Summary/Abstract: According to Strabo, after the plot against the Getic king Burebista and his assassination, the kingdom was divided between the conspirators into four, later on, five parts (Str. 7. 3. 11). The study is focused on the disputes concerning the different identifications and ethnic belonging of some dynasts, who were assumed as Burebista’s successors or the dating of their rule over separate military and political formations that had emerged immediately after Burebista’s death. The text also provides a brief overview of the different approaches in discussions about the localization and the territorial limits of the 4 parts, mentioned by Strabo. The aim is not to give categorical answers, but rather to substantiate the need for presenting the problems in a more flexible variant.
