The Timachi were a Thracian tribe in living by present-day Timok, Serbia, then part of Moesia Inferior (87 AD). It[ clarification needed] may have been an artificial creation by the Romans. [1] In the 1st century before Claudius conquest of Thrace, Pliny the Elder lists them as one of the Moesian tribes alongside Dardanians, Celegeri, Triballi and Moesi. [2] [3]
The territorial unit of the Timachi was small, limited to a single valley system around the Danube where each tributary was guarded by an auxiliary garrison supervised by praefecti. [1]
They have received or given their name to the Timok region (TIMACUS). [3]
The Celegeri and Timachi were replaced with the Romanized tribes of Tricornenses and Picenses respectively. [2] The Picenses of Pincum ( Gradište) "replaced" the Timachi. [3]
