    Default Re: Romans In Denmark.

    Herodotus describes the Thracians as the second most populous people behind India, which is no small thing, so I think there could easily be a connection to the mysterious and influencial people (they formed a good deal of Greek culture- Dionysus... besides close ties to the Dacians). The placement of the Thracians in Europe as Indo-Europeans sheds interesting light into their ethnogenisis / migration as well. The amount we do not know about both barbarian peoples, Cimmeri and Thracians makes it almost impossible to prove, but possible Indo-European, and more definite steppe-based ties make it an interesting attempt.
