The Timachi were a Thracian tribe in living by present-day Timok, Serbia, then part of Moesia Inferior (87 AD).
It[clarification needed] may have been an artificial creation by the Romans.
[1] In the 1st century before Claudius conquest of Thrace, Pliny the Elder lists them as one of the Moesian tribes alongside Dardanians, Celegeri, Triballi and Moesi.
[2][3] The territorial unit of the Timachi was small, limited to a single valley system around the Danube where each tributary was guarded by an auxiliary garrison supervised by praefecti.
[3] The Celegeri and Timachi were replaced with the Romanized tribes of Tricornenses and Picenses respectively.
