I randomly find this book on the net, and have some interesting (and realistic i may say) theory abouth Getae(Dacians) and Goths.

I know this was already discussed a lot on this topic, but is interesting what the author said, that all ancient authors either named the Goths Getae, either consider them as the same with Getae, and was just someone called Cluverius (never heard off, i think was someone from XVII century) who come first with idea that Goths are Germanic, but (according with the author) was an unsubstantiated theory of him
