Page "Bastarnae" Paragraph 26
from
Wikipedia
The presence of Roman forces in the Danube delta was seen as a major threat by all the neighbouring transdanubian peoples: the Peucini Bastarnae, the Sarmatians and, most importantly, by Burebista ( ruled 82-44 BC ), king of the Getae.
The Getae occupied the region today called Wallachia as well as Scythia Minor and were either a Dacian-or Thracian-speaking people.
Burebista had unified the Getan tribes into a single kingdom, for which the Greek cities were vital trade outlets.
Burebista led his transdanubian coalition in a struggle against Roman encroachment, conducting many raids against Roman allies in Moesia and Thrace, penetrating as far as Macedonia and Illyria.
