High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Carpi or Carpiani were an ancient people that resided, between not later than ca. AD 140 and until at least ca. AD 300, in the former Principality of Moldavia (modern eastern Romania). It is possible that the Carpi did not enter the Dacian region until (and maybe as a consequence of) the Dacian Wars (101-106), as they are not mentioned in the classical sources until the mid 2nd century. The ethno-linguistic affiliation of the Carpi is uncertain. The group is first mentioned by ancient sources in the period following the Roman annexation of Dacia. After 150 years of obscurity, the Carpi emerged in ca. 240 as among Rome's most dangerous enemies. In the period 240-70, the Carpi were an important component of a loose coalition of Transdanubian barbarian tribes that included also Germanic and Sarmatian elements. These were responsible for a series of large and devastating invasions of the Balkan regions of the empire which nearly caused its disintegration, but were ultimately repulsed.
