We chose to write this script in a different way to Part 1; in a way that puts you in the shoes of Emperor Trajan, and makes you understand the same fear and responsibility for the lives of thousands under his command while dealing with problems concerning communications, steady logistics, water supply, and even terrible news that demand his immediate attention; all under limited time! I think this is the best way to understand why Trajan marched along rivers, took specific detours, and made the mistakes that they did. Part 3 will retain this style, and Trajan’s biggest mistake is still to come! If you're interested in how Rome was able to outfit the largest army of antiquity, check out our video on their genius system: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DSdztU469Vs.html

Immigration, not continuation. Every your own historians do not believe in continuation any more. Let me quote you from Nemeti Sorin and Dana, Dan. ‘Introduction. The Dacian paradox.’ In The Roman Empire Provincial. Constructions (2019, Cluj Napoca) Ed’s. Nemeti, Sorin et al. ‘By the end of the 1980s the syntagm “Daco-Roman” was mandatory for all things related to the provincial environment in Dacia. The Dacians were envisaged as forming the largest population in the province and having spread to the last hamlet. Through Romanization they presumably represented the main ethnic component of the future Romanian people. This teleological vision that extends the complete Romanization of the Dacians even to the considerable territories inhabited by the Dacians outside the province was dominant for centuries in Romanian historiography. It was also illustrated by C. C. Petolescu’s recent synthesis works, titles which are relevant for the matter at hand. As the Dacians were autochthons, they did not abandon their homes in the face of the migration waves of the Dark Millennium. Even if they ended up speaking a different language (Latin), the Dacians remained the undying offshoot of Romanianism. Naturally, this entire construction of Romanian ethnogenesis in the vision of the Daco-Romanianists contains a strong imaginary component, the fruit of scholarly mythologies. This is a form of collective memory, of bookish origin, created by the Romanian intellectuals and artificially sustained through literary and historical productions, through public education and, more recently, through the media’ (pp. 8-9). If you don’t understand hedging, in plain English it means that the Deco-Roman continuity is a hoax. And it is not written by me but by historians Sorin Nemeti (Bolyai-Babes University) and Dan Dana (French National Centre of Scientific Research), your compatriots. They are no slouch mate, with dozens of publications about Roman Dacia.

@olmaned3795 3 месяца назад

it's amazing how much this war gets overlooked by those showing Rome's history and might. And when it does it's in a manner simmilar to a show I saw on discovery channel once: Rome was invincible, the dacians were small and unimportant and the conclusion of the war was a done deal from the start. When in reality Rome used its largest army fielded up until that point, led by one of it's greatest emperors at hight of it's imperial might and won a phyric victory. Some geologists in Romania analized the soil and apparently the summer of 106 was one of the hottest and driest in a century and this led to a reinterpretation of the scene on the column with dacians surrendering a fort and coming out with bowls of water as offerings to the Romans - it's now believed that they were begging for water and the siege wouldn't have been won without the weather annomaly. SO the dacians were probably one of the most formidable adversaries the romans had encountered. Not to mention the importance of the war in terms of spoils with the dacian gold and silver revitalising the roman economy. Truly makes this conflict criminally underrated.

The greatest enemy Romans ever met were Iberians. It took over 2 centuries to subdue Iberian peninsula. Roman military were tested against Iberians all the time. He was a good military commander, who returned from Iberia with minor losses. And if you scored a couple of victories over there - you got to be a second Alexander. Dacians were destroyed in less than a decade. Their wise and powerful Decebalus ended up with his head on a tray brought to Trajan. His armies were annihilated, fortresses taken and people enslaved . Result is everything and judging by result Decebalus was not very smart, to put it mildly

@olmaned3795 2 месяца назад

@@nicolafiliber3062 Iberian peninsula does not equal a specific kingdom. by your metric, dacian lands were never entirely cocquered and the dacians constantly raided roman lands, even after the fall of the dacian kingdom. So already, iberians are lower on the chart for being completely occupied. Also, iberians got ocupied only partialy through military means, with a lot of it being through diplomacy and colonising(so they didn't put thatmuch of a fight. Second, the whole point of my initial comment was the moment when the 2 civilisations met, Rome was at its hight with one of its greatest rulers in command of a + 100k army and all its resources focused on the dacians. While the iberians were a side quest with campaigns of 6k to 15k from the romans. Had the iberians ever faced trajan and his army they would have probably been occupied at marching speed.

@@olmaned3795 You do not sound too convincing, my lord. We can name a couple of Roman commanders, who suffered setbacks at Dacia. If we start to list the Roman commanders who suffered defeats in Spain, the list will be long. Lusitanian Viriatus was much more successful than Decebalus ever was. It does not matter whether Spain was a kingdom, or not . A loose confederation of small Iberian principalities proved to be more effective than Dacian kingdom, which did not survive a century. It was wiped out completely. The head of Decebalus was brought to Trajan, his armies were annihilated, fortresses taken, people enslaved .

The opportunistic attack in the weak spot of the Romans almost like striking between the armor plates of the opponent where he least expects it.

Im Romanian and this is a fine description of the war even learned a few new things. The presentation is excelent and i can tell you the propaganda in Romania is to bash the Dacians because it doesnt seem so impressive but it is. My relatives are from the region Trajan besieged near the Orastie and i can tell you even now people there are tough. it wasnt a cakewalk at all this war but a battle in the mud. Trajan was a very good tactician and made all the correct steps. He even constructed very good positional fortresess but this was at stage 2 in the years 105. In Romania for example the history is not studied like this but your clip should be presented. We, meaning me and a few passionate heroes learned from many sources of the Dacian Roman wars. Dacians obviously had the positional advantage and Decebalus was also a good tactician but yeah it was nearly impossible to defeat the whole roman empire, he was close though. The Dacians just had less men, less armour less of everything material, the Roman empire was just 20x bigger. Its impossible to fight and win against a determined Roman army at its peak. The Romans also behaved brutally because the war was very brutal the Dacians were not willing to give up. In the end the Dacian Campaign was the last major campaign of Rome and sealed the deal of the Roman Empire. What is unique about the Dacians is yes they had very good military equipment, an advanced society, a developed state and even some inventions the romans didnt have. They also had all sorts of fortifications and yes knew some siege war. The fortifications were many with all sorts of walls and contraptions and sarmisegetusa fell also because the romans conquered wells to the city. The walls were quite big they were on a hill and it was not easy. And yes the Dacians had helmets too, they had everything in equal quality as the romans as the Dacians were very good metal workers. Of course and you are correct not every Dacian had good armour in fact many didnt have armour or they had light armour, because Dacia just didn't have enaugh men to make armours for everyone in the army. Imagine making 100.000 shields, 100k chainmails, swords...Dacia just didnt have enaugh population to make armour for everyone. And yes its good that you said that Dacians had helmets. Of course they did. Its crazy to think you can just fight the roman legionares in their prime with no armour, its suicide:) Sure, the problem was ultimately that the Roman Army just had more of everything including armour which made a big difference in the field. When it comes to fighting the Dacians were equal to romans in courage, discipline, skill with the falx (its btw called Sica in Dacian) but i do think the romans were better in open fields with large armies having more experience while the dacians were fighting an ambush type of war with strikes and retreats, positional war. The changing of the roman armour i do think its real because tests were done and with the standard roman armour the Sica Falx was just too deadly in blunt force. The Romans were not good people but they kinda are presented in Romania as bringers of civilisation bla bla. The Dacians didnt really need it and they were open to new ideas, the Dacians could have advanced on their own. Although i do agree there were always skirmishes at the border and the Dacians were never happy of Romans in Moesia because that was before Dacian land too and the Dobrogea where the Sarmatians atacked

What's more these Dacians are essentially western Scythians or at least in part... the video creator is wrong to imply they adopted mail armour from surrounding people; Scythians invented mail when Rome was a small fishing village.

After conquering Dacia, Trajan decreed 123 days of holydays throughout all the empire. The gold taken from Dacia fueled the Roman war machine for 160 years. Just to have an idea, the first gold shipment had the ships so filled with gold that 6 of them sink on the way to Rome. The Trajan's column, depicting the Dacian wars, is the biggest of all columns, and Constantin's arch has several. statues of Dacians, proudly looking down. Researchers first thought that they were tatues of Dacian prisoners but later realized they were no prisoners, and the statues were built as a homenage. Dacian wars were the most important wars to that date, at the peak of Roman Empire...

After 200 years, the Roman emperor Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus treated the Romans as Trajan treated the Dacians. Galerius affirmed his Dacian identity and avowed himself the enemy of the Roman name once made emperor, even proposing that the empire should be called, not the Roman, but the Dacian Empire, much to the horror of the patricians and senators. Galerius exhibited an anti-Roman attitude as soon as he had attained the highest power, treating the Roman citizens with ruthless cruelty, like the conquerors treated the conquered, all in the name of the same treatment that the victorious Trajan had applied to the conquered Dacians, forefathers of Galerius, two centuries before.

Also the historic sources express mention Tapae as the place of both engagements, but you shift it to.....Deva. Also for the auxiliary directions of attack inside Dacia experts are still debating.....if. Moesia inferior roman forces crossing Danube and advance to mountains also suppositions....and a lot more. But, but.....all of yours description makes sense and was possible....maybe, as somebody note here, till De Bello Dacico will be found...

Trajan is largely regarded as one of the most successful Emperors of Rome. During his reign, Roman power was at it's absolute best, the peak of their Empire. This tells a hell of a lot about Decebalus and the Dacians and just how important of a treat they were for the Romans to need 2 separate wars to win. And to throw the biggest party ever after the wars. Many aquaducts, buildings, roads and sculptures were created in the immediate time after the war, with the amount of wealth seized. One of the most famous being Trajans Column. But the Dacians appear on other works as well, more so than other civilisations they conquered.

The biggest plunder in ancient history. 160 tonnes of gold and 300 of silver (some estimates are 1/3rd bigger) Pulled out the Roman Empire from bancruptcy.

@leonardusius1968 3 месяца назад

That is very hard to digest for the most west scholars. Also, Trajan killed and enslaved almost half of the dacians (another phenomenal source of money for the bankrupt Rome) and with this plunder keep Colloseum to work for months non-stop.

And be aware Dacians had also their own powerful God Zamolxe, they always asked him for when they should go to war or not.

Radu Olteanu is an ilustrator ( historical illustrations ) not a historian - but he manage produce , self fund , publish and draw all the watercolor and photoshop images and create all the text based on his vast research. He is also involved with local historian friends that have books and research papers and archeologist that are history enthusiasts. They have contributed to his personal research which he takes very serious.

It is thanks to his work and his colleagues that many in the english speaking world can access some information about the Dacian Wars. Because excluding romanian, the only languages with a bit of research in the topic are spanish and french 😂.

Guys you are the best..... Imagine that in our schools they are teaching us that our ancestors Dacians where weak and always lost....Our true history is deleted by some people with big interests.

Plus sunt în ipostază clară de captivi. Frescele sunt de pe un Monument a lui Marcus Aurelius.

@@dafinfeel7942 trupe "dacice" în sec.4??)) Nu numai că nu existau așa trupe pe atunci, uzurpatorul Constantin vine din Britania, nu de la Dunăre. ;) Nu, nimic nu zice așa ceva . Statuile sunt magnifice dar sunt clar de captivi. Și cel mai important nu sunt din timpul lui Constantin, sunt din timpul lui Traian, plasate pe un arc. E cunosc de toți în temă că sau pus acolo lucrări de la Traian și Marcus Aurelius. Romanii din sec.4 deja nu făceau așa lucrări ideale. Posibil au legătură simbolistică mai târzie cu campania lui Constantin de recucerire a Daciei la nord de Dunăre în anii 325-334.

Hello HistoriaMilitum, 🤩 I would like to state that the largest edifice built by the Dacians is not the columna, maybe not even the Sarmizegetusa fortress, but the triumphal arch of Constantine the Great built after the battle of 312 on the Milvius bridge. Then and there the future fate of Christian teachings was decided. In the Ingressus scene when Constantine enters Rome, he is accompanied by the Dacian troops with their wolf banners. Troops who fought against the Persians under Galerius, the Roman emperor of Dacian origin. I consider that the arch is an edifice that primarily celebrates their heroism on the Milvius bridge. Kudos to your entire team for the educational information.😘

Definitely the best documentary about the war between dacians and romans. I already impatient to see the third part. And I hope you will document the years after Trajan reign. Immediately after his death the dacians revolted and almost pushed back the romans. There are a big number of revolts and wars in what we used to name roman ocupation that are almost forgotten. Even Regalianus,who become emperor with support of dacians and thracians it seems to be Decebal nephew.
