What is "thunatae"

Thunatae ( Ancient Greek: Θουνάται) was a Romanized Thraco-Illyrian tribe of Dardania alongside the Galabri. The Thracian Maedi tribe borders the Thunatae eastwards.

In AD 6, the Dardani were conquered by Rome and became part of the province of Moesia Superior (corresponding to present-day Serbia, northern fringes of Macedonia and northern Bulgaria). According to Strabo, the Dardani were not part of Illyria, and they were divided into two sub-groups, the Galabri and the Thunaki.
