Scordisci (Celtic tribe)

Years: 350BCE - 100

The Scordisci are an Iron Age tribe centered in the territory of present-day Serbia, at the confluence of the Savus (Sava), Dravus (Drava) and Danube rivers.

They are historically notable from the beginning of the third century BC until the turn of the common era.

At their zenith, their influence stretches over regions comprising parts of the present-day Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Their tribal name may be connected to the name of the Scordus mountain (Šar mountain) which is located between the regions of Illyria and Paionia.

In the last centuries of the classical ages, the land of the Scordisci is constituted as the tribal state of the Scordisci.

After Roman conquest in the 1st century CE, Scordisci territories are included into the Roman Provinces of Pannonia, Moesia and Dacia.
