I would like to know what the ancient writers referred to by the terminology ending in ae.
example
Bastanae
Sarmatae
venedae
vandalae
keltae etc etc
I think like the term Sarmatae was used to bracket certain tribes with similar cultures together, because they did not know all the tribes or ...something else..........The Sarmatae as history shows comprised of at least 4 tribes, the Iazyges, the Roxolani, the Aorsi and the Siraces.
The term also reflects geographical areas, like the Carpathian mountains was initially Montes Bastanae, then became Montes Sarmatae
Any ideas or links would be helpful to me.
