The Eurasian Avars arrive in the region…

568 CE to 579 CE

The Eurasian Avars arrive in the region of what is now Romania in the sixth century along with a steady inflow of Slavic peasants.

The Germanic Gepidae, hegemons of the region from 454, have had little impact on the Daco-Roman population, but the Avars' defeat of the Gepidae in 567 has opened the way for a massive advance of Slavs into Dacia.

Unlike other tribes, the Slavs settle the land and intermarry with the Dacians.
