Geto-Dacian

The Geto-Dacians were an ancient people of Thracian origin who inhabited the region around the lower Danube River and surrounding plains in Eastern Europe. They were closely related to the Thracians and were sometimes referred to as Getae by Greeks and Dacians by Romans.12

The Geto-Dacians were influenced by neighboring cultures, including the Scythians and Celts, adopting aspects of their beliefs and technologies. They were known for their agricultural and cattle-breeding practices, as well as mining. Under King Burebista in the 1st century BCE, the Geto-Dacians unified to form a significant regional power.12

Later, the Dacians, unified under Decebalus, engaged in conflicts with the Roman Empire. Emperor Trajan eventually conquered Dacia in the early 2nd century CE, establishing it as a Roman province. Roman control over Dacia lasted until the late 3rd century CE.13
