Abstract
This study aims to analyse the finds that can be connected to what we defined as being the first stage of Sarmatian diffusion in Wallachia. The purpose is not to insist on the date of the arrival, which was debated on several occasions, for it would mean to contradict ourselves and restart a possibly endless argument on dating funerary features. Instead, the purpose is to detail, as far as the funerary finds allow us to do so, the image of the Sarmatian communities that the Romans allowed to settle close to the limes of Moesia Inferior.
