Quote:Weren't the 'Dacians' a conglomeration of different tribes anyway? Are we inappropriately pigeon-holing?Yes, they was a conglomeration of diferent tribes ( finaly united in kingdooms ), but all of them beeing considered as nort thracians. However, they use in daco-roman wars allied troops, in a way kind similar with roman auxiliar troops, like roxolan sarmatians as heavy cavalry ( similar in way with later cataphractari ) or bastarnae, all of this beeing incorporated in their army as auxiliars. But they was not considered dacians
