Everything about Maeatae totally explained
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. The historical sources are vague as to which frontier they inhabited.
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.
In 210 AD they began a serious revolt against the
Roman Empire.
