Slavs are descendants of Sarmatians? [600]
Yes, Celts were Sarmatians (ie Slavs). One more Roman written data on it. Read >
Balkan/Serbia as ancient ice age refugium for Slavs proved to be old core of Slavic world. Point where old Slavs, natives of Europe, retreat during periods of glaciations and from where ancients again re-populated Europe. Sarmatians, Thracians, Dacians, Celts, Iliryans, etc, etc, its all about old Slavs. No more then it, no less.
Works of Roman Publius Annius Florus, poet, orator, and author gives best possible Roman confirmation that Celts were Thracians and Sarmatians, actually Slavs. And guess what. You know for the Roman data about Tribali, greatest Thracian tribe situated in what is now Serbia and again you also knows for the old records about Scordisci who were greatest Celtic tribe and again Scordisci were situated in what is now Serbia. Now, linguists confirms that name of Serbians represent one of local versions of original universal Sarmatian name (even official Israel speaks of it these days, pointing on fact that Slavs were natives to Europe). So, if Moeasia (ie Serbia) was old core of Sarmatian/Thracian (ie Slavic) world, it also explains why name of ancients survived in Serbian language and in name of Serbia/Rashka. Only here we have that dualism of Thracian/Sarmatian names preserved and clearly explained. See, it all confirms that old Sarmatian/Thracian (ie Slavs) core was reason for formation of Roman province of Moesia what actually marking kind of Roman-Sarmatian symbiosis. Romans obviously managed to seriously harm old Slavs in what was their old core (Serbia) but were unable to defeat them completely and digest them. Therefore, center of Roman empire moved to old Sarmatian (ie Slavic) core. There was no other way for Roman Empire to survive then to accept Sarmatian elite as equal to old Roman elite. It resulting in 18 Roman Emperors of classical antiquity being born in Moeasia (Serbia).
Here is about Florus`s writings, in 90 BC (!):
Florus ............, citing the Scordisci especially as 'the cruellest of all the Thracians... and to their strength was added cunning as well'. The attack deprives Rome of control over many areas of the Balkans and northern Greece.

It is written and from many other sources of the time we know that Thracians were same as Sarmatians and we coming to that dualism Srbija/Raska > Serbia/Rashka > Sarmatia/Thracia > all in correcsondence with linguistics, archeology, old written records and genetics.
