Red Box Wargame 1/72 Picts Scotland Tribe from Roman Era (48) Set
Although their origins are unclear the Picts are first found in Orkney, a group of islands north-east of what is now Scotland. In the early third century CE, the Romans carried out a destructive campaign north of the Antonine Wall to quell the various tribes there, then retreated behind Hadrians Wall, which seems to have opened the way for Pictish expansion into the area. Once the Picts overcame the native Caledonii tribe they dominated much of northern Britain for the next 600 years, raiding the Roman, post-Roman and Saxon lands to the south.
