Trajan's Dacian Wars (101–102, 105–106) were two military campaigns fought between the Roman Empire and Dacia during Emperor Trajan's rule. The conflicts were triggered by the constant Dacian threat on the Danubian province of Moesia and also by the increasing need for resources of the economy of the Empire.
First Dacian War (101–102) 101 – Third Battle of Tapae – Trajan defeated Decebalus, with heavy losses. 102 – Battle of Adamclisi - Roman forces led by Trajan annihilated a mixed Dacian-Roxolano-Sarmatae army, with heavy casualties on the Roman side. Second Dacian War (105–106) 105 - Fourth Battle of Tapae – Trajan defeated Decebalus.
Nevertheless, the war went on with more sieges of Dacian forts and Dacian attacks on Roman camps until the last battle with Dacians took place at Porolissum. Decebalus sought refuge in the north, in the Carpathian mountains an almost inaccessible region, but a Roman column pursued him along the valley of the Marisus river.
Trajan's First Dacian War took place from 101 to 102. The Kingdom of Dacia , under King Decebalus , had become a threat to the Roman Empire , and defeated several of Rome's armies during Domitian 's reign (81–96).
Dacian citadels dated to the reigns of Burebista and Decebalus have yielded no statues in their sanctuaries. [193] With the destruction of the main Dacian sacred site during Trajan's wars of conquest, no other site took its place.
The defeat reduced the Dacian territory as a mere Roman province. Rome ruled it, including the entire Transylvanian basin for 150 years. A succession of migratory waves by Visigoths, Huns, Gepids, Avars, and Slavs overran Dacia, cutting it off from the Roman and the Byzantine empires by the end of the sixth century. [1]
