Rhemaxos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhemaxos was an ancient king who ruled to the north of Danube around 200 BC and who was the protector of the Greek colonies in Dobruja, receiving a tribute from them in exchange of protection against outside attacks. It appears that the links with the Greek cities lasted a rather long period of time, as several treaties have been found.
His origin is still unknown. Most historians have suggested that he was the chieftain of a Dacian tribe union on the Romanian Plain, although there are other possibilities, such as his having been a Scythian or even a Celt from Bessarabia.
