Pict
/pɪkt/noun
- a member of an ancient people inhabiting northern Scotland in Roman times(古罗马时代居住在苏格兰北部的)皮可特人。
Roman writings of around 300 AD apply the term Picti to the hostile tribes of the area north of the Antonine Wall. Their origins are uncertain, but they may have been a loose confederation of Celtic tribes.
