[1] It concerns the armed conflicts of the Dacian tribes and their kingdoms in the Balkans.
The Dacia of King Burebista (82–44 BC) stretched from the Black Sea to the river Tisza. [7] During that period, the Getae and Dacians conquered a wider territory and Dacia extended from the Middle Danube to the Black Sea littoral (between Apollonia and Pontic Olbia) and from the Northern Carpathians to the Balkan Mountains.
