Years: 335BCE - 335BCE
Alexander advances into Thrace in spring 335 and, after forcing the Shipka Pass, drives the Triballi to the junction of the Lyginus with the Danube.
Their king Syrmus takes refuge in Peuce (Peukë, an island in the Danube), where Alexander is unable to follow him, and instead crosses the Danube to disperse the Getae.
The punishment inflicted by Alexander upon the Getae, however, induces the Triballi to sue for peace.
