Dacian names

Decebalus (; ), sometimes referred to as Diurpaneus, was the last Dacian king. He is known for fighting three wars, with varying success, against the Roman Empire under two emperors. After raiding south across the Danube, he defeated a Roman invasion in the reign of Domitian, securing a period of independence during which Decebalus consolidated his rule.

Scorilo (died maybe 70) was a Dacian king who may have been the father of Decebalus. Evidence for his life and reign is fragmentary.

Cotiso, Cotish or Cotison (flourished c. 30 BC) was a Dacian or Getic king who apparently ruled the mountains between Banat and Oltenia (modern-day Romania). Horace and Florus call him a Dacian; Suetonius calls him king of the Getae. Florus wrote in his account of Roman history that Cotiso and his armies used to attack towards south when the Danube froze.
