Beginning around 55 BC Burebista annexed the Greek cities on the coast of the Black Sea, occupying the Greek fortresses from [[Pontic Olbia|Olbia]] to [[Apollonia, Thrace|Apollonia]], as well as the Danubian plain all the way to the Balkans.{{sfn|Hitchins|2014|page=7}}{{sfn|Pippidi|1976|pages=116–117}}{{sfn|Mugnai|2016|page=4}} These conquered cities were: Olbia, [[Tyras]], [[Histria (ancient city)|Histria]], [[Tomis (ancient city)|Tomis]], [[Callatis]], [[Varna, Bulgaria|Odessos]], [[Messembria]], Apollonia, and [[Dionysupolis|Dionysopolis]].{{sfn|Mugnai|2016|page=4}} Dionysopolis, however, enjoyed good relations with Burebista.{{sfn|Pippidi|1976|pages=116–117}} An inscription dating to 48{{nbsp}}BC found in Dionysopolis and in honour of [[Akornion of Dionysopolis]] describes Akornion as the "first and greatest friend" of Burebista.{{sfn|Oltean|2007|page=47}} Akornion was sent as an ambassador to Pompey to claim the title of "king of kings" for Burebista to be used within the Hellenistic kingdoms of the Balkans and the Near East.{{sfn|Oltean|2007|page=47}}
Dacian rule over the [[Greek colonies]] on the Black Sea was generally one of subordination and control. Greeks living under Dacian rule submitted to their authority and paid tribute or taxes to maintain their autonomy in certain areas. However, the Dacians did not interfere much in the internal affairs of the Greek colonies, allowing them to continue their economic and cultural activities largely unchanged.
