 Ancient History Sourcebook: Justin (3rd Cent CE): The Beginning of Philip of Macedon's Reign, c. 359-352 BCE
Philip II of Macedon (reigned 359 to 336 B.C.) took a faction-rent, semi-civilized country of quarrelsome landed nobles and boorish peasants, and made it into an invincible military power.
Alexander II [King of Macedon] at the very beginning of his reign purchased peace from the Illyrians [the peoples north and west of Macedon] with a sum of money, giving his brother Philip as a hostage.
Not long afterward Alexander perished by a plot of his mother Eurydice, whom Amyntas [her husband]---when she was once convicted of a conspiracy against him---had spared for the sake of their children, little imagining that one day she would be their destroyer.

In 180 BC Kotys II became King of the Odrysae and allied with Perseas against the Romans, assisting his army in the battle of Pydna (168 BC).
Thrace remained divided, its heirs being Roimetalkes II and the sons of Kotys V. Another revolt of the Thracians against Roimetalkes II was quashed by the Romans.
According to Florus [Florus II, XXVII], after one of these rebellions had been crushed, "[the Thracians] showed their mad rage even in captivity; for they punished their own savagery by trying to bite through their fetters." It is most likely here that the history of Thracians and Dachians diverges most.
