In ancient geography, especially in Roman sources, Dacia () was the land inhabited by the Dacians. The Greeks referred to them as the Getae, which were specifically a branch of the Thracians north of the Haemus Mons (the Balkan Mountains). Dacia was bounded in the south approximately by the Danubius river (Danube), in Greek sources the ''Istros'', or at its greatest extent, by the Haemus Mons. Moesia (Dobrogea), a region south of the Danube, was a core area where the Getae lived and interacted with the Ancient Greeks. In the east it was bounded by the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea) and the river ''Danastris'' (Dniester), in Greek sources the ''Tyras''. But several Dacian settlements are recorded between the rivers Dniester and ''Hypanis'' (Southern Bug), and the Tisia (Tisza) to the west. At times Dacia included areas between the Tisa and the Middle Danube. The Carpathian Mountains were located in the middle of Dacia. It thus corresponds to the present day countries of Romania and Moldova, as well as smaller parts of Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, and Ukraine. Dacians (or Getae) were North Thracian tribes.〔(Dacian, North Thracian Language )〕 Dacian tribes had both peaceful and military encounters with other neighboring tribes, such as Sarmatians, Scythians, and Celts. A Dacian Kingdom of variable size existed between 82 BC until the Roman conquest in AD 106. The capital of Dacia, Sarmizegetusa, located in modern Romania, was destroyed by the Romans, but its name was added to that of the new city (''Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa'') built by the latter to serve as the capital of the Roman province of Dacia. == Nomenclature == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dacia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
