Roman invasion of Caledonia

Roman invasion of Caledonia

The Roman invasion of Caledonia was when Romans with their victorious armies entered Caledonia, the land of the Picts, where their historians describe the northern boundaries of their conquests, frequently alluding to this ancient town, at a very early period, under the name of Alcluith or Alcluyd.
