Roman rule in Pannonian regions collapsed during the 5th century, and was replaced by subsequent domination of Huns, Ostrogoths and Lombards.

John Wilkes believes that the Iazyges reached the Pannonian plain either by the end of Augustus's rule (14 AD) or some time between 17 and 20 AD. Constantin Daicoviciu suggests that the Iazyges entered the area around 20 AD, after the Romans called upon them to be a buffer state.
The prevailing view on the Slavic settlement of the Eastern Alps is based mostly on evidence deduced from archeological remains (many of which have been discovered due to the extensive highway constructions in post-1991 Slovenia), [3] ethnographic traces (patterns of rural settlement and land cultivation), as well as on the ascertainments of historical linguistics (including toponymy).
The Eravisci (Ancient Greek: Ἀραβίσκοι [1]) were a Celtic or Pannonian people who inhabited Transdanubia, including Gellért Hill, Dunaújváros, and Aquincum. The Roman ruins of their city Aquincum stand today and are the Aquincum Museum. [2] Very little is known about them. However, we do know that they were highly cultured.
