Getae
(redirected from Getic)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.09 sec.

Getae

Ancient people of Thrace. They occupied the right bank of the Danube near its mouth, but moved north of the river about 340 BC.

Alexander the Great, before his expedition to Asia, invaded their new territory unopposed; but they defeated two other Macedonian armies (326 and 292). They were defeated by the Gauls about 278 BC and from this time they were known as the Daci.

The Getae believed that the human soul is immortal.
