It can be assumed that the ethnonyms Buri and Lugioi Buroi referred to the same people, who were both a part of the Przeworsk culture population and a branch of the Lugian federation. The settlements of this tribe in the Early Roman Period were located in the southern part of the Przeworsk culture territory, in southeastern Poland, in an area that at that time was under strong Celtic and Dacian influences. The Buri, like the entire Lugian federation, were politically and militarily active in the lands south of the Carpathians, for example, during Trajan's Dacian Wars. In the second half of the 2nd century AD, they invaded the Carpathian Basin, settling its northern edge over the Upper Tisa. The border location of the Buri, on the southern outskirts of the Lugian territory, caused them to be perceived by the Romans as both a part of the Lugian federation (Lugioi Buroi) and as a "separate" people (Buri).
