The Scotti were still in Ireland at this time. The Kingdom Dal Riada was still hundreds of years away. The inhabitants were a Brythonic people (albeit with a very different culture) known as 'Pictii' due to their tattoos and Sluagh painted images on their bodies.

Ya, Scots were subordinate to Pictish kingdoms all the way up to the 760s. It was only when the United Kingdom of Alba was created by a Dalriadan King that the Pictish identity began to be actually overtaken by Scottish identity.

Scotland, uniquely in the British isles was a nation created by a dynasty from pre-existing disparate ethnic groups. The Dal Riadan rulers of the MacAlpin dynasty forged a nation out of the Scotti of Argyll, the Picts, the 'Welsh' of Strathclyde, the English of the Lothians and the Norse of Caithness and the Isles.

While Hadrian's Wall was built in 122 AD, the less formidable Antonine Wall was established in 142 AD. Antonine Wall was built further North in what later has become familiar to us as Scotland. Antonine Wall was abandoned about 8 years after its completion; eventually, the Roman's again became reliant upon Hadrian's Wall.

@elisabettamacghille4623
@elisabettamacghille4623 Жыл бұрын
Gaius Julius Caesar also frequently preferred to leave the high ground to the enemy, regardless of having to face the battle from an unfavorable position. Why? It is not easy to give an answer, perhaps due to a psychological choice: the enemy, feeling themselves in the advantage, fought with less conviction, certain that the terrain alone would favor victory, while the Romans, starting at a disadvantage, were certain that they would have to fight with great concentration and courage. In this way he also "fixed" the enemy on the spot, forcing him to deploy first and thus gaining time to think about and set up an effective tactical response. Greatest example among many of this Caesarian tactic: the Battle of Pharsalus.

1st there was no "Ireland" from then, and the Dal Riatan Scots who inhabited western Scotland and ulster were always historically , genetically, and culturally closest to mainland Scotland, due to Pictish migration to nothern Ireland(cruthin people). Most Scots today descend from Picts and gaels, so it is accurate to call these ancient peoples "Scots"

The northerners were not called Picts, or Scots, at the time of Agricola, such terms were not used until the late 3rd & 4th centuries respectively. In the 1st century various tribal groups are named in the region. Calgacus speech is a Roman forensic exercise. It represents what Tacitus would have said if he were leader of Rome's enemies. It acts as a barb against the Roman Senate being weakly subservient to the tyrant Domitian.

The landscape of the Scottish highlands is the reason why they never occupied the north: mountains everywhere, huge lochs dividing much of the land, lots of rivers and marshes too. Also the outer islands, which would mean navies would be required extensively.

Yes and in those times the highlands would also have heavily forested. At least up to the 'treeline', which is about 2000 feet. The Romans would have been mindful of what to their legions in Germania in 4 AD in the battle of Teutoborg when they were massacred. This would have been one reason why they did not pursue the Caledonians/Picts into the forested highlands.

0:44 - Dear Invicta. "the last battle of the ancient Scots" - WHY ARE YOU RE-WRITING HISTORY?!!? (this is absolute dangerous territory and not called for - ever. it's actually ridiculous what you've done) = There were NO "SCOTS" on the island of Britain during this point of history. This battle occurred in AD 83/84 - and The Scotti (the Latinised name of the tribe from northern 'Hibernia' or as its known today - Ireland ; did not migrate to northern Britain (present day Scotland) until until circa AD 367-368. Thus - based on the evidence to date only Celtic Britons i.e. The Picts inhabited the island on Britain as indigenous native peoples of the island at the time of the battle. This is a massive (and possibly even damn-right negligent) oversight on your part questioning your whole credibility and absolute ignorance to FACTUAL history. Also insulting to those genuinely interested, knowledgeable and studied history. To put it into perspective what you have done is the equivalent to making a documentary about the Battle of Gettysburg and calling it - "Gettysburg - How England fought Scotland again in the New World" - because the significant Scottish and Scots Irish heritage of the South / Confederacy especially in the Appalachia, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina VS the folks of the Northern regions with predominantly English Heritage: Massachusetts / New England Region, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. Ridiculous right???? and a huge insult to Americans on both sides saying the entire american civil war was really just about a new 'round' of Scottish folk vs English folk in the new world.

4:50 Oh that. Well there are a number of things. First, Rome normally puts there least experienced troops (Hastati) in the front, followed by the more experienced (Principes) making up the second rank. While deploying there most experienced troops, the Triarii in the rear. They use this strategy to wear down the enemy and hit them with their more experienced troops that are fresh. That way, he could have used his legions to mop up. . Also you need to consider the auxiliary's were made-up of Germanic tribes. These tribes were some of the best and fiercest in Europe at the time and would have known how to best the Picks. Where as the Roman legions may not have been used to them or at least, not as suited to dealing with them. That and because the General dismounted and fought in the front ranks shows me that he considered the Germanic tribes in high regard. Julius Caesar personal guard was made-up of German calvary which decimated and demoralized the Spanish calvary during the Roman civil war.

The conquering victorious write history to suit their situation. Whether the skirmish/battle took place is a point for conjecture. There has been no positive proof of a skirmish/battle site. Plenty of guess work to date but no positive proof. It sounds a fantastic story or victory from a Roman point of view but until there is actual proof and evidence let’s just say it was ‘the great skirmish of 83/84 AD’.

Without a shred of evidence. A work of fiction written 30 years after the supposed event by Agricolas son in law who had never set foot in Britain let alone visited Scotland, to cover for the Romans singular failure to dominate the Caledonians. There is however stories handed down through generations of running battles on the high ground between Blairgowrie and Dunkeld (Blar means battle). Roman remains have been found and the nearest fort was abandoned in haste to the point 5 tons of nails were buried to prevent them falling into the hands of the Caledonians. The Romans came north and had to build a wall to keep the Scots out.

Well by this logic we don't have much evidence for most battles. It's unlikely the battle is made up the roman success is just most likely heavily exaggerated. The rest of tacitus work on britian is real he's the one who wrote of boudicas revolt decades after the revolt. Many historic sources are written decades after the events. Its a very strange lie to make up

@@RoyalRegimentofScotland err I think you have just managed to defeat your own argument. Logic depends on being able to deduce facts and reach a conclusion based upon evidence. So without evidence its impossible to say if something actually occurred. I have pointed out that there is no evidence to corroborate the narrative written by someone who had never visited britain 30 years after the event and was closely related to the roman leader. At the very least we would see roman casualties recorded but all we see is the constant drip drip of losses consistent with a loosing campaign. Whereas there is evidence from the local story record and place names and artefacts of roman losses near Blairgowrie plus the hastily abandoned fortress nearby where for example 5 tons of nails were buried to prevent the Picts getting them (and making them into spears). Hope that helps. PS Macbeth is another one. Shakespeare made up the story to keep in with the current royals.

I think it is absolutely likely that the casualty numbers were exaggerated. From Tacitus own description, it sounded like it was at times a bit of an uphill battle for the Romans. The Romans were also fond of talking themselves up. I think the Romans decided to set up forts for the reason that they did not defeat the Caledonian's so soundly as we believe. They may have put up forts because pushing forward with an army was untenable after Mons Graupius, but the Caledonians had been subdued just enough to establish a foothold

Yeah, romans were just lying. Seriously. And yet the entire island was subdued, colonized and alphabetized, like any other place. Such good liers! PS leaving former scotland alone had the same reason like germania. Far away frozen land, poor, fierce autoctone populations rebellous in nature... Too expensive to colonize, because the potential tax revenue was negligible, and the barbarians useless as legionnaires because reputed untrustable. Romans were interested only in lands that could be colonized and developed, generating revenues and soldiers. If these conditions lacked, a wall was built. This does not change the obliterating defeats suffered by anyone that tried to face the legions on a pitch battle, picts included. The germanic tribes were as well destroyed, before the romans stepped across the big river and fortified the border. The ambush in the teutoburg forest (basically, a treason) carried no luck to the tribes, that were defeated again and again. Romans stopped only if there was not sufficient prize fo finance the enterprise.

I agree. Their were no Roman forts north of the Grampian Mountains which formed the southern boundary of the Northeast of Scotland. The Grampians is considered the most likely site of the battle. If the romans had so decisively defeated the Picts, why did they only use marching camps in the NE (eg Raedykes and Normandyke) ? Also, more recent archaeological evidence has shown that Roman generals, including Julius Caesar, greatly embellished their successes in provincial wars for political advantage.

I still think pulling back was a long term mistake. If all of Britania could be pacified (note it would need Hibernia as well) then the region could have simply been held with the navy. Then of course there is the issue of creating a civil war bastion if there is no local external threat

The Romans didn't even managed to heavily Romanise Britain much beyound it's Colonies (cities). The Roman Empire was never too invested in Britain and going on a slugging match against the rest of the tribes might've even opened them up to bigger threats. Besides, the Germanic tribes were still a massive threat to Britain.

@@aidansumner8364 That's my point, no efforts were put to Romanise and end the conquest of Britania, when similar efforts to what they did in Gallia could have done the trick within half a century or so. As to the German tribes as said they could have been held back simply with the threat of the Navy. But I'll admit this is taking into account the knowledge of a bird's eye view of the shape and distances of the islands, which neither the senate or the emperors possessed

@@Cancoillotteman Rome had a dreadful time holding back German tribes even with fixed land defences across Europe. There were pretty regular major & minor incursions into the empire, sometimes as far as Italy & Spain. That & events on the eastern borders probably meant that Rome couldn't commit as many forces for as long as a total victory & occupation would take. Hence consolidating at Hadrians & Antonine walls with only occasional forays further north.

"Ancient Scots". Eh? The name comes from the Roman "Scotii", referring to sea raiders that came over from Ireland to attack Roman-held territory. These people later, spread to western Scotland and much later, merged with the Caledonian tribes, then later again, with the British tribes in the south of modern-day Scotland to become what we know as the Scots. At that time, what is now Scotland was controlled by ancient Caledonian tribes often burdened with the misnomer, "Picts", or Pictii in Latin. This, is a mistranslation of the Roman word "pectii", meaning "combs". This is confirmed by the Annals of Ulster which referred to the tribe called the Miathi as "comb-heads", on account of their crested hairstyle in imitation of a boar, - their totem animal. The Miathi were the tribe immediately north of Antonine's Wall, thus were in frequent direct conflict with the Romans. Calgacus is a Roman name. I seriously doubt, the two sides exchanged personal details before engaging. Their southern British allies would not, have understood the language of the Caledonians, hence no communication would have occurred. There is no evidence whatsoever that, Caledonian tribes EVER used chariots. The terrain in Scotland makes the use of such vehicles near impossible, particularly at that time, when nearly all of Scotland was mountain, forest, or bog. Scotland has never produced horses in any numbers, and even in Medieval times, was at a serious disadvantage due to lack of heavy cavalry. Small ponies were the best they had. You are taking poetic licence too far. The account of the battle is the only source of information and only the fact that Agricola was given a Triumph for the victory confirms it as an actual event. No site has ever been found, nor any proof such a battle occurred. No-one knows which Caledonian tribes were involved and given the known tendency of Romans to exaggerate the numbers of the defeated, it is wise to take any numbers with a large pinch of salt. The account of the battle is rather fantastical and contrary to the way Romans fought, which followed set patterns. before the reforms of Marius this tended to be in a checkerboard pattern with the first couple of lines of "squares" Hastarii, followed by two lines of squares of Principii, then a double line of Triari at the rear. Following Marius, they tended to fight with several lines of archers in front, followed by two broken lines made up of blocks of legionarries, then a double line of Triari behind, with any other auxiliaries on the flanks with cavalry behind them. Your map shows Britain as under Roman control up to the Clyde/Forth line, which didn't occur for almost, another sixty years. They advanced to that point and built the Antonine Wall in 142AD. In truth, Agricola's expedition pushed further north than, shown on your map, sticking to the east coast. It is no coincidence that, all Roman forts north of the Antonine Wall were on the east coast, as most of Scotland's landscape is entirely unsuitable for a Roman army to operate in. The very idea of Roman troops "mopping up" hostile tribes in the Highlands is hilarious, as the Highlands remained unconquered right up till the 18th century. Only Highland troops could operate and find their way in the Highlands, as many English troops found out to their cost. The Romans never came anywhere near conquering all of Scotland. They only maintained forts for a few years because, they were prospecting for metal ores. having found nothing worth mining nearby, and having no access to the ore-rich Highlands, they retreated. For Romans, it was all about the money. Romans never penetrated any part of the Highlands, even temporarily, as they couldn't fight there in a way they understood.
