'''Burebista''' ({{lang-grc|Βυρεβίστας, Βοιρεβίστας}}) was the king of the [[Getae]] and [[Dacians|Dacian]] tribes from 82/61{{nbsp}}BC to 45/44{{nbsp}}BC. He was
From 61 BC onwards Burebista pursued a series of conquests that expanded the Dacian kingdom. The tribes of the [[Boii]] and [[Taurisci]] were destroyed early in his campaigns, followed by the conquest of the [[Bastarnae]] and probably the [[Scordisci]] peoples. He led raids throughout Thrace, Macedonia, and Illyria. From 55{{nbsp}}BC the [[Greek colonies in Dacia|Greek cities on the west coast of the Black Sea]] were conquered one after another. These campaigns inevitably culminated in conflict with Rome in 48{{nbsp}}BC, at which point Burebista gave his support to [[Pompey]]. This in turn made him an enemy to [[Julius Caesar|Caesar]], who decided to start a campaign against Dacia. This plan fell through in 44{{nbsp}}BC when Caesar was assassinated. Burebista himself was assassinated in a plot by the Dacian aristocracy at around the same time.
