Reminder Roman sissies could not defeat Scot chads
>>216198869Did they really try? What's even in Scotland that they would want?
>>216198869How well could they have invaded the Americas if they knew where to sail?
>>216198882they tried >What's even in Scotland that they would want?nothing, but they wanted their outposts to stop getting raided by scotts randomly
>>2161988691. They did under Septimus Severus.2. They were Picts, not Scots. Scots are zainichis from Ireland.3. The land was so worthless that the Romans just went “whatever” and didn’t care.4. Most of Roman Britain was worthless, barely Romanized land spare for what eventually became Wessex and Cornwall.
>>216198932I'm not an expert so i could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the modern day scotts trace most of their ancestry back to the picts, the gaels culturally replaced the picts but they remained dominant in the gene pool
>>216199142No, modern Scots are a mutt race made up of the Irish, the Norwegians, and the English. Depends largely on where in Scotland they’re from.
>>216198869Picts aren't Scots. I only know about three campaigns up far north, Agricola, Septimius Severus and Stilicho's. But only Severus tried an extended conquest. The other two only ranged north to pacify the people of the region.
>>216198882They did. It was too dezentralized even by british standards and too little to rake home by annexing the region. It didn't have a single medium sized town. Even Germania was metropolitan in comparrison
>>216198932>Scots are zainichis from Ireland.A Medieval myth promoted by a 19th century map maker whose singular source was a book which is now universally condemned.>1. They did under Septimus Severus.No they didn't
>>216199358Yes, they did. All the way up to modern day Aberdeen. Cope, McKinsey.
>>216199382yes which is why not a single irish or english historic chronicle mentions it. even the four masters who compiled many irish texts failed to find a single reference to this mythical conquest
>>216199142>>216199161Auughhhh 19th century racial science...
>>216199404>yes which is why not a single irish or english historic chronicle mentions itNigga, I’m talking about Septimius Severus’ campaign.
>>216199430and they went to inverness and were subsequently buckbroken due to "disease"
>>216199465>due to “disease”Yes? The absolute majority of causalities during pre-industrial campaigns were due to disease and hunger, not actual combat. People believed that diseases are caused by an imbalance of humors ffs.
