The name Attacotti (also Atecotti, A(t)ticotti, Ategutti) appears in several late Roman texts. The historian Ammianus Marcellinus includes this ‘warlike race of men’ (bellicosa hominum natio) in a list of peoples disturbing Roman Britain c.364-7, including the Scots, Picts and Saxons. Ammianus' contemporary St. Jerome (writing c.393-7) claims that in his youth he personally saw some Attacotti in Gaul. Jerome highlights the promiscuous marriage customs and savage cannibalism of this ‘British people’ (gens Britannica), apparently identifying Attacotti with classical reports of polyandry practised by the ancient Britons and of cannibalism among the peoples of Ireland. If there is any truth to Jerome’s rhetorical allusion, he probably saw Attacotti already in Roman service, presumably during his stay at the western capital Trier (c.365-70). Certainly by c.395 some Attacotti had been recruited into the Roman Army and the Notitia Dignitatum lists three regiments bearing this title stationed in Gaul, Italy and Illyricum, though it is doubtful that these units remained ethnically distinct. Hostile Attacotti are not recorded after c.367. ...more on Wikipedia about "Attacotti"
