Dacianos
The Dacianos formed the mythical group of European wanderers, said to be a caste of gypsies, who specialised in child-stealing and the manufacture of human freaks. They are also referred to as a criminal society that lasted until the 18th century, maiming children so they could be sold as professional beggars.
Origin
The Dacianos are cited to have inhabited parts of Spain for several hundred years and the term itself, along with gitanos, is a Spanish name for gypsies. Their origin is linked to gypsies called the Dacians, who settled Dacia, a Roman province and later a kingdom in present-day Hungary.<ref name=":0" /> Another theory claims that the Dacianos may have come from Dacca, a province of Pakistan.
