Sudbrook, Monmouthshire the Silures from the 2nd century BC and occupied by the Romans from the 1st century AD until the 4th century. The hillfort was originally much bigger than now having been eroded over the centuries. Finds of Roman coins at Black Rock, Portskewett, show that the ferry crossing was in use in Roman times, on the route between the Roman stations of "Aquae Sulis" (Bath) and "Venta Silurum" (Caerwent). According to tradition, Caradog Freichfras, the Welsh ruler of Gwent in the 5th century or 6th century AD, moved his court from Caerwent to the Portskewett area, possibly to the fort.
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (dietary supplement) from the air, and water to synthesize proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. AFA is also able to directly use molecular nitrogen from the air to produce proteins and other nitrogen-containing biomolecules. This ability is widespread in prokaryotes, but unknown in eukaryotes. "Aphanizomenon flos-aquae" as a species has both toxic and non-toxic forms. While benefits have been indicated, toxicity has been shown in some strains of the species "Aphanizomenon flos-aquae", with cylindrospermopsin and saxitoxins present, and microcystins found contaminating AFA dietary supplements. The World Health Organization's "Guidelines For Drinking Water Quality" note Anatoxin-a, saxitoxins, and cylindrospermopsins are present in the Aphanizomenon genus.
