Suetonius

The Barddas of Iolo Morganwg, Vol. I., ed. by J. Williams Ab Ithel, [1862], at sacred-texts.com

C. SUETONIUS TRANQUILLUS.

Suetonius flourished in the beginning of the second century. He describes "the Druidic religion among the Gauls as one of terrible cruelty." ¹ We presume that he here refers to their practice of sacrificing men, which, as we have already noticed, seems to have sprung from the Bardic doctrine of eneidvaddeu.
