BASTARNAE , the easternmost See also:people of the Germanic See also:race, the first to come into contact with the See also:ancient See also:world and the Slays. Originally settled` in See also:Galicia and the See also:Bukovina, they appeared on the See also:lower See also:Danube about 200 B.C., and were used by See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

Philip V. of Macedon against his Thracian neighbours. Defeated by these the Bastamae returned See also:north, leaving some of their number (hence called Peucini) settled on Peuce, an See also:island in the Danube. Their See also:main See also:body occupied the See also:country between the eastern Carpathians and the Danube.

time of See also:Augustus defeated them, and made a See also:peace, which was disturbed by a See also:series of incursions. In these the Bastarnae after a time gave See also:place to the Goths, with whom they seem to have amalgamated, and we last hear of them as transferred by the See also:emperor See also:Probus to the right See also:bank of the Danube. See also:Polybius and the authors who copy him regard the Bastarnae as Galatae; See also:Strabo, having learned of the Romans to distinguish Celts and Germans, first allows a See also:German See also:element; See also:Tacitus expressly declares their German origin' but says that the race was degraded by inter-See also:marriage with Sarmatians.
