An ancient Baltic tribe mentioned by Roman historians as living near the Baltic Sea.
From Latin Aestii, possibly meaning 'burning' or related to 'east,' referring to the direction where these peoples lived. Known from classical Roman and Greek sources.
The Aestii fascinatingly preserved amber—a substance the Roman empire desperately wanted—and controlled the amber trade routes, making them wealthy and influential despite living in the remote Baltic region.
