Where does the name “Getica” come from?
The Getae (also known as the Dacians) were the most important of the Thracian family of peoples. The Thracians were one of the oldest European civilizations; at the peak of their power, they occupied over half the Europe and some territories in the Middle East. The name “Getica” is meant to represent “the saga of the Getae”, just as the “Odyssey” means “the saga of Odysseus”.
