Argentocoxos

Argentocoxos was a Caledonian chief in the early 3rd century. He is known from the Historia Romana of Cassius Dio, who gives an account of the campaigns of Septimius Severus in that region. His name means "silver leg" and is evidence that the Picts spoke a Celtic language.

After treaty negotiations in the year 210, his wife spoke with the Empress, Julia Augusta, about Caledonian and Roman society. Dio presents the account with a traditional topos, contrasting the vigorous virtue of barbarian life with Roman decadence
