AWA279 - Roman interactions with Dacia

<p>Negrisan George writes, 'I Read about how the Dacians imposed high tribute on the Romans in the first century AD. I'm not an expert, but I think the Dacians were the only ones who received tribute from Roman Empire. </p> <p>And then I read how the Daco-Roman wars started: how Trajan invaded Dacia with one-third of the army of the empire. A third can you imagine? And, of course they defeated the Dacians and robbed Dacia. </p> <p>Was the purpose of the campaign to get the gold from what is today Rosia Montana in Romania? After defeating the Dacians Trajan built Trajan's Column to depict the wars - it was a huge matter of pride for the Romans. Were the Dacians the most respected and feared enemy of the Roman Empire?' </p> <p><strong>Join us on Patron</strong><br /> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast</a></p> <p> </p>
