Caledonians

(重定向自Caledonii)
Peoples of Northern Britain according to Ptolemy's 2nd-century Geography

The Caledonians (Latin:Caledones or Caledonii; Greek: Καληδώνες, Kalēdōnes) or the Caledonian Confederacy were a group of indigenous peoples of what is now Scotland during the Iron Age and Roman eras. The name is an exonym: the Ancient Greeks and Romans knew their territory as Caledonia and used the term vaguely to reference its inhabitants. The Caledonians were initially considered to be a group of Britons, but were later distinguished as the Picts. The Caledonians were enemies of the Roman Empire, which was the occupying force then administering most of Great Britain as the Roman province of Britannia.
