The Vacomagi were a people of ancient Britain, known only from a single mention of them by the geographer Claudius Ptolemy (AD c.100–c.170).[lower-alpha 1] Their principal places are known from Ptolemy's map c.150 of Albion island of Britannia – from the First Map of Europe.[1][Web 1]
The Vacomagi were a confederacy of smaller tribes, each one a separate polity with its own hierarchy of leaders. According to the data collected by Ptolemy,[lower-alpha 2] the Vacomagi were spread over a wide area between the Moray Firth and the Firth of Forth; to the east of the Cairngorms and north of the Clyde–Forth isthmus.[lower-alpha 3]
