The
Getae or or
Gets (, singular ; ; ) are names given to several
Thracian tribes inhabiting the regions to either side of the
Lower Danube, in what is today northern
Bulgaria and southern
Romania. Both the singular form
Get and Getae may be derived from a Greek
exonym: the area was the hinterland of Greek colonies on the
Black Sea coast, bringing the Getae into contact with the
Ancient Greeks from an early date.
