Critasirus

Critasiros (
historians
suggest that this dissatisfaction led to revolts against the Dacians by the Celtic tribes. However, the Dacian military intervened to suppress these revolts and maintain control over the territory. This episode underscores the complex interactions and power dynamics between the Dacians and Celtic tribes during this period of ancient history.
Some historians suggest that Critasirus died in a battle against Dacians or he migrated with the Boii who decided to move west through Noricum to settle with the Helvetii tribe in modern-day Switzerland. On the way they besieged Noreia, the capital of Noricum, but were repulsed by the Noricans. Voccio, the ruler of Noricum, then allied himself with the politically rising Roman proconsul Julius Caesar, who in turn intended to subdue all of Gaul, and defeated the Helvetii and their allies in 58 BC in the battle of Bibracte.[2][3]
