Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Ron Andrea]

I missed the connection between the Picts and Britons, other than occupying the same island. I was under the impression that the Picts were a distinctive people (as much as any tribal group could be different from its neighbors) distinguished from both the Briton tribes to their south, who became Romanized under the Empire, and the Dalriada Scots, who began to invade/settle/whatever to their west about AD 600. Is that not true?

Horses widespread in Britain before the Roman invasions (pulling chariots, if nothing else), weren't they?
