That would have been the home of the Dacian's back in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century, and they were a continual problem for the empire. Once the 3rd century rolled around they could no longer punish them for incursions into Italy and tried buying them off. They were a fierce people, and much stronger than when Emporer Trajan invaded and defeated them over a 100 years earlier.

They migrated from Macedonia and where Alexander the Great was born.

• Greatest Celtic expansion by 275 BC
• Lusitanian area of Iberia where Celtic presence is uncertain
• Areas in which Celtic languages were spoken throughout the Middle Ages
