Roma (Gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people and entered Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries C.E.
They were called "Gypsies" because Europeans mistakenly believed they came from Egypt.
This minority is made up of distinct groups called "tribes" or "nations."
I've interacted with the Roma several dozen times in my place of business, their place of business and in public and the result is always disappointing.

It's "8th century AD." Or, "8th century BC."
Knock off the "BCE" and "CE" crap.

eighth and tenth centuries C.E.
Please use BC or AD, so we know what you're talking about.
