Britannia was the initial name given to island of Great Britain by the Roman Empire. From that period it has become an outline of national characterization of the United Kingdom.
At the peak of Roman Britain, the Empire comprised of most of Britannia, which was bounded by Hadrian's Wall, which in present day is near the England and Scotland border. To the Romans, the northern section of Britain which stayed unincorporated into the kingdom was called as Caledonia.
The southern section which is currently is known as Scotland, was engaged by Romans towards the end of the Roman ruling period. The Romans could never completely capture the island of Great Britain. People who resided in the areas of Britannia were referred to as Britanni. Ireland was a detached area which the Romans could never capture.
