Simple question; Did the romans come in any contact with slavic or finno-ugric tribes? Or did they just fuck around with gauls and celts?

They most likely knew of their existence but they generally just lumped all barbarians together as Gauls, Celts or Germans
Robert Miller
>Romanians are not slavs
Yeah, we get it, your Romans...
Wyatt Hughes
W-wat? :c
Justin Watson
Jaxson Cruz
Probably not. Greeks definitely had some contact with both though since they had colonies in Ukraine.
Jose Lewis
>Gauls and Celts
Gauls are Celts. And I guess they sorta of did if you mean various different ethnic groups that are barbarians in the literal sense.
>various Celtic tribes in mainland Europe and British Isles
>Hunnics
>Germanics
Daniel Brooks
There were no slavs in Dacia or the Balkans by that time.

According to linguists the Proto-Balto-Slavic language didn't split into Baltic and Slavic before the 5th century, so the ethnogenesis of the Slavs happened at the same time the Western Roman empire fell.
By the next century they were well known though. Especially by Eastern Rome.
Ryan Miller
Gauls were Celts
Brody Morris
Post the one on the Sassanids.
Leo Evans
They wrote about them atleast. There is the obvious Fenni but also Budini, who may have been a Finno-Ugric tribe
Brody Rivera
The slavic migrations happened 6 centuries later.
Justin Jenkins
The Romans and Slavic peoples met in the 5th/6th centuries.
Eli Bailey
They were aware of them. but since Germanic tribes were in the way of meaningful contact it never came to fruition

They knew them, but they didnt conquered them
Brody Parker
This speaking about the old Roman Empire.
The Eastern Roman Empire had slavs nominally under their power
Christian Torres
Fenni were probably the Sami people

Wrong.
Already by in 2nd century there were two Baltic tribes mentioned living. In Kaliningrad/Northern Poland.

And you could have at least read wikipedia language page on Balto-Slavic languages which say they split 1400BC.

They definitely had contact with the baltic peoples, Archaeologists know this because of the presence of baltic amber in ancient roman jewelry, even back to Rome's earliest days. Pytheas had a book lost to history about the Baltic area and it's people. All surviving documents referring to Pytheas has him calling the people there teutons and other latin names for german tribes, however greeks/romans were pretty shit anthropologists by modern standards so who knows what tribes they encountered.
Ryder Morales
They've bought amber from the Balto-Slavic tribes of yore.
Colton Gutierrez
Isn't Russia considered the 3rd Roman Empire?
It was also mentioned that this would be the last empire. (last Roman Empire?)
I guess it makes sense... religion and symbolism
Evan Murphy
Russians are as much a "Third" Rome as the Ottomans were themselves.
Chase Gutierrez
If you ever see the names Gray and Atkinson you should immediately disregard everything it says
Benjamin Kelly
No it isn't that's just insulting to Rome
Luis Long
Wow BTFO by science. Also that Slavic languages specialist is a qt.
