The Scots weren't in Scotland at the time, they were cowering with fear in Ireland, not daring to cross over until the Romans had been gone for generations. Oh, and Septimius Severus was proud of his Carthaginian roots. Perhaps the best-known anecdote is that he told his sons on his deathbed, "Be of one mind, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest."

"Scots" and "Scotland" proper would not emerge as unified ideas until centuries later. In fact, the Roman Empire influenced every part of Scotland during the period: by the time of the End of Roman rule in Britain around 410, the various Iron Age tribes native to the area had united as, or fallen under the control of, the Picts, while the southern half of the country was overrun by tribes of Romanized Britons. The Scoti (Gaelic Irish raiders) who would give Scotland its English name, had begun to settle along the west coast. All three groups may have been involved in the Great Conspiracy that overran Roman Britain in 367. The era saw the emergence of the earliest historical accounts of the natives. The most enduring legacies of Rome, however, were Christianity and literacy, both of which arrived indirectly via Irish missionaries.
