However, we know they fought hard and against the invaders because the Roman historian Tacitus made specific references to their defiance in his 'Histories'.
The general focus on defence during Hadrian's tenure has led some to the notion that his wall was more than a mere trade gateway - it was intended to keep the Picts and other Caledonian peoples out.īroadly, the Picts remain an enigmatic people who left no written records behind. The Romans tried for many years to bring them under control - the Emperors Hadrian and Antoninus even resorting to building walls across the country in order to control the passage of, and trade between, Imperial subjects and the savage, tenacious "northmen".
The Picts are resolute defenders of their homeland, which lies at the far north of the Britannic Isles.
