Zorsines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zorsines (Serbian Cyrillic: Зорсинес) was a King of the Siraces mentioned in Tacitus' Annals of the Roman Empire (XII.15-19) around 50 AD, a people he reports as residing somewhere between the Black and the Caspian Seas.

It is thought^{[weasel words]} that Siraci was a twisted version of the name of the Serboi, one of the Sarmatian tribes inhabitting the Kuban peninsula on the Black Sea to the north of the Caucasus Mountains, who are thought by some to be predecessors of modern-day Slavic Serbs and Sorbs.^{[citation needed]}
