Dacian Wars - The Birth of a Nation - Romanians = Dacians + Romans

The Dacian Wars on the Column of Trajan

Dacians had been on the Roman agenda since before the days of Caesar when they had beaten a Roman army at the Battle of Histria. In 85, the Dacians had swarmed over the Danube and pillaged Moesia and initially defeated an army the Emperor Domitian sent against them, but the Romans were victorious in the Battle of Tapae in 88 AD and a truce was drawn up.

From AD85 to AD89, the Dacians (under Decebalus) were engaged in two wars with the Romans.
In AD87, the Roman troops under Cornelius Fuscus were defeated, and Cornelius Fuscus was killed by the Dacians under the authority of their ruler, Diurpaneus. After this victory, Diurpaneus took the name of Decebalus. The next year, AD88, new Roman troops under Tettius Iullianus, gained a signal advantage, but were obliged to make peace owing to the defeat of Domitian by the Marcomanni, so the Dacians were really left independent. Even more, Decebalus received the status of "king client to Rome", receiving from Rome military instructors, craftsmen and even money.

Emperor Trajan recommenced hostilities against Dacia and, following an uncertain number of battles, defeated the Dacian King Decebalus in the Second Battle of Tapae in 101 AD. With Trajan's troops pressing towards the Dacian capital Sarmizegethusa, Decebalus once more sought terms. Decebalus rebuilt his power over the following years and attacked Roman garrisons again in 105 AD. In response Trajan again marched into Dacia, besieging the Dacian capital in the Siege of Sarmizegethusa, and razing it to the ground. With Dacia quelled, Trajan subsequently invaded the Parthian empire to the east, his conquests taking the Roman Empire to its greatest extent. Rome's borders in the east were indirectly governed through a system of client states for some time, leading to less direct campaigning than in the west in this period.

To expand the glory of his reign, restore the finances of Rome, and end a treaty perceived as humiliating, Trajan resolved on the conquest of Dacia and with it the capture of the famous Treasure of Decebalus and control over the Dacian gold mines of Transylvania. The result of his first campaign (101-102) was the siege of the Dacian capital Sarmizegethusa and the occupation of a part of the country. The second campaign (105106) ended with the suicide of Decebalus, and the conquest of the territory that was to form the Roman province Dacia Traiana. The history of the war is given by Cassius Dio, but the best commentary upon it is the famous Column of Trajan in Rome.

Although the Romans conquered and destroyed the ancient Kingdom of Dacia, a large remainder of the land remained outside of Roman Imperial authority. Additionally, the conquest changed the balance of power in the region and was the catalyst for a renewed alliance of Germanic and Celtic tribes and kingdoms against the Roman Empire. However, the material advantages of the Roman Imperial system wasn't lost on much of the surviving aristocracy. Thus, most of the historians and linguists believe that many of the Dacians became Romanised (see also Origin of Romanians).

Geto-daca este o limba indo-europeana, apartinând limbilor tracice.

Am citit recent ca: dintre cei cei 80 de împarati cati a avut marele stat, 40 au fost Daco-Iliri .

Se întelege marele rol jucat de Traco-Daci în viata imperiala si numarul redus al asa-zisilor Romani.

Diferenta genetica între Romani si Daci, nu era prea mare, caci si cei dintai tot „din acel numeros si raspîndit popor din lume, Tracii,se trageau.

[zaibacek]

Eu cred ca altfel era teoria asta. Romanii au o legenda despre formarea poporului lor care s-ar trage din Enea. Dar de fapt nimeni nu are habar daca au venit dinspre sud sau dinspre nord. Cert e ca nu sunt o populatie bastinasa, cum nu sunt nici etruscii, nici alte civilizatii din cizma. In contextul asta cred ca se considera ca ar putea sa fi coborat chiar din Dacia.

And i supose Traian name was Tra Ianos!!!

You hungarian retard

See my video... The Getae-Dacians pt. 3... On Galerius and the Dacian domination of the Roman empire...

The war didn't exactly end with the death of Decebal...

[christicristian06]

si pana la urma cine sunt stramosii nostrii??? traci,daci, romani nu mai inteleg nimic...scz dar nu am apucat sa invat istoria

[nicu6177]

Cu privire la originea noastra ne lamureste profetul Daniel, el a vazut o imparatie care era parte de lut de olar şi parte de fier. Fierul amestecat cu lutul, inseamna se refera la amestecul prin legaturi omenesti de casatorie, dar nu vor fi lipiţi unul de altul, după cum fierul nu se poate uni cu lutul. Noi suntem DACO- ROMANI mai mult prin legaturi omenesti dar ei n-au fost niciodata cu adevarat pentru noi.

we come from the dacians, we have no roman roots just adopted a part of their culture.

[wotansteel]

Cand vezi cat un om drept viteaz si intelept nu te poti gandi decat la vechi Daci,actual vezi in guvern fetze de slavoni,iudei,fanarioti,unde este astazi darzenia din privire,cinstea si dreptatea vechilor Daci?O gasim atat de rar si mai rar in posturi de conducere,atunci cand dam de asa ceva recunoastem poate:ce om adevarat.

[Vulturu]

Romanii au stat aici doar pana in 275 A.D. si au ocupat un sfert din Dacia. nu avem nici o treaba cu ei. suntem Daci, nu romani.

[TransilvaniaROU]

Nu cred că suntem chiar Romani. Coloniştii Romani care au ajuns în Dacia cred că erau tot felul de naţii (Gali, Germani, Britoni, Greci etc.). Doar nu credeţi că Traian a trimis romanii din Peninsula Italică la noi pe teritoriu. ;:)) E cam absurd! Suntem noi în mare parte Daci dar nu cred că suntem romani. Aşa zişii colonişti "romani" au fost naţii aduse din toate colţurile imperiului

[robertyno1979]

@navaro20 DECI 101% a dreptate.

[aquario008]

@navaro20 sentimentele mele exact!

[boogieman03ful]

ACESTE CHIPURI,IMAGINI ,STATUI,AR TREBUI SA FIE REPRODUSE IN TOATA CULTURA SI CIVILIZATIA VALAHA,ROMANA. ACESTIA SUNT ILUSTRII NOSTRII STRABUNI. EI SUNT BAZA PIRAMIDEI NOSTRE NATIONALE. STEGUL DAC,DRAGONUL TRE SA FIE PRETUTINDENI ARBORAT,PE BACNOTE,CARDURI,PE STEMA NATIONALA......

[PentruPatrie]

@navaro20 Moartea lor nu ne va aduce niciodata satisfactie.Pentru ceea ce au facut merita sa fie pusi in aceeasi situatie in care suntem noi oamenii normali si ai sa vezi ca cea mai mare pedepsa este sa le platim cu aceeasi moneda.
