They rose to power in the devastation following Emperor Septimus Severus's repression of the Caledonians in AD 208, and dominated Northern Britain for over 500 years, before vanishing mysteriously. The Picts represent a high point of Celtic civilisation, remaining free and unconquered beyond the borders of the Roman world, and rising to become the first barbarians to form a recognisable 'nation'. This title takes a detailed look at their origins, and examines Pictish heroic and warrior society, covering education and training, appearance and equipment, the status of women, and the experience of battle. 1173647 25 5 2002 Pictish Warrior AD 297-841 (Warrior) total:7|5:1|4:4|3:2|2:0|1:0| 7 27 8 0 4 0 false false Sat Nov 14 22:10:42 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 19:01:44 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 19:02:10 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 20 18:45:57 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 18:45:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 09 09:05:56 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 09 09:05:56 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Oct 12 07:53:52 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 07:53:52 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 29 06:52:35 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 06:52:35 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Aug 25 13:47:34 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 13:47:34 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Wed Aug 22 15:37:19 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 22 15:37:19 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Wed Jun 13 05:14:44 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 13 05:14:44 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1185682
