The name of the area in the north of Britain, outside the control of the ancient Roman Empire. It is roughly the area of present-day Scotland. It was inhabited by the Caledonians. The Romans invaded this area under the command of G. Agricola in 82, but withdrew by the time of the reign of Emperor Trajan (98-117). The next emperor, Hadrian, established the border with Roman Britain and built Hadrian's Wall. They later re-entered the area around 180-185 and built the Antonine Wall, but it did not last.
