Easy now! I was wondering why Jordanes think Burebista attacks the
Germans,

whereas Strabo thinks he attacked the Taurisci.

I know of course that they were outside the Germanic world then.
I see that the Taurisci is supposed to have vanished to the east
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurisci
but no source is given.
What are the archaeological alternatives for a past for the Przeworsk
who arrive in Thuringia and the Wetterau in the 1st cent. BCE?
