Ancient Briton, Caledonian and Irish Bard

The Britons were the people who spoke the Insular Celtic language known as Common Brittonic. They lived in Great Britain during the Iron Age, the Roman era and the post-Roman era. Caledonia is the Latin name given by the Romans to the land in today's Scotland north of their province of Britannia, beyond the frontier of their empire. The Picts were a tribal confederation of Celtic peoples during the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval periods living in ancient eastern and northern Scotland. The Picts are often said to have tattooed themselves, but evidence for this is limited. Captioned, "Costume of an ancient Briton, Caledonian, and pagan Irish Bard", taken from page 30 of "The History of England; from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688" by D. Hume with a continuation, from that period to the death of George the Second, by Tobias Smollett and Chronological Records to the coronation of his present Majesty, George the Fourth, by John Burke with numerous engravings, 1825.
