Dentheletae
The Dentheletae ((ギリシア語:Δενθελῆται)) were a Thracian tribe that in antiquity lived near the sources of the River Strymon,〔http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0064%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DD%3Aentry+group%3D3%3Aentry%3Ddentheletae-geo〕 and are mentioned in texts by Polybius, Cassius Dio, Tacitus and by Livy. They may have dwelled in the area of Sofia in towns such as Pautalia,〔Fanula Papazoglu, ''The central Balkan tribes in pre-Roman times'' (1978), pp101〕 with their territories bordering the Agrianes and Maedi. Their main city, called Dentheletica, was presumably Pautalia (modern-day Kyustendil), and they possibly built fortifications around Stara Planina in the 1st century BC.
Livy mentions them in passing in his account of King Philip V of Macedon, who in 214BC plundered them for supplies even though they were his ally.〔''Ab Urbe Condita'', Book XL, pp22, Livy〕
Circa 30BC, when under their king 'Sitas, who was blind',〔''Historia Romana'', Book LI, pp23, Cassius Dio〕 and whilst under treaty with Rome, their territories were invaded by the Bastarnae. In response to this invasion and with the wider objective of securing the Macedonia/Thrace frontier of the Roman Empire, Consul Marcus Licinus Crassus Dives (grandson of Crassus the triumvir) earned a triumph 〔''The Legions of Rome'', Stephen Dando-Collins, pp216, Quercus (December 2010)〕 for his attack on the Bastarnae in defense of the Denteleti in 28-29BC with Legio IIII ''Scythica'', Legio V ''Macedonica'' and possibly Legio X ''Fretensis''.〔''The Legions of Rome'', Stephen Dando-Collins, pp212-6, Quercus (December 2010)〕
Raids in Dardania 16-13BC marked the end of the Denteleti.
