Dacia under Burebista

Burebista united the Geto-Dacian tribes from about 82 BC and briefly ruled from the middle Danube to the Black Sea, taking the Greek coastal towns of Dobruja; Strabo says the realm broke into four or five parts at his death in 44 BC. The western limit (the Danube bend in Pannonia, after his war with the Boii) and the northern limit in the Carpathian foothills are approximate; he also held overlordship south of the Danube and on the Pontic coast beyond Dobruja.
