In 182 BC, the major kingdoms from the vicinity of the Pontus Euxin, and several state-owned cities on its shores, were trained in a regional war. The conflict also affected the Getae, but we do not know how. The fact that during the same period King Philip II of Macedonia made an expedition in the area of the Haemus Mountains (at that time the southern border of the Getae) can be a clue.
