Scotland
the fifth century the Picts had emerged as the dominant force in northern Scotland, with the various Brythonic
tribes the Romans had first encountered there occupying the southern half of the country.
After preliminary lowscale invasions of the island, the Romans invaded Britain in force in 43 AD, forcing their
way inland through several battles against British tribes, including the Battle of the Medway, the Battle of the
Thames, the Battle of Caer Caradoc and the Battle of Mona. Following a general uprising in which the Britons
sacked Colchester, St Albans and London, the Romans suppressed the rebellion in the Battle of Watling Street
and went on to push as far north as central Scotland in the Battle of Mons Graupius. Tribes in modernday
Scotland and Northern England repeatedly rebelled against Roman rule and two military bases were established
