From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dacian tribes.

The Scaugdae were an ancient people living between the Haemus Mountains and the Danube river.

History

They are known from only one passage from Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, where he mentions them alongside the Aedi and Clariae as the neighbours of the Getae.[1]

According to the scholar Georgi Mihailov, the Scaugdae were a Getic tribe.[2]
