PICTS: SCOURGE OF ROME RULERS OF THE NORTH (BIRLINN) (PB)

The mysterious and enigmatic Picts flourished in northern Scotland from c. 300 AD. Their intricately carved symbol stones have remained an enigma for well over a thousand years. This book details the significant advances in our knowledge of the Picts over the last ten years, plus a historical overview of the Picts from the late Roman sources to the tenth century. It also covers kingship and elite culture, everyday life, burial traditions, pagan and Christian belief, art and crafting, and the end of Pictland during the Viking The Age.
