The Romans were not afraid of the Picks they just had no use for the northern part of England. The climate was too cold to grow wheat and grapes their cash crop. The wall built by Hadrian was to allow the Romans to kill the enemy with their ballistas and artillery . The Picts had no Ballistas to fight with and a small group of professional legionary could destroy large groups of warriors without suffering large losses in manpower. The PICTS were not the greatest at war anyway. The Celts were the real problem the Celts CAME over from Ireland and concurred the Picts . Scotland is a Celtic country by conquest . Rome never took Ireland into their empire they beat the Celts in Gaul but never could destroy all Celtic Civilization
