***It's not unlike the mythical Scottish resistance to Roman rule (it never happened)***

😅 Well, there is Hadrian's Wall.

***the ridiculous "battle that stopped Rome" cooked up about the miserable failure, flash-in-the-pan turncoat Arminius***

This Arminius?

With that winged helmet he looks a bit like Mercury/Hermes. (I'll fly away, oh glory...)

Exactly. A 19th century statue built in the wrong place.

Hadrian’s Wall — built to reduce manpower on a mostly quiet border with non-Scots, and regulate trade with them.

In Ireland, the ancestors of the Scots were peeing their kilts in fear until the Romans finally left Britain.
