		About the year 200 a people called the Maeatae were named along with the Caledonians as an enemy of Britannia and Hadrian's wall was crossed in the early 180's and Antonine's wall remained out of commission until about 212.
		The Maeatae dwelt next to the Antonine wall aned that them and the Caledonians were the two main tribes north of the Forth/Clyde ismuth.
		Later the references become Caledonians and Maeatae or Caledonians and Verturiones (Fortrenn) and finally that both these tribes were Picts.

	Maeatae Information
		The Maeatae were a confederation of tribes who lived probably between Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall or possibly just on either side of Hadrian's Wall in Roman Britain.
		Near the summit of Dumyat hill in the Ochils, overlooking Stirling, there are remains of a fort and the name of the hill is believed to be a corruption of "Dun Maeatae" - the hill of the Maeatae.
		They appear to have come together as a result of treaties struck between the Roman Empire and the various frontier tribes in the 180s AD under the governorship of Ulpius Marcellus.

		The fort of Dumyat, which sits on a spur of the larger hill of the same name behind it, is in an excellent defensive position commanding wide-ranging views across the Carse of Forth to the south, and on the western edge of the Ochils.
		The name Dumyat is believed to derive from Dun Maeatae - the fort of the Maeatae.
		The Maeatae or Miathi were a tribe in central Scotland.

	The Heroic Age: Artúr mac Aedan of Dalriada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Maeatae were described by the Roman writer Dio Cassius as a tribe hostile to Rome living next to the wall, presumably the Antonine Wall (Bannerman 1974:84; Duncan 1975:25).
		According to Duncan (1975:25–26), Dio Cassius understood the Maeatae and the Caledonii to be composed of various separate peoples whom Roman pressure and policy had forced into a small number of confederations.
		It is perhaps safest to consider the Maeatae as a Celtic tribe heavily influenced by both the Picts and Britons, as any tribe on the border would be.

		It is equally clear from the words of Dio., that these two nations were but two divisions of the same race; and he adds, that the Maeatae lay next to the wall and the Caledonii beyond them, and that to one or other of these two nations might be referred all the other tribes.
		The history of the Saxons is too well known to require any examination; their attacks upon the Romans and provincial Britons were merely piratical excursions, and they had no settlement in the island till long after this period.
		It appears then that the Picts consisted of two great nations, of which one is identified by Eumenius with the Caledonii; and as the Maeatae were certainly of the same race, and inhabited the same territories with the other division of the Pictish nation, their identity cannot be doubted.

	AKA Mary Jones
		Inasmuch as the Caledonians did not abide by their promises and had made ready to aid the Meaetae, and in view of the fact that Severus at the time was devoting himself to the neighbouring war, Lupus was compelled to purchase peace from the Maeatae for a large sum; and he received a few captives.
		The Maeatae live next to the cross-wall which cuts the island in half, and the Caledonians are beyond them.
		Both tribes inhabit wild and waterless mountains and desolate and swampy plains, and possess neither walls, cities, nor tilled fields, but live on their flocks, wild game, and certain fruits; for they do not touch the fish which are there found in immense and inexhaustible quantities.

		The Romans recorded a tribe named Maeatae that occupied the central district of the Venicones.
		The Maeatae live next to the cross-wall [Antonine's Wall] which cuts the island in half, and the Caledonians are beyond them [in the Highlands].
		The fact that the Coille Daoine removed their wives to a place of safety in 84 C.E., just before the battle of Mons Graupius, doesn't contradict the implication that by banning women from fighting in combat, women had been fighting, up until then.

		This descent through the female line, instead of the male (as the Scots and Angles), would eventually lead to their virtual disappearance in history as a separate people.
		As far as can be established, the Maeatae were located in the area immediately behind the Antonine Wall, with the Caledonians a bit further north.
		The Picts seem to emerge the strongest of the four peoples, as we head into the 4-5th centuries, which suggests their dominance of the other tribes.

		In any event, the work of restoration went on throughout the reign, with the object of protecting the security of the province by dealing with those tribes who threatened Hadrian’s wall, especially the Caledonians, who dwelt in the highlands, and the Maeatae, who lived north of the Forth.
		An advance base was begun at Carpow on the Tay, and Severus was able to conclude a favourable treaty with the Caledonians and Maeatae in 209.
		Late in the same year the emperor and his sons took the title Britannicus and Geta was raised to the rank of Augustus.

		The Areani were perhaps a tuath of romanized Attacotii employed as Roman scouts to keep watch upon the Maeatae.
		It was from Luguvalium that Ninian made his missionary journeys to the Attacotii between 350 and 370, becoming established at Whithorn Monastery (Candida Casa) in Kirkcudbright, Galloway and perhaps founding other congregations among the Maeatae and Caledonii, possibly even Ninian’s Church in the Shetland Islands.
		But Oswiu of Northumbria conquered part of the territory of the Maeatae in 668 and gained control of the valley of the Clyde, dominating the Britons, as well as the Maeatae, for thirty years.

	Dicalydones Information
		The name bears a striking resemblance to the other historical nomenclature donated to the Picts by classical historians, Caledonii.
		Some scholars theorize that the two groups (Dicalydones and Caledonii) are one and the same, and that the other major Pictish tribes, related by Ptolemy as the Vacomagi, Venicones, and Taezali, eventually went on to form the Maeatae mentioned by Cassius Dio.
		Other archaic accounts, which mention the Caledonii and Maeatae as the two major Pictish tribes, would seem to corroborate this hypothesis.

		Ptolemy listed 12 tribes from around the 2nd century AD with the Caledonii and Maeatae being mentioned as existing towards the end of that century.
		The first actual mention of these people was in 297 when Emperor Constantine referred to Caledonians and other Picts and around 314 the Scoti, Picti and Caledonii were mentioned.

		After a decade of trouble on the frontier, Severus decided that only an imperial expedition could secure peace.

		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 have been the heart of the later confederation of the Maeatae, but there is no certain information as to its location.
