Dacian Wars (87–106) - events| 86 | Roman Empire, Dacia | The Dacians, from the area of modern Romania, cross the River Danube into the Roman province of Moesia under their king, Decebalus, defeating the Roman legate there. | | 101–102 | Dacia, Roman Empire | King Decebalus of Dacia has strengthened his standing and is implacably anti-Roman. The Roman emperor Trajan invades Dacia with ten legions and, after a difficult campaign, forces Decebalus to surrender. The defeated chieftain is allowed to remain on the throne as a client king. | | 104–106 | Dacia, Roman Empire | King Decebalus of Dacia revolts again, overwhelming the Roman garrisons left north of the River Danube and raiding the Roman province of Moesia across the Danube. | | 105 | Dacia, Roman Empire | The Roman emperor Trajan invades Dacia again, with 13 legions. During this war, he wins the confidence of his legionaries – one story tells how during the battle he tears up his own cloak to help bandage the wounded. | | 106 | Roman Empire, Dacia | Dacia (roughly equivalent to modern Romania) becomes a Roman province. Thousands of Dacians are transported to the southern side of the River Danube, while Dacia is colonized and developed by the Romans after the Roman emperor Trajan has carried off much booty. Trajan recognizes the strategic value of Dacia in any further clash with the German tribes. |
