The Goths' advance towards the area north of the Black Sea involved competing with the indigenous population of Dacian-speaking Carpi, as well as indigenous Iranian-speaking Sarmatians and Roman garrison forces.

Map of Roman Dacia between 106 and 271, including the areas with Free Dacians, Carpi and Costoboci. The Free Dacians (Romanian: Dacii liberi) is the name given by some modern historians to those Dacians [1] who remained outside, or emigrated from, the Roman Empire after the emperor Trajan's Dacian Wars (AD 101-6). Dio Cassius named them Dakoi ...
The Roman province of Dacia occupied present-day Transylvania, Banat, and Oltenia. The Romans built forts to protect themselves from attacks by Roxolani, Alans, Carpi and free Dacians (from parts of Banat and Wallachia), as well as three new major military roads to join the main cities

This is a list of ancient tribes in Thrace and Dacia (Ancient Greek: Θρᾴκη, Δακία) including possibly or partly Thracian or Dacian tribes, and non-Thracian or non-Dacian tribes that inhabited the lands known as Thrace and Dacia.
The first written mention of the name "Dacians" is in Roman sources. Strabo specified that the Daci are the Getae, identified as a Thracian tribe. The Dacians, Getae and their kings were always considered as Thracians by the ancients (Dio Cassius, Trogus Pompeius, Appian, Strabo, Herodotus and Pliny the Elder) and were said to speak the same ...
