An alternative or Latin plural form of Goths, specifically referring to the Getae (sometimes spelled Goetae), a Thracian tribe of ancient Europe.
From Latin 'Goetae,' which itself comes from Greek references to the Getae, a people inhabiting what is now Romania and Bulgaria. The term may relate to ancient tribal names. 'Goetae' is primarily a historical and scholarly term used when discussing ancient European history and archaeology.
The Getae (Goetae) were so impressive that even ancient Greek and Roman writers respected them—Herodotus wrote about them, and they held off Rome for centuries, yet history barely remembers them!
