Dacians
The Dacians (
Lat.
Daci,
Gr.
Dákai) were the ancient inhabitants of
Dacia
(roughly corresponding to modern
Romania
and
Moldova
) and parts of
Moesia
(mostly in northern
Bulgaria
) in southeastern
Europe
. They spoke the
Dacian language
, closely related with
Thracian
and
Albanian
. The first mention of them is in
Roman
sources, but classical authors are unanimous in considering the Dacians a branch of the
Getae
, a
Thracian
people known from
Greek
writings.
Strabo
specified that the Daci are the Getae who lived in the area towards the
Pannonian plain
(
Transylvania
), while the Getae proper gravitated towards the Black Sea coast (
Scythia Minor
).
