It is often written as the or to distinguish it from the 1st century BC (or BCE) which preceded it. The 1st century is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period. The 1st century also saw the appearance of Christianity. During this period, Europe, North Africa and the Near East fell under increasing domination by the Roman Empire, which continued expanding, most notably conquering Britain under the emperor Claudius (AD 43).

Anglo-Welsh Novelists
Welsh writing in English (Welsh: ''Llenyddiaeth Gymreig yn Saesneg''), (previously Anglo-Welsh literature) is a term used to describe works written in the English language by Welsh writers. The term ‘Anglo-Welsh’ replaced an earlier attempt to define this category of writing as ‘Anglo-Cymric'. The form ‘Anglo-Welsh’ was used by Idris Bell in 1922 and revived by Raymond Garlick and Roland Mathias when they re-named their literary periodical ‘'Dock Leaves’', as ‘'The Anglo-Welsh Review'’ and later further defined the term in their anthology ''Anglo-Welsh Poetry 1480-1980'' as denoting a literature in which “the first element of the compound being understood to specify the language and the second the provenance of the writing.” Although recognised as a distinctive entity only since the 20th century, Garlick and Mathias sought to identify a tradition of writing in English in Wales going back much further The need for a separate identity for this kind of writing ...

People Educated At Ysgol Brynteg
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
