The symbol of victory of Emperor Decebalus

The ancient culture that flourished before the Roman Empire's conquest was closely associated with the Thracians. They were renowned as fierce warriors and skilled metalworkers. After a long period of warfare the Kingdom of Dacia was defeated by the Roman Emperor Trajan in 106 AD. Dacia became a Roman province leading to a process of Roman cultural assimilation which forms the basis of the Romanian language. Later in the 1st and early 2nd centuries they waged several wars against Roman expansion particularly during the reign of King Decebulus.
