The Picts are an often overlooked people. Aside from Senua's Sacrifice, I can't think of a single piece of media dedicated to them.

- irthomasthomas 5y agoThere was an episode of In Our Time on the Picts. Unusually, this one was recorded in front of a live audience, and featured a Q&A. When the question came up, "what actually happened to them at the end?" The reply was "Nothing. Except writers changed from calling them Picts to calling them Scots." https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09cvx7b https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09cvx7b

- tempodox 5y agoWhile not exactly dedicated to the Picts, the 2010 movie Centurion [1] at least involves them. It tells the story from a Roman perspective, at a time when Hadrian‘s Wall was about to be abandoned because the Romans couldn‘t take it any longer and gave up in frustration.

- INTPenis 5y agoWhenever another longer lasting civ writes a lot of negative things about another dead civ I get more interested in the dead civ. Another great example of this is the Phonecians, or Carthage. They likely had trade outposts in Cornwall generations before the Romans over extended themselves.
