OR a Thracian region with some Daco-Getae penetrations .
In 11-12 AD, roman general Sextus Aelius Catus [as governor of Macedonia? He
was consul in 4 AD with C./Gaius Sentius Saturninus] displaced from N of
Danube 50.000 people/Getae [see Strabo, Geography, VII, 3, 10] <<a tribe
with the same tongue as the Thracians [see 7. 3. 2: <<Now the Greeks used to
suppose that the Getae -ie Daco-Getae- were Thracians; and the Getae lived
on either side the Ister, as did also the Mysi, these also being Thracians
and identical with the people who are now called Moesi>>. & also 7.5.1]. And
they live there in Thrace [ie lower Moesia] now and are called "Moesi">>
The action was repeated under Nero, between 62-66 AD, when 100.000 people
[ie Daco-Getae; with their wife's, children, kings] were displaced by
general Tiberius Plautius Silvanus Aelius.
