Dacia was conquered by Trajan in 106 after two hard-fought wars against the Dacian king Decebalus in 101 and 105. These wars and the conquest are depicted and celebrated on Trajan's Column situated in Rome. At the time of the conquest, the various tribal groups that constituted the Dacians had been unified, for only the second time in their history, under the leadership of Decebalus. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The Encyclopedia of Ancient History, v.IV.
