	Carla Nayland Book Review - Julia by William Napier
		Very little is known of this tribe, who are mentioned in passing in a handful of late Roman sources and who are thought to have lived in the far north of Scotland and/or in the Scottish Islands.
		The Attacotti as portrayed reminded me of the 'Injuns' in formulaic Westerns, which for me detracted from their effect and made them less fearsome enemies.
		The Roman Empire had adopted Christianity as the official religion a generation before Julia is set, yet the evidence from the excavated burial was consistent with the occupant having been a pagan.

	Great Conspiracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the winter of 367, the Roman garrison on Hadrian's Wall rebelled, and allowed Picts from Caledonia to enter Britannia.
		Simultaneously, Scotti and Attacotti from Hibernia, and Saxons from Germania, landed in (coordinated and pre-arranged) waves on the island's mid-western and south-eastern borders, respectively.
		Certainly, the Notitia Dignitatum later records four units of Attacotti serving Rome on the continent.

	History Of The Scottish Nation - Vol 1, Chapter 22 - The Planting of the Scottish Nation
		Inhabitants of that intermediate territory had come to be a mixed race, made up of Briton and Roman, with perhaps a few strangers of Caledonian, that is, Pictish blood, who had stolen down form the region of the Grampians to settle in the pleasant vales of this more fertile and picturesque land.
		This mongrel population passed under the general name of Meatae, and afterwards when the Scots came to mingle with them, and still farther diversified their blood, they were sometimes spoken of as Attacotti.

	Attacotti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		a valiant tribe of Caledonia, the Attacotti, the enemies, and afterwards the soldiers, of Valentinian, are accused, by an eye-witness, of delighting in the taste of human flesh.
		When they hunted the woods for prey, it is said that they attacked the shepherd rather than his flock; and that they curiously selected the most delicate and brawny parts, both of males and females, which they prepared for their horrid repasts.
		Who the Attacotti were is actually something of a mystery.

	Ireland: Demographics - K12 Academics
		Ireland has been inhabited for at least 9,000 years, although little is known about the paleolithic or neolithic inhabitants of the island.
		Early historical and genealogical records note the existence of dozens of different peoples (Cruithne, Attacotti, Conmaicne, Eóganachta, Érainn, Soghain, to name but a few).
		Over the last 1,000 years, there have been influences by the Vikings, who founded several ports, including Dublin, and Normans, with some admixture to the gene pool.

	Attacotti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Attacotti (also Atecotti, A(t)ticotti, Ategutti) appears in several late Roman texts.
		The historian Ammianus Marcellinus includes this ‘warlike race of men’ (bellicosa hominum natio) in a list of peoples disturbing Roman Britain c.364-7, including the Scots, Picts and Saxons.
		Scottish clan and family lineages drawn from the Attacotti are equally inauthentic.

	Barbarians at the Gates by Tim Case
		In short it was a nice way of saying that the Romans were no longer willing to fight in their own armies so they were looking for others to work at the jobs the Romans wouldn’t take.
		This policy had put a huge number of people on the Roman payroll notably the Attacotti, Franks, Vandals, Alans and the Visigoths (western Goths).
		Traditionally the payments to the barbarians took the form of money and/or food but as inflation began to make the Roman coin more and more worthless those of the foederati were allowed to settle in Roman territories as if they were Roman citizens.

	Count of the Saxon Shore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally, the command may have covered both sides of the English Channel as well as Britain's western coast, as Carausius had done but by the end of the fourth century the role had been diminished and Gaul had its own dux tractus Amoricani and dux Belgicae Secundae.
		In 367, a series of invasions from Picts, Franks, Saxons, Scots and Attacotti appears to have defeated the army of Britain and resulted in the death of Nectaridus.
		Under Count Theodosius' reforms, the command was reorganised slightly.

	Legion by Slitherine - Scenario 1
		There were at least 3 major confederations which were present later, but not earlier in the period (the Picti, Maeatae and Attacotti).
		Also, some tribes had achieved positions of transient (or long-lasting) dominance, and their name became applied to all the other tribes they ruled.
		This area may be the heart of the later confederation called the Attacotti.

		Settled in Strathclyde were the Britons who had spread from England along with the Saxons who occupied the southeast.
		The Attacotti were in Galloway and Argyll, during the 6th century the Kingdom of Dalriada was established, from here came the Scots or Scoti, the eventual inheritors of the nation.

		In 343 his son Constans campaigned against the Picts; this may have been followed by a peace treaty, since there is a report of a broken agreement in 360 when the Picts, allied with the Scots of Ireland, raided the frontier and were apparently driven back.
		Although the Saxon raids almost certainly had nothing to do with it, the other peoples were probably working together - Dicalydones looks like a mangling of Caledones, and there is constantly an idea of division by two among the Picts in Roman sources.
		In AD 367-9 the Picts allied with the Scots and Attacotti, causing Count Theodosius to be sent out to Britain to sort things out.

		The word Attacotti* and its variants Atecotti, A(t)ticotti, Ategutti in Latin texts most probably respresent Roman attempts at rendering the Old Irish aithechthúatha, not a specific tribal name, but a collective description for lower-status population groups throughout Ireland, usually translated into English as ‘rent-paying tribes’, ‘vassal communities’ or ‘tributary peoples.’

	Attacotti Did You Mean attacotti?
		Throughout the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Scottish antiquaries persistently placed the Attacotti in Dumbartonshire, prompting Edward Gibbon to muse on the possibility of a ?race of cannibals?
		This entirely spurious tradition was based upon ?Richard of Cirencester?, a mediaeval forgery perpetrated by Charles Bertram in 1757.
		Later Irish and Welsh traditions concerning these population movements preserved the names of certain tributary Irish groups, which seem to have been displaced by the expansion of the Eóganachta, the group of septs which came to dominate Munster in the later fourth century.

	Ireland not the Hibernia of the Ancients
		Do they imagine that the noble island of Ireland, a country superior in size, and far more in fertility and population to Scotland, was quite invisible to the Romans, or that by another miracle the inhabitants of a country so very near Britain never invaded this island?
		At 364 Ammianus mentions Picti Saxonesque et Scotti et Attacotti.
		And the Attacotti, or, as shown above, those Scots who settled in Pictland, are specially distinguished from tho Scotti proper, or those of Ireland."

		Other foederati lay beyond Italy: Gades in Spain, and Massilia (Marseilles).
		Later the term foederati was extended by the Roman practice of subsidizing entire barbarian tribes — which included the Attacotti, Franks, Vandals, Alans and, best known, the Visigoths — in exchange for providing soldiers to fight in the Roman armies.
		Alaric began his career leading a band of Gothic foederati.

		The Celts were left to their own defenses after being forsaken by the Roman Emperor Honorius, who extracted his troops and protection from Britain and surrounding areas shortly after the beginning of the Dark Ages.
		Without the awesome protection of Rome, Britain became a target for raids by a number of enemies including, Angles, Franks, Jutes, Saxons, Picts, Attacotti, and Scotti.
		As Britains defenses weakened, an alliance was made between King Vortigern and the Saxons, in return for protection from the other raiding parties, it allowed admittance for the Saxons to settle the eastern coast of Britain.
