	Scordisci - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scordisci were, in ancient geography, a war-like tribe inhabiting the southern part of lower Pannonia, comprising parts of the present-day countries Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, between the Savus (Sava), Dravus (Drava) and Danube rivers.
		Scordisci started progressing towards Pannonia, settling at the point where Moesia and Balkans end, at the confluence of two rivers, Sava and Danube, where they erected fortresses in Singidunum and Taurunum, founding today's city of Belgrade.
		The Scordisci later became subject to the Dacians.

	Singidunum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Singidunum was an ancient Roman city, first settled by the Scordisci in the 3rd century B.C., and later garrisoned and fortified by the Romans who romanized the name.
		Known today as Beograd (Belgrade), the capital city of Serbia, the city is one of the oldest in Europe.
		The first evidence of primitive fortification came later in the 3rd century BC, with the settlement of the Celtic or Thraco-Celtic tribe, the Scordisci, who picked the strategic hilltop at the meeting of the two rivers as the basis for their habitation.

	2. THE DACIAN KINGDOM (András Mócsy)
		Early sources identify the Scordisci as Rome's sole or principal enemy in the Balkans; the Dardani were seldom mentioned, and then only as one of the Thracian tribes allied with the Scordisci against Rome.
		The Scordisci were predominant in the Sava valley, and they kept the Pannonic tribes, who lived between the Sava and the Drava rivers, in subjection until ca.
		In the event, the only tangible evidence of this conquest is that the Scordisci, defeated by Burebista, became his allies in subsequent campaigns, and that the Dacians established a lasting presence south of the Danube, in the northern part of today's Serbia.

		This could be explained by the several tribes that inhabited Pannonia like the Breuci and the Scordisci.

		The ancient writers refer to the Scordisci as a bloodthirsty people engaging in human sacrifice and drinking out of human skulls.
