Â tribes

The ancient writers refer to the Scordisci as a bloodthirsty people engaging in human sacrifice and drinking out of human skulls.
This could be explained by the several tribes that inhabited Pannonia like the Breuci and the Scordisci.
The lack of central authority implies that these tribes were independent of each other and not bound to a dominant tribe, which would leave Pannonia as only a place name, nonetheless, those who did occupy this region were called Pannonians.

Under Burebista (Boerebista), a contemporary of Julius Caesar, who thoroughly reorganized the army and raised the moral standard of the people, the limits of the kingdom were extended to their maximum.
Conflicts with the Bastarnae and the Romans ( 112 BC - 109 BC, 74 BC), against whom they had assisted the Scordisci and Dardani, had greatly weakened the resources of the Dacians.

Â Eutropius: Abridgement of Roman History, Book 4

It was before the chariot of Marius, however, that Jugurtha, with his two sons, was led in chains; and he was soon after, by order of the consul, strangled in prison.
He defeated Jugurtha in various battles, killed or captured his elephants, and obliged many of his towns to surrender; and, when on the point of putting an end to the war, was succeeded by Caius Marius.
In the six hundred and thirty-fifth year from the building of the city, the consul Caius Cato made war upon the Scordisci, and fought with them to his dishonour.

Many tales are told about the savagery of their divinatory rites, that to their own gods they sometimes made sacrifices of prisoners, that [6] they were accustomed to drink human blood in skulls.
The Scordisci, equally cruel and cunning, also used to dwell in the environs of Thrace.

Â Celtic Tribes

After the migration into Greece had failed, many thousands of Celts poured back into central Europe to find land to settle.
One group, the Scordisci, led by Bathanatos, settled between the rivers Drava and Sava with an oppidum on the site of modern Beograd.
They were a powerful force in the subsequent settlement in the rest of Transdanubia.

Â Livy's History of Rome

The senate did not clear him from the charges brought against him, nor did they press them; they only ordered a warning to be given him that he must be very careful to hold sacred the treaty which he could regard as existing between him and Rome.
When the Dardani found that the Bastarnae were not evacuating their territory as they had hoped, but were becoming every day more aggressive and were receiving assistance from their Thracian neighbours and from the Scordisci, they thought that they ought to attempt some active measures, however hazardous.
The whole of their armed force assembled at a town near the camp of the Bastarnae.

Â Pannonia - Province of the Roman Empire

The Scordisci, Breucis, Carni and Dardanians were early enemies of Roman expansion, but later would play an important role in defending the territory from Germanic incursions.
A hard fought war with the Dardanians, lasting 3 years, enabled Gaiuss Scribonius Curio to be the first Roman general along with his Legion to see the Danube in 73 BC.
From the 4th century BCE it was invaded by various Celtic tribes, the largest of whom were the Carni, Scordisci and Taurisci.

Onomaris led her people, the Scordisci, in their wanderings through southeastern Europe and ultimately led them into battle against the Illyrians of the Balkans (Ellis, Celtic Women, p.80).

In the third century B.C. the Celtic Tribe Scordisci founded the City of Singidunum.
The excellent geographical position – Belgrade is situated at the confluence of two big rivers and at the cross-roads between North and South, East and West – attracted many nations, who came here to make their settlements in the region of Belgrade, and many conquerors to conquer it.
The Romans took it by the beginning of the first century A.D. and stayed in it during four centuries.
