The Getae (/ˈt, ˈɡt/ JEE-tee, GHEE-tee) or Gets (/ɛts, ɡɛts/ JETS, GHETS; Ancient Greek: Γέται, singular Γέτης) were a Thracian-related[1] tribe that once inhabited the regions to either side of the Lower Danube, in what is today northern Bulgaria and southern Romania. Although it is believed that the Getae were related to their westward neighbours, the Dacians, several scholars[who?], especially in the Romanian historiography, posit that the Getae and the Dacians were the same people.
