Summary/Abstract: Archaeological discoveries between the Balkans, Carpathians, Black Sea and Dniestr, be they chance findings or systematic research, reveal a number of vestiges with similarities that, corroborated with written sources, can be attributed to the Getae. A set of decorative works that show an ideology characteristic of the Getae confirm the existence of specific features that the Getae have but the rest of the Thracian peoples do not, as mentioned in written sources (Herodotus IV, 93-94).
