	Coritiotar
		The altar found at Hexham Abbey, presumably robbed from Corbridge, is a very important clue to the source of Corionototarum.
		North from Corbridge Dere Street roughly divides what is regarded as the tribe of the Selgovae on the west from the Votadini on the east.
		The major hill-fort, the tribal oppidum, of the Selgovae was Eildon Hill North (NT554328), Roxburgh.

	The New Statistical Account - Kirkcudbright.
		The town is thought to have existed before the invasion of the Romans, and to have been known to them by the name of Benutium.
		Agricola, with his victorious army, penetrated into the parish A. He entered it on the northeast boundary, and having taken a British strength belonging to the Selgovae on the farm of Little Sypland, he encamped near Whinnyligget, about a mile from the captured fort.
		This fortress, which may be considered the principal border garrison of the Selgovae, stood on an eminence of about 250 feet high at Drummore The Romans retained possession of it during the reigns of the Antonines, or, as some think, for nearly 300 years.

	Kingdoms of British Celts - Caer-Guendoleu
		Their capital was on North Eildon hill near Melrose, and the Romans later built the fort of Trimontium, at Newstead, nearby.
		By the end of the fourth century the bulk of the Selgovae northern and central territory seems to have been taken over by Alt Clut, and the remnants were part of Coel Hen's Kingdom of North Britain.
		The king dies in battle against Ebrauc and Dunoting at the battle of Arfderydd (Arderydd / Armterid / Atterith - modern Arthuret, near Longtown in Cumbria), the opposing forces being led by his brother and cousin respectively.

	The Celtic Tribes of Britain
		In his Geography, Ptolemy places the Selgovae in the Southern uplands of Scotland, though the precise extent of their territory is unknown.
		As a result it is not entirely clear whether the Selgovae and Votadini were truly separate peoples or not.
		If the Selgovae can be considered a separate tribe then their main settlement was probably at Elidon Seat.

	HADRIAN
		Two prominent Celtic tribes, the Brigantes and the Selgovae, occupied the region and had never taken well to Roman domination.
		Hadrian decided to enforce the old Roman policy of "divide and rule." His wall would split the Brigantes from the Selgovae and hopefully overawe and pacify the troublesome tribes.
		Perhaps the Brigantes, Selgovae and other tribes saw the removal of the southern garrison as an opportunity for revolt.

	QUINTUS LOLLIUS URBICUS
		Urbicus was a native of Numidia (modern Algeria), and former governor of Lower Germany, who was sent to Britain as one of the first commissions of the emperor Antoninus Pius soon after he came to power in July AD138.
		He evidently campaigned against several British tribes (possibly including factions of the northern Brigantes), certainly against the the lowland tribes of Scotland; the Votadini and the Selgovae of the Scottish Borders region, also the the Damnonii of Strathclyde and the Novantae of Dumfries and Galloway.
		From here he drove north-north-west into the Scottish Borders along the Agricolan military road Dere Street, leaving garrison forts at High Rochester in Northumberland and possibly also at Newstead in Borders, as he struck towards the Firth of Forth.

	Hadrian's Wall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In 122 AD the emperor Hadrian visited Britain, a province that had been under Roman control for nearly a century but one that continued to be a source of trouble for the new rulers.
		Various tribes in Scotland remained wholly unconquered, and even in the more southerly parts of Britain, Celtic groups such as the Selgovae and Brigantes kept up their resistance.
		With these two tribes in mind especially, Hadrian ordered a wall to be built, and much of its ancient course remains visible today.

	RE: Ancient wars that support Fomenko, a new variant
		Having already pacified the Votadini tribe, his sweep across the central lowlands was bloody and decisive.
		Under assault by two legions, the Selgovae tribe was decimated.
		On reaching the Forth/Clyde valleys, he secured his position with a turf wall between the rivers (This wall would be the foundation for the Antonine wall 60 years later).

		The Damnonii, Novantae, Selgovae and Votadini occupied, what would today be called, southern Scotland.
		Damnonii can also be spelled as Dumnonii, but there is no reason to suspect a connection between this tribe and the Dumnonii (17) of south-western Britain.
		The Selgovae (their name is thought to mean 'hunters') were possibly a part of the Votadini - a large federation of smaller tribal groups.

	Romans and Frontiers - The Purpose of Hadrian's Wall
		His biographer stated that the Britons could not be kept under control.
		Obviously the Trajanic Stanegate system was not efficient enough to keep the native tribes (Brigantes, Selgovae, Novantae) of that area under control.
		The new frontier, likely planned by Hadrian himself, was the first barrier that ran over approximately 80 miles from coast to coast.

	The Antonine Conquest
		In the Lowlands the fort distribution is basicly next to Agricolan sites with a focus on the two main roads leading north (Dere Street in the east and the western road Annandale-Clydesdale).
		The forts in the Lowlands were to control the native population, especially the Dumnonii and the Selgovae needed close supervision.
		The conquest of Lowland Scotland must have taken place between AD 139 and 142 since Antoninus Pius was claimed imperator for his victory in AD 142.

		The fourth of these southern tribes, the Selgovae, held the area between the Votadini (in the east) and the two western coast tribes.
		Since the Celtic tribes would not join arms, there was no British force capable of defeating the Romans.
		It is said that the Votadini and Damnonii tribes accepted Roman rule but the Selgovae and Novantae, who resisted, were crushed and forced to submit.

	Ancient British genealogies: The ROYAL HOUSE of GALLOWAY -- the lineage of Magnus Maximus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		On his arrival in Britain, Constantine was "raised to the kingship" by a council (whether clerical convocation, tribal chieftains, or Roman administrators is not specified) held at "Silchester".
		Given that the Breton/Wales genealogical connections are bogus (as I discuss later), any "Sil-" place-name must allude to the territory of the Selgovae, the tribe whose lands ran along the eastern border of the Novantae tribal lands.
		As I have stated, I believe that the headquarters of the DUX BRITANNIORUM was moved north into the Selgovae tribal lands, from which central location Magnus Maximus and his appointed successor would have been able to supervise their subordinates, the tribal praefectii who had been appointed by Theodosius.

	Historical Background - Melrose Town Trail
		The area around Melrose has been inhabited for thousands of years.
		When the Roman army arrived in AD79 or 80 they were met by a native tribe, possibly the Selgovae, who had their hillfort base on Eildon Hill North.
		Contrary to the traditional view, the Romans were probably met with a peaceful reception when dealing with this tribe.

		The Votadini lived in the eastern coastal regions and between the Tyne and the Clyde, the Novantae in the area of Galloway and Dumfriesshire, the south- west, while the Selgovae occupied the area between them.

		The inter-clan warfare would continue right up to the Roman invasion when, in 80 AD Agricola, the Roman governor of Britain, used the inter-clan rivalries to divide Scottish resistance into pro and anti Roman factions.
		It was at this most glorious stage in his military career, though, that Agricola finally met the only force that he had no strategy against: politics.
		The Novantae and the Damnonii lived in the southwest of Scotland while the Votadini and the Selgovae lived in the southeast.

		From coastal defence to jungle warfare, Arthur’s seventh victory was won in the Forest of Caledon.
		Nineteenth century Scottish historian W.F. Skene located the conflict in the Forest of Tweeddale around the upper reaches of the great river where the border lands of the Selgovae tribe (and the later notorious Border Rievers) begin to merge with Clydesdale and Annandale not far from Arthur’s Seat and Merlin’s Cave on Hart Fell.
		Others have suggested the Ettrick Forest set deeper south towards Hadrian’s Wall, but I would equate Caledon with Caledonia and the great forest of the same name lying to the north of the Forth/Clyde isthmus.

	The Celts - The History of Scotland
		At frequent intervals they built towers and mile castles, camps and forts all connected by one great rampart of stone, more than six metres high and three metres broad.
		The completed Hadrian’s Wall stretched over seventy miles from coast to coast, to keep out the Selgovae, the Novantae and the Caledonii.
		Sentries in the watchtowers would spot would-be invaders and alert the nearest soldiers who would resist the attack initially until signal towers could relay the alarm to bring reinforcements with all speed along the road which ran behind the wall.

	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
		Its idea of the period beyond that hinged on a vision of British disloyalty: "once upon a time" the British had slaughtered the representatives of the Romans but had then been subjected to a tremendous Roman punishment raid, after which the Romans had imposed their own duces upon the defeated people.
		Let us therefore assume that the “Britons” of the legend reflect, not the Romano-British of south Britain, but the tribal Celts of the north - Votadini, Dumnonii, Selgovae, Novantae.
		In 367AD the arcani/areani betrayed the Roman border to the Picts; whether or not the expedition of Theodosius the elder was intended mainly to destroy Valentinus, as I argued, this is a clear statement from Ammianus and must be true.
