All aboard the time machine - we are going to Dacia again! The cunning, brave, and warlike culture of the Dacians has challenged Rome for over a century, since the time of Julius Caesar, and have shown us the full extent of Rome’s wrath and military might - in assembling the largest and most specialized army, second only to the army of Trajan’s 2nd Dacian War, and in taking the fight right into the peaks of the Orastie Mountains.

So good! I think covering the various campaigns against the germans during the 1st century BC and AD would be really useful. I think this is an area where a lot of us knows some stuff about them but not enough for a coherent narrative.
Is he a historian? Historians work with primary source documents and produce new research. They don’t base their content on existing scholarly works. This is not a criticism. I would like to know if he is.
I must say this again . I have been studying Roman military history for well over 60 years and this series is without a doubt the best and most visually informative (also entertaining) that I have ever seen. Thank you all for the wonderful work and looking for much more. You make my day!!
The title is wrong - Dacian people were never been exterminated in an practically totally forested area...The Dacians were either partially displaced or assimilated by Roman colonists. But the overall presentation is very good. Cordially yours
Don't listen to these bozos. There are some influences but we've never been slavinized. Republic of Moldova for example is half slavinized (at least in language that is) but not Romania.
Wait, so you end the video with this massive cliffhanger, but without saying that a 4th part is coming? You're killing us! Joke's aside, your videos are phenomenal! Keep up the good work!
Decebalus' decision to attack and provoke the fury of the Roman Empire again the 2nd time is always fascinating to me. And it seems his men were on board. The Dacians must've really believed they had a shot of coming out on top? Or they just really hated not being fully independent to the point of suicide. But to decide to challenge Rome again at its height after facing the greatest and so massive army ever assembled once already is impressive (or crazy). Perhaps the first war was not as one-sided as the column leads us to believe, especially sparing the king and not annexing the barbarian land as a province immediately was pretty unprecented from Trajan. But that's maybe because he wanted a strong buffer state like you said in the video
The Dacians were noble people. I guess they decided that it's better to die in freedom than live in slavery. Interestingly, this sentiment is echoed in our national anthem. "Murim mai bine in lupta, cu glorie deplina, decat sa fim sclavi iarasi, in vechiul nost pamant". I am proud of both our Roman and Dacian ancestors.
@@TheSasudomi what does that mean? You do know that some of Rome’s greatest emperors and leaders had Dacian/Thracian ancestry, right? Constantine, Aurelian, Belisarius, Justinian.
It's complicated. Dacia was the first time a sense of unity connected these tribes. Burebista was barely four or five generations before. It will probably be explained in the next video, but the first war effort was mostly warriors in whatever flavour they came, while for the second war, no civilian bowed out.
@@kingspore5000 I know. But they don't represent the majority, THE TRUE ROMANIANS. Romanian academia doesn't support the Dacopathic conspiracy theory, and neither respected Romanian scholar's such as Florin Curta and Petre Guran. We Romanians are the Latin-speaking 'Byzantine's' (Romans) that were conquered by the Slavs in 615 AD.
@@victorminea2005 Are dreptate, dacopați ăștia ne distrug istoria și originea noastră. Unul spusă că identitatea noastră de români este "politică". Zici de parcă sunt bozgori
Very good video, thank you. The Orastie mountains were full of fortifications, some of them old from the time of Burebista, so 150 years before, the road network or rather the lack of them was thought precisely to help the defenders, the Romans had to fight hard to overcome all these.
Thank you for making these outstanding videos. I especially enjoy learning the finer details of the campaign. Almost everyone else glosses over that stuff. It's incredibly interesting to visualize the difficulties of the attackers and defenders, the logistics, how strategies change with new developments, and the sheer manpower involved in the Roman war machine at all levels. Lusius Quietus is one of those names I associated with Trajan's later war with Parthia and then the Kitos war, but I didn't realize he played such a prominent role in Dacia as well.
About the map, Costoboci were placed roughly where the Carpi are on the map. As for the Carpi, there is a post conquest entity in what will be the western Bastarnae lands and eastern Dacian lands beyond Carpatians. Costoboci lands showed there were mostly in Dacia but given the borders of Dacia Province there is a possibility that some tribes were probably rulling the area. Also the direction of the main roman attack might be from.a different location and Blidaru was probably more secure than the religios capital.
Could you make a mini video of you just analysing the trojen colllom to teach us a bit, like exsplaning how you figured out the parts you used in these videos or how would you recognise it/read it....
Thats a great suggestion! We will do it sometime this month, but it will have to be posted for YT members and Patreons, as the youtube algorithm surely wont favour it. Cheers!

@@DISTurbedwaffle918 Pretty much. Although in later Roman history, there were a few Roman emperors who had Dacian and Thracian ancestry, so the fusion of the Romans and Dacians was important for the whole Roman Empire.
@@daciaromana2396 I do agree of Thracian origin (i.e Constantinian dynasty, Leonid dynasty and Justinianian dynasty), but of Dacian origin non at all. Galerius' mother was of Roman origin even if she was born north of lower danube. Her name was "Romula" which is the feminine version of "Romulus", and means "Roman woman".
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 We are mostly descendants of Christianized Roman population from the south bank of lower danube, but of course our ethnogenesis came to be on both banks of the river. These Romans were of Thraco-Roman ethno-cultural background, just as Florin Curta a Romanian-American Historian from University of Florida argued.
@@InAeternumRomaMater According to Lactantius, Romula fled Roman Dacia due to Carpian raids. So she is from Roman Dacia. It's difficult to state what her ancestral lineage was from a name. As Romans of Dacian ancestry took Roman names. Regardless, from the same source we know that Galerius affirmed his Dacian identity. Regarding the Thracian versus Dacian ancestry, the lines are blurred, because they likely had similar if not identical blood. Even now, there isn't that much genetic difference between lower and upper Danube populations.

The Citadel of Banita was the place where i grew up. In 2010 you can still see remains from the dacians there. And the fortress itself it's on a big hill, roughly 75-100 m high. Nearby it's a cave and a the mures river. I love how it all comes to place, and makes sense now learning all this.
Modern Romanians claim they are direct offspring of Dacians. How did Rome extermenate Dacians when their Latin family language speaking grand greatchildren exist as Romanians????

The triumphal arch of Emperor Constantine I the Great. It was raised in 315 AD. and is in Rome. The impressive monument commemorates Constantine's victory over the Roman emperor Maxentius, achieved on October 28, 312, in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in Rome. It is the largest triumphal arch that survives today and the last great monument of Imperial Rome. The most impressive parts of the Arch of Constantine, visible from a distance, are the 8 statues of the Dacian commanders. The presence of the Dacians on this monument as well as the sarcophagus of Constantin-Elena's mother - is due to the Thracian-Dacian origins of the emperor. Constantine was Moeso-Dacian. Romania is ancient Dacia. The Dacians and the Getae, our ancestors..

Your work is excellent! Thank you. If I may humbly suggest a topic for a future video: I think it would be great for a video to take us through a prominent roman temple and temple complex, a specific one would be ideal, but even a more general overview of these physical spaces that were so important in the life of Rome and its citizens would be useful. We're told temple complexes held critical religious, political, and social functions across society, and held not only statues and offerings but living quarters and troops. wealth, offices. A video that can show what one of these magnificent places likely looked like and how it functioned with the community, would be very interesting.
Plz make realistic history about the "Macedonian" Phalanx because some sources say their sarissas 3rd & 4th back rows tilted upwards protects the whole unit from arrows which doesn't make sense how thin those sarissas were Like in the film "Alexander" "Battle of Gaugamela"
An uninspired title. Caesar was much tougher in Gaul, he made many victims and did not "exterminate" the Gauls. At Trajan's death, there was a big uprising in Dacia, so they were nowhere near "exterminated". There were enough Dacians left to be enlisted in the Romanian army and sent, for example, to Britain.
And some peolpe say Dacia was not that big threat for the Romans, I mean sure they were no Sassanids, but at least they deserve some recognition for putting up a crazy resistance against the Rome at it`s prime, and somehow impressed them enough to make statues after them !?
~2000 years of history are skimmed over in Romania's national anthem. Here's how it starts: -=- Awake, Romanian, from deadly slumber, You've been thrown under by barbaric tyrants! Now or never, weave yourself a different fate Your cruel enemies would bow to, in reverence. -=- Now or never, let’s put out proof Roman blood still flows in these veins, And in our chests we proudly keep a name, Triumphant in battles, a name of Trajan. -=- Ironically, even though our history and culture is deeply connected to Dacians, they are not mentioned in the anthem. Nowadays Dacia is a name that's become globally known because of the homonymous car brand. Considering we, the present day Romanians, define ourselves as "those who speak Romanian" and the Romanian language being forged by the demographic mix of Dacians and Romans using the latter's Vulgar Latin as a backbone and weaving in influences from all over for about 1500 years, I'd say we're proof time somehow closes all wounds. A lot of time in this case but still.
Daca latină era limba romanilor, de ce italienii ,urmașii romanilor nu vorbesc latina ? Noi nu venim din limba latină.Ea este o limbă moarta ,ptr că a fost vorbită de o anumită parte, evoluată a societății romane.Cand aceasta societate a dispărut, a dispărut și limba latină. Pe teritoriul Daciei se vorbea o limbă indo europeană,care a evoluat odată cu civilizația din aceasta parte a Europei.A fost un proces de mii de ani.Puteti să spuneți de unde a părut limba latină? Ce limba vorbeau romanii la anul 753 i.e.n ? Credeți că vorbeau latină ?😂 Eu nu cred. Iar dacă există cca 300 de statui de daci,iar pe arcul de triumf al lui Constantin ,in sec IV e.n.apar figuri de daci,cum putem afirma că dacii au dispărut? Acest video este o prostie, alții vor să ne facă să credem că românii au apărut din neant. Greșit! Dacii sunt strămoșii noștri,așa cum galii sunt strămoșii francezilor.
Salutari Dana din Germania. Am studiat in ultimi ani antichitate si pot sa iti dau cateva raspunsuri sau curiozitati. Limba Romanilor este si a fost latina. Inca din ~800 bc. Limba lor a venit de la ei cu influente de la etrurians, greci, samnitici, si alti vecini. Limba noastra a fost daca sau thraca. Inca avem cateva cuvinte ce provine de acolo precum batran sau viezure. Dacii erau aproape aceeasi natie ca thraci, getii, carpii, si alte triburi. Cultura distincta, Zeii distinctii, limba distincta. Cand Romani ne-au cucerit, noi usor am adoptat latina. In prezent vorbim limba latina, cu influente enorme din limba daca, limbi slavice, maghiara si turca. Dar tot o limba latina este. Daca Romanii ar fi aici, ei ne-ar intelege aproape 50% din tot ce zicem. Limba italiana pe o parte, a provenit din latina, si ii cea mai apropriata de ea. Insa italiana a trecut prin multe etape. ( dominatie germana de secole, francezi etc. ) Italiana este latina vulgara, precum romana. Este ce a ramas din ea. Noi avem sange de Romanii in noi ( Romanii au ramas aici si si-au facut familii, si n-au plecat niciodata ) , dar si sange de daci ( daci si restu triburilor precum thraci ) Suntem o natie de nobili, foarte drepti si bravi ( precum acum in 200 bc ), dar in acelasi timp si de alcoolici si lenesi. Noi am fost assimilati de Romani, pe cand albanezii au ramas distinci ( ei vorbesc o limba din Illiria, nu o limba latina vulgara ). Sper ca te-a ajutat!
@@danamunteanu3866Inca una, Dacii nu au disparut. Noi suntem ce au ramas din ei. Limba latina nu ii moarta. In lume sunt sute de meii care o vorbesc In Biologie, Astronomie, Paleontologie, Religie, Medicina majoritatea cuvintelor sunt in latina. Francezi sunt cea mai ramas din galezi. Insa ei nu sunt nativi. Francezi, au fost un trib german cu nume Franken. Ei au dominat Galia pentru mai mult de o mie de ani. Acum sunt assimilati cu ce a fost in Galia in 500 ad ( cand ei au invadat Galia ) Limba galeza ii una celtica precum irlandeza. Nu germana sau latina.
@@agrippa5643 nu sunt fericita cu ceea ce spui,ptr că în Italia sunt multe dialecte și o limbă oficială,italiana. Cei din nord nu înțeleg limba celor din sud. Pe când la noi,e tocmai invers,cineva din Baia Mare se înțelege cu altul din Constanța sau chiar din Chișinău. Eu cred că a existat un hub al primelor popoare migratoare ,in zona Peninsulei Balcanice. Populația de bază era reprezentată de traci, daci , geți.Ei au dezvoltat o limbă care a evoluat în limba română,iar cei care s,au deplasat spre Italia au creat limba latină.Desi dacii au fost influențați de romani,noi nu venim din limba latină și nici dacii nu au fost exterminați. Asta este o teorie nedemonstrata .
the Dacians weren't exterminated, there were still 3 great dacian revolts after the roman conquest. The dacians existed as non latinized people at least untill the 3rd century as Galerius was recorded to have had a Dacian mother and Thracian father. they were eventually assimilated, but not exterminated
What extermination! Dacian soldiers were integrated into the Roman Army like many other countries that they have conquered. There is archaeological proof all over Europe demonstrating that.One of the many reasons that the country is called Romania and not Dacia is because many didn’t allow us to use the name because they thought that we may come and ask for territories that were inhabited by us since the age of the Romans. Transylvania is a exquisite example! Not mentioning the rest of the land.When history books are written by the victor and modern couch potato its easy to write whatever suits you without any proper research.
You are free to believe you are whoever you want to be. What I mean by “Dacian people” in the video are those who preserved their unique culture, identity, and religion. In that way, the Dacians were very much “exterminated” through Romanization through time - their tradition no longer exists. Hope that clears it up!
@@HistoriaMilitum If you would have made your research prior of making this video…you would have seen that many Romanian so called pagan customs are far older than the arrival of Christianity and are dating from ancient times.From customs to habits to beliefs…etc But when your neighbors want you to do not have any national identity of course they will do whatever they can in order to distort historical facts so they can get another slice of your country like they did so far….So the Roman Empire sent their soldiers on an area bigger than 300000 square km in order to decimate an entire nation till the last one so they can repopulate it with Roman settlers. If after the fall of the Dacian Kingdom the ruling line was broken and we couldn’t regroup do to the bulls@#$it geographical location that we are and constant wars…..that doesn’t mean we didn’t exist and thrive. Anyway. Video is spot on! The title is erroneous. That’s all. Good luck 🍀
Check the traditional chlothes of people from romanian and the dacians from trajan colum, search for pre-christian traditions and dances like 'călușarii' or 'hora' which are unique for entire planet and you will see that the dacians are well and alive. You know what is dead and disepared? The shity roman empire and peple who come to plunder my land. @@HistoriaMilitum
You know about all these sofisticated Dacian fortifications, and I'm sure a host of other details about the kingdom itself, and still you call them barbarians.
I would like to see you do a film on Roman intelligence: how their units operated, communicated; did the army use the reports of merchants and bankers; did intelligence bribe barbarian chiefs and sow discord. Etc. Thanks.
After many years of studying Romans and how they thought about the world i have realized "western civilization" as a whole adopted their way of thinking big time. We still to this day think of different cultures as barbarians and not worthy of life in the same time our western view as well as Romans view of "others" has deep roots in the culture of extreme fear and paranoia of being "invaded by barbarians" while in the same time westerners inflict heavy damage to everyone who is different not realizing its self fulfilling act of hate and disgust towards others that brings back the heat. West has never dealt with this extreme fear of others just like Romans, therefore eradicating someone makes them feel safer. In my view there is no worse coward in the world then someone fearing of others men children, we can see this in endless colonial wars as well as modern newest example of middle east tensions i cant name that country or my comment will get deleted, but we know who i talk about.
But the west was invaded countless times after the romans, the arabs, the mongols, the vikings. You think they adopted their way of thinking but it was not, it was an existential crisis. If you look at the map of the Roman Empire you can clearly see how it lost half of the territories to “barbarians”, like egypt, north africa, anatolia etc. Even England became Anglo-Saxon, Galia became Francia and now France and so on
@@AleXcsGaming Many different people fought for dominance and freedom or simply glory. But none have developed such deep fear and paranoia of "others". Even Mongols that were known for cruel treatment of enemies did not exterminate someone, because of hate and racism, but they rather were principled with someone that broke their moral code. And instead of destroying entire enemy they incorporated them with enthusiasm. China that was by far the most dominant power in the Asia and in 5 000 years of defending against "barbarians" even building such great walls did not develop need to exterminate others. But Rome did. Germans did. English did. Americans did. Spanish did. French did. Israel did. Westerners have developed ideology to support fear factor and racism. Europeans went on such killing spree around the globe that until 19th century there was no place on Earth left untouched by their guns and need for subjugating "others". There is a reason all continents, but Asia and middle east speak European language.
The Dacians were not exterminated. Becoming Roman citizens, they entered the administration and management of the empire. Roman Emperors of Dacian origin. ---Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor in history. It was born south of the Danube, in Naissus in Dacia Mediterranea province of which Naissus was the capital (now, on the Serbian territory), then Moesia Superior. His father, Emperor Constantius Chlorus, was from Naissus. In 325, during the reign of the council of Nicaea, Naissus attested a bishop called "Dacus". Dacian presence south of the Danube, both before and after the conquest of Dacia, is undeniable. So Constantine was exactly a Moeso-Dacian. ----Galerius Maximinus. Galerius Valerius Maximianus was born in the year 250 (245 according to some authors), in the village Romulianum of Dacia Ripensis not far from the city of Sardica (now Sofia). His father was a Thracian and mother Romula, was a Dacian, refugee for some reason, north of the Danube, from Dacia Traiana in the south. According to Lactantius, (250-325) Galerius king has said his Dacian origin and was declared an enemy of the Roman name. He proposed to change the name of the Roman Empire to Dacian Empire, moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Thessaloniki. ----Regalianus..great-grandson of the king Decebalus. ----Aureolus. Byzantine historian Zonaras says about him: "Aureolus was of the Getae country, later called Dacia, the first, pastor.. ----Licinius Roman Imperator, was born in Moesia Superior, in a peasant family from Dacia. ---- Maximinus II Daia -was born on 20 November AD 270 in the Danubian region as the son of a sister of Galerius a Dacian Emperor of Rome.
As always , great work ! What is stunning , and explained by nobody , how Romans became the italians - the most despised military force ( soldiers ) by all 19th and 20th generals , from Napoleon onward ?
I mean, there is about a 1500-year time gap between Italians and Romans. That's quite a long history to cover. But to sum it all up, Italy has had a lot of bad luck when it comes to military campaigns. Perhaps this is why they are remembered so unfavorably. It was also a relatively young country, which may explain why it lacked experience in military matters.
In Notitia Dignitatum the Dacians are attested in c. 400 AD in Scythia Minor still i.e. "Conferat ergo lector clipeos lanceariorum seniorum (V 2) et iuniorum (VI 7) , Iouia- norum Herculianorumque iuniorum (V 3; 4) et seniorum (Oc. V 2; 3), mattiariorum iuniorura (Or. V 7) et senio- rum (VI 2) , Dacorum et Scythorum et (Sarmatarum) Re- giorum (VI 3 ; 4 ; 8) " While comparing the different emblems of the legions it mentions "the Dacians, Scythians and (Sarmatians) of the regions". Because Sarmatians are mentioned as well this is proof that Dacian and Scythian doesn't stand for the inhabitants of the Roman provinces of Dacia (Aureliana) and Sctythia Minor but actual ethnicities as there was no Roman province named Sarmatia so it can only be about ethnicity. Another proof that the the Dacians weren't entirely annihilated is that Constantine the Great gained the title Dacicus Maximus in 336 AD while campaigning North of the Danube.
I'm descended from Dacians. We're not gone. We improvised, adapted, overcame. Some of us have forgotten the langauge and speak Slavic descendant languages, others Romance languages, but we're here, hiding in plain sight. You just have to look into the genetic studies to understand we werent exterminated.

Existence? Rome's Dacia crumbled 200 years under the descendants of Ostrogotha and Pieporus and the Apuli dacian tribe. After Aurelian's retreat, all the romans were slaughthered and Sarmisegetuza Regia was reclaimed and Ulpia Traiana sacked, left with less then 100 inhabitants. The Romanian folk have been romanized through Christianity in the Gothic relam, especialy Ulfila's efort of bringing Arianism to the Dacians that had to obey the Gothic Arian church and not the Zalmoxian priests.
BANNA ! The Dacians Fort on the wall of Hadrian. Banna-Birdoswald, Britannia-UK. BANNA - In Northumbria - the largest and oldest fort of the sixteen inscribed along the wall, the best preserved, with most vestiges, the only inhabited, and after the breakdown of the Roman empire, long after, by the descendants of those soldiers coming from Dacia . Banna! ... Birdoswald, as the Englishmen baptized it . This fortress was built and inhabited by 1000 soldiers from COHORS I AELIA DACORUM , recruited by the Roman Emperor Hadrian from Dacia ( actual Romania) at 120-125 AC , to fight against Scottish, Iuti and Picti from the north. After the Dacian wars (101-102 and 105-106), the Roman Empire used Dacian cohorts (military units of 500-1000 soldiers) throughout the Empire, archaeological discoveries pointing to their presence both in the United Kingdom today and in Turkey . '' '' They were remarkable warriors. They fought without fear of death and died laughing because they believed that their souls were immortal. The title "Aelia" itself was a great honor, for it derives from the entire name of Emperor Hadrian, a name that could be won only because of a military or cultural service out of the ordinary. At first they were sent to the Wall, in an outpost called Bewcastle, to fight first with the barbarian tribes. Send somehow to the sacrifice. At a fort located in an open, wilderness, without a wall, without forests, without anything around. That, precisely because they knew their courage and devotion in the fight. They were supposed to die, but they did not die. Then they came here to Banna, and they lived here until the end. They got lands, rights, ranks. They have remained forever there in their city. Yes. They were undoubtedly among the best fighters brought here to fight at Hadrian's wall. These are facts, certainties, "says the archaeologist Robin Birley ''' , British archaeologist Director of Excavations at the Roman site of Vindolanda and head of the Vindolanda research committee . The Dacians, the Romanians ancestors..
I understand the casual use of words doesn't have to fully overlap with basic semantics but it would be nice not to use words so willy nilly in a video supposed to be educational. Rome was never a superpower, and the unified Dacian polity at its peak wasn't even a proper regional one, largely due to the roman involvement (thanks to an emperor who finally mustered the political will to actually risk gathering a strong force capable of easily over throwing him in one place after a period when it was considered to be an asinine, suicidal idea).

The title is wrong - Dacian people were never been exterminated in an practically totally forested area...The Dacians were either partially displaced or assimilated by Roman colonists. But the overall presentation is very good. Cordially yours
As a result of this war, Romania exists today. I am surprised that Romania has never been Slavinized though over the centuries.
actually we are quite slavinazed :)
@@zarzavattzarzavatt9309 unfortunately
We've been "slavinazied" af bro. From our vocabulary to the way we think, we dress, we eat...you name it.
@Ghostrex101
Stop deleting your slavinic heritage people for worshipping and kissing the colonisers roman asses
Don't listen to these bozos. There are some influences but we've never been slavinized. Republic of Moldova for example is half slavinized (at least in language that is) but not Romania.

Rome is our History as well
It's like a miracle for me today,i am thinking about this series and boom a new video just dropped.
Decebalus' decision to attack and provoke the fury of the Roman Empire again the 2nd time is always fascinating to me. And it seems his men were on board. The Dacians must've really believed they had a shot of coming out on top? Or they just really hated not being fully independent to the point of suicide.
But to decide to challenge Rome again at its height after facing the greatest and so massive army ever assembled once already is impressive (or crazy). Perhaps the first war was not as one-sided as the column leads us to believe, especially sparing the king and not annexing the barbarian land as a province immediately was pretty unprecented from Trajan. But that's maybe because he wanted a strong buffer state like you said in the video
I think people underestimate how much autonomy border kingdoms had. No one wanted to bow to the Roman yolk, but many did because they had no choice.
The Dacians were noble people. I guess they decided that it's better to die in freedom than live in slavery. Interestingly, this sentiment is echoed in our national anthem. "Murim mai bine in lupta, cu glorie deplina, decat sa fim sclavi iarasi, in vechiul nost pamant". I am proud of both our Roman and Dacian ancestors.
@@daciaromana2396
Once a barbarian, always a barbarian.
@@TheSasudomi what does that mean? You do know that some of Rome’s greatest emperors and leaders had Dacian/Thracian ancestry, right? Constantine, Aurelian, Belisarius, Justinian.
It's complicated. Dacia was the first time a sense of unity connected these tribes. Burebista was barely four or five generations before.
It will probably be explained in the next video, but the first war effort was mostly warriors in whatever flavour they came, while for the second war, no civilian bowed out.
Already awaiting the next episode, magnificent work.
This was great to learn about. Dacia is seldom mentioned, so I appreciate this video.
As a Român, I am proud of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Divi Nervae filius Augustus Optimus Princeps! The Romans are ancestors🇷🇴🔥💯☦️

Very good video, thank you. The Orastie mountains were full of fortifications, some of them old from the time of Burebista, so 150 years before, the road network or rather the lack of them was thought precisely to help the defenders, the Romans had to fight hard to overcome all these.
Thank you for making these outstanding videos. I especially enjoy learning the finer details of the campaign. Almost everyone else glosses over that stuff. It's incredibly interesting to visualize the difficulties of the attackers and defenders, the logistics, how strategies change with new developments, and the sheer manpower involved in the Roman war machine at all levels.
Lusius Quietus is one of those names I associated with Trajan's later war with Parthia and then the Kitos war, but I didn't realize he played such a prominent role in Dacia as well.
About the map, Costoboci were placed roughly where the Carpi are on the map. As for the Carpi, there is a post conquest entity in what will be the western Bastarnae lands and eastern Dacian lands beyond Carpatians. Costoboci lands showed there were mostly in Dacia but given the borders of Dacia Province there is a possibility that some tribes were probably rulling the area. Also the direction of the main roman attack might be from.a different location and Blidaru was probably more secure than the religios capital.
Worth the wait for sure 😁😊
There it is. We'll worth the wait. Details are excellent!!

Dacians got conquered so hard that they became the only surviving Roman country in Eastern Europe.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 Pretty much. Although in later Roman history, there were a few Roman emperors who had Dacian and Thracian ancestry, so the fusion of the Romans and Dacians was important for the whole Roman Empire.
@@daciaromana2396 I do agree of Thracian origin (i.e Constantinian dynasty, Leonid dynasty and Justinianian dynasty), but of Dacian origin non at all. Galerius' mother was of Roman origin even if she was born north of lower danube. Her name was "Romula" which is the feminine version of "Romulus", and means "Roman woman".
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 We are mostly descendants of Christianized Roman population from the south bank of lower danube, but of course our ethnogenesis came to be on both banks of the river. These Romans were of Thraco-Roman ethno-cultural background, just as Florin Curta a Romanian-American Historian from University of Florida argued.
@@InAeternumRomaMater According to Lactantius, Romula fled Roman Dacia due to Carpian raids. So she is from Roman Dacia. It's difficult to state what her ancestral lineage was from a name. As Romans of Dacian ancestry took Roman names. Regardless, from the same source we know that Galerius affirmed his Dacian identity.
Regarding the Thracian versus Dacian ancestry, the lines are blurred, because they likely had similar if not identical blood. Even now, there isn't that much genetic difference between lower and upper Danube populations.
excellant as usual, this series is so well done! ty

DACO-ROMANIA 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
The triumphal arch of Emperor Constantine I the Great.
It was raised in 315 AD. and is in Rome. The impressive monument commemorates Constantine's victory over the Roman emperor Maxentius, achieved on October 28, 312, in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in Rome. It is the largest triumphal arch that survives today and the last great monument of Imperial Rome.
The most impressive parts of the Arch of Constantine, visible from a distance, are the 8 statues of the Dacian commanders. The presence of the Dacians on this monument as well as the sarcophagus of Constantin-Elena's mother - is due to the Thracian-Dacian origins of the emperor. Constantine was Moeso-Dacian.
Romania is ancient Dacia. The Dacians and the Getae, our ancestors..

Your work is excellent! Thank you. If I may humbly suggest a topic for a future video: I think it would be great for a video to take us through a prominent roman temple and temple complex, a specific one would be ideal, but even a more general overview of these physical spaces that were so important in the life of Rome and its citizens would be useful. We're told temple complexes held critical religious, political, and social functions across society, and held not only statues and offerings but living quarters and troops. wealth, offices. A video that can show what one of these magnificent places likely looked like and how it functioned with the community, would be very interesting.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Plz make realistic history about the "Macedonian" Phalanx because some sources say their sarissas 3rd & 4th back rows tilted upwards protects the whole unit from arrows which doesn't make sense how thin those sarissas were

Great , GREAT job !!!
It captivated me !!!
You should make this part 3 of Dacian Wars instead of this other title
interesting how we have forts and castles that are over 2500yrs old and we are only "taught" about those buildings from the Middle Ages.
An uninspired title. Caesar was much tougher in Gaul, he made many victims and did not "exterminate" the Gauls. At Trajan's death, there was a big uprising in Dacia, so they were nowhere near "exterminated".
There were enough Dacians left to be enlisted in the Romanian army and sent, for example, to Britain.
Great as always.

And some peolpe say Dacia was not that big threat for the Romans, I mean sure they were no Sassanids, but at least they deserve some recognition for putting up a crazy resistance against the Rome at it`s prime, and somehow impressed them enough to make statues after them !?
~2000 years of history are skimmed over in Romania's national anthem. Here's how it starts:
-=-
Awake, Romanian, from deadly slumber,
You've been thrown under by barbaric tyrants!
Now or never, weave yourself a different fate
Your cruel enemies would bow to, in reverence.
-=-
Now or never, let’s put out proof
Roman blood still flows in these veins,
And in our chests we proudly keep a name,
Triumphant in battles, a name of Trajan.
-=-
Ironically, even though our history and culture is deeply connected to Dacians, they are not mentioned in the anthem. Nowadays Dacia is a name that's become globally known because of the homonymous car brand.
Considering we, the present day Romanians, define ourselves as "those who speak Romanian" and the Romanian language being forged by the demographic mix of Dacians and Romans using the latter's Vulgar Latin as a backbone and weaving in influences from all over for about 1500 years, I'd say we're proof time somehow closes all wounds. A lot of time in this case but still.
Daca latină era limba romanilor, de ce italienii ,urmașii romanilor nu vorbesc latina ?
Noi nu venim din limba latină.Ea este o limbă moarta ,ptr că a fost vorbită de o anumită parte, evoluată a societății romane.Cand aceasta societate a dispărut, a dispărut și limba latină.
Pe teritoriul Daciei se vorbea o limbă indo europeană,care a evoluat odată cu civilizația din aceasta parte a Europei.A fost un proces de mii de ani.Puteti să spuneți de unde a părut limba latină?
Ce limba vorbeau romanii la anul 753 i.e.n ? Credeți că vorbeau latină ?😂
Eu nu cred.
Iar dacă există cca 300 de statui de daci,iar pe arcul de triumf al lui Constantin ,in sec IV e.n.apar figuri de daci,cum putem afirma că dacii au dispărut?
Acest video este o prostie, alții vor să ne facă să credem că românii au apărut din neant.
Greșit!
Dacii sunt strămoșii noștri,așa cum galii sunt strămoșii francezilor.
Salutari Dana din Germania. Am studiat in ultimi ani antichitate si pot sa iti dau cateva raspunsuri sau curiozitati.
Limba Romanilor este si a fost latina. Inca din ~800 bc. Limba lor a venit de la ei cu influente de la etrurians, greci, samnitici, si alti vecini.
Limba noastra a fost daca sau thraca. Inca avem cateva cuvinte ce provine de acolo precum batran sau viezure.
Dacii erau aproape aceeasi natie ca thraci, getii, carpii, si alte triburi.
Cultura distincta, Zeii distinctii, limba distincta.
Cand Romani ne-au cucerit, noi usor am adoptat latina. In prezent vorbim limba latina, cu influente enorme din limba daca, limbi slavice, maghiara si turca. Dar tot o limba latina este.
Daca Romanii ar fi aici, ei ne-ar intelege aproape 50% din tot ce zicem.
Limba italiana pe o parte, a provenit din latina, si ii cea mai apropriata de ea. Insa italiana a trecut prin multe etape. ( dominatie germana de secole, francezi etc. )
Italiana este latina vulgara, precum romana. Este ce a ramas din ea.
Noi avem sange de Romanii in noi ( Romanii au ramas aici si si-au facut familii, si n-au plecat niciodata ) , dar si sange de daci ( daci si restu triburilor precum thraci )
Suntem o natie de nobili, foarte drepti si bravi ( precum acum in 200 bc ), dar in acelasi timp si de alcoolici si lenesi.
Noi am fost assimilati de Romani, pe cand albanezii au ramas distinci ( ei vorbesc o limba din Illiria, nu o limba latina vulgara ).
Sper ca te-a ajutat!
@@danamunteanu3866Inca una, Dacii nu au disparut. Noi suntem ce au ramas din ei. Limba latina nu ii moarta. In lume sunt sute de meii care o vorbesc
In Biologie, Astronomie, Paleontologie, Religie, Medicina majoritatea cuvintelor sunt in latina.
Francezi sunt cea mai ramas din galezi. Insa ei nu sunt nativi. Francezi, au fost un trib german cu nume Franken. Ei au dominat Galia pentru mai mult de o mie de ani. Acum sunt assimilati cu ce a fost in Galia in 500 ad ( cand ei au invadat Galia )
Limba galeza ii una celtica precum irlandeza. Nu germana sau latina.
@@agrippa5643 nu sunt fericita cu ceea ce spui,ptr că în Italia sunt multe dialecte și o limbă oficială,italiana.
Cei din nord nu înțeleg limba celor din sud.
Pe când la noi,e tocmai invers,cineva din Baia Mare se înțelege cu altul din Constanța sau chiar din Chișinău.
Eu cred că a existat un hub al primelor popoare migratoare ,in zona Peninsulei Balcanice.
Populația de bază era reprezentată de traci, daci , geți.Ei au dezvoltat o limbă care a evoluat în limba română,iar cei care s,au deplasat spre Italia au creat limba latină.Desi dacii au fost influențați de romani,noi nu venim din limba latină și nici dacii nu au fost exterminați.
Asta este o teorie nedemonstrata .
the Dacians weren't exterminated, there were still 3 great dacian revolts after the roman conquest. The dacians existed as non latinized people at least untill the 3rd century as Galerius was recorded to have had a Dacian mother and Thracian father. they were eventually assimilated, but not exterminated
What extermination! Dacian soldiers were integrated into the Roman Army like many other countries that they have conquered. There is archaeological proof all over Europe demonstrating that.One of the many reasons that the country is called Romania and not Dacia is because many didn’t allow us to use the name because they thought that we may come and ask for territories that were inhabited by us since the age of the Romans. Transylvania is a exquisite example! Not mentioning the rest of the land.When history books are written by the victor and modern couch potato its easy to write whatever suits you without any proper research.
You are free to believe you are whoever you want to be. What I mean by “Dacian people” in the video are those who preserved their unique culture, identity, and religion. In that way, the Dacians were very much “exterminated” through Romanization through time - their tradition no longer exists. Hope that clears it up!
@@HistoriaMilitum
If you would have made your research prior of making this video…you would have seen that many Romanian so called pagan customs are far older than the arrival of Christianity and are dating from ancient times.From customs to habits to beliefs…etc But when your neighbors want you to do not have any national identity of course they will do whatever they can in order to distort historical facts so they can get another slice of your country like they did so far….So the Roman Empire sent their soldiers on an area bigger than 300000 square km in order to decimate an entire nation till the last one so they can repopulate it with Roman settlers. If after the fall of the Dacian Kingdom the ruling line was broken and we couldn’t regroup do to the bulls@#$it geographical location that we are and constant wars…..that doesn’t mean we didn’t exist and thrive.

"In AD 101...
war was beginning."
After many years of studying Romans and how they thought about the world i have realized "western civilization" as a whole adopted their way of thinking big time. We still to this day think of different cultures as barbarians and not worthy of life in the same time our western view as well as Romans view of "others" has deep roots in the culture of extreme fear and paranoia of being "invaded by barbarians" while in the same time westerners inflict heavy damage to everyone who is different not realizing its self fulfilling act of hate and disgust towards others that brings back the heat. West has never dealt with this extreme fear of others just like Romans, therefore eradicating someone makes them feel safer. In my view there is no worse coward in the world then someone fearing of others men children, we can see this in endless colonial wars as well as modern newest example of middle east tensions i cant name that country or my comment will get deleted, but we know who i talk about.
But the west was invaded countless times after the romans, the arabs, the mongols, the vikings.
You think they adopted their way of thinking but it was not, it was an existential crisis.
If you look at the map of the Roman Empire you can clearly see how it lost half of the territories to “barbarians”, like egypt, north africa, anatolia etc.
Even England became Anglo-Saxon, Galia became Francia and now France and so on
@@AleXcsGaming Many different people fought for dominance and freedom or simply glory. But none have developed such deep fear and paranoia of "others". Even Mongols that were known for cruel treatment of enemies did not exterminate someone, because of hate and racism, but they rather were principled with someone that broke their moral code. And instead of destroying entire enemy they incorporated them with enthusiasm. China that was by far the most dominant power in the Asia and in 5 000 years of defending against "barbarians" even building such great walls did not develop need to exterminate others. But Rome did. Germans did. English did. Americans did. Spanish did. French did. Israel did. Westerners have developed ideology to support fear factor and racism. Europeans went on such killing spree around the globe that until 19th century there was no place on Earth left untouched by their guns and need for subjugating "others". There is a reason all continents, but Asia and middle east speak European language.
@@salonez91cope and seeth, also you are wrong the mongol wanted to kill all chinese
The Dacians were not exterminated. Becoming Roman citizens, they entered the administration and management of the empire.
Roman Emperors of Dacian origin.
---Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor in history. It was born south of the Danube, in Naissus in Dacia Mediterranea province of which Naissus was the capital (now, on the Serbian territory), then Moesia Superior. His father, Emperor Constantius Chlorus, was from Naissus. In 325, during the reign of the council of Nicaea, Naissus attested a bishop called "Dacus".
Dacian presence south of the Danube, both before and after the conquest of Dacia, is undeniable. So Constantine was exactly a Moeso-Dacian.
----Galerius Maximinus.
Galerius Valerius Maximianus was born in the year 250 (245 according to some authors), in the village Romulianum of Dacia Ripensis not far from the city of Sardica (now Sofia). His father was a Thracian and mother Romula, was a Dacian, refugee for some reason, north of the Danube, from Dacia Traiana in the south. According to Lactantius, (250-325) Galerius king has said his Dacian origin and was declared an enemy of the Roman name. He proposed to change the name of the Roman Empire to Dacian Empire, moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Thessaloniki.
----Regalianus..great-grandson of the king Decebalus.
----Aureolus.
Byzantine historian Zonaras says about him: "Aureolus was of the Getae country, later called Dacia, the first, pastor..
----Licinius Roman Imperator, was born in Moesia Superior, in a peasant family from Dacia.
---- Maximinus II Daia -was born on 20 November AD 270 in the Danubian region as the son of a sister of Galerius a Dacian Emperor of Rome.
As always , great work ! What is stunning , and explained by nobody , how Romans became the italians - the most despised military force ( soldiers ) by all 19th and 20th generals , from Napoleon onward ?
I mean, there is about a 1500-year time gap between Italians and Romans. That's quite a long history to cover. But to sum it all up, Italy has had a lot of bad luck when it comes to military campaigns. Perhaps this is why they are remembered so unfavorably. It was also a relatively young country, which may explain why it lacked experience in military matters.
In Notitia Dignitatum the Dacians are attested in c. 400 AD in Scythia Minor still i.e. "Conferat ergo lector clipeos
lanceariorum seniorum (V 2) et iuniorum (VI 7) , Iouia-
norum Herculianorumque iuniorum (V 3; 4) et seniorum
(Oc. V 2; 3), mattiariorum iuniorura (Or. V 7) et senio-
rum (VI 2) , Dacorum et Scythorum et (Sarmatarum) Re-
giorum (VI 3 ; 4 ; 8) "
While comparing the different emblems of the legions it mentions "the Dacians, Scythians and (Sarmatians) of the regions". Because Sarmatians are mentioned as well this is proof that Dacian and Scythian doesn't stand for the inhabitants of the Roman provinces of Dacia (Aureliana) and Sctythia Minor but actual ethnicities as there was no Roman province named Sarmatia so it can only be about ethnicity.
Another proof that the the Dacians weren't entirely annihilated is that Constantine the Great gained the title Dacicus Maximus in 336 AD while campaigning North of the Danube.
Prob the most painful cliffhanger ever
Esta novela está buena. Me volví a ver el capítulo, y ya espero el siguiente 😅
I'm descended from Dacians. We're not gone. We improvised, adapted, overcame. Some of us have forgotten the langauge and speak Slavic descendant languages, others Romance languages, but we're here, hiding in plain sight. You just have to look into the genetic studies to understand we werent exterminated.
Excellent

Existence?
Rome's Dacia crumbled 200 years under the descendants of Ostrogotha and Pieporus and the Apuli dacian tribe. After Aurelian's retreat, all the romans were slaughthered and Sarmisegetuza Regia was reclaimed and Ulpia Traiana sacked, left with less then 100 inhabitants. The Romanian folk have been romanized through Christianity in the Gothic relam, especialy Ulfila's efort of bringing Arianism to the Dacians that had to obey the Gothic Arian church and not the Zalmoxian priests.
Great vieeo
BANNA ! The Dacians Fort on the wall of Hadrian. Banna-Birdoswald, Britannia-UK.
BANNA - In Northumbria - the largest and oldest fort of the sixteen inscribed along the wall, the best preserved, with most vestiges, the only inhabited, and after the breakdown of the Roman empire, long after, by the descendants of those soldiers coming from Dacia . Banna! ... Birdoswald, as the Englishmen baptized it .
This fortress was built and inhabited by 1000 soldiers from COHORS I AELIA DACORUM , recruited by the Roman Emperor Hadrian from Dacia ( actual Romania) at 120-125 AC , to fight against Scottish, Iuti and Picti from the north. After the Dacian wars (101-102 and 105-106), the Roman Empire used Dacian cohorts (military units of 500-1000 soldiers) throughout the Empire, archaeological discoveries pointing to their presence both in the United Kingdom today and in Turkey .
'' '' They were remarkable warriors. They fought without fear of death and died laughing because they believed that their souls were immortal. The title "Aelia" itself was a great honor, for it derives from the entire name of Emperor Hadrian, a name that could be won only because of a military or cultural service out of the ordinary. At first they were sent to the Wall, in an outpost called Bewcastle, to fight first with the barbarian tribes. Send somehow to the sacrifice. At a fort located in an open, wilderness, without a wall, without forests, without anything around. That, precisely because they knew their courage and devotion in the fight. They were supposed to die, but they did not die. Then they came here to Banna, and they lived here until the end. They got lands, rights, ranks. They have remained forever there in their city. Yes. They were undoubtedly among the best fighters brought here to fight at Hadrian's wall. These are facts, certainties, "says

The Dacians, the Romanians ancestors..

"Nice" to be taught your own history

You could say Quietus advanced “Quietly”
I understand the casual use of words doesn't have to fully overlap with basic semantics but it would be nice not to use words so willy nilly in a video supposed to be educational.
Rome was never a superpower, and the unified Dacian polity at its peak wasn't even a proper regional one, largely due to the roman involvement (thanks to an emperor who finally mustered the political will to actually risk gathering a strong force capable of easily over throwing him in one place after a period when it was considered to be an asinine, suicidal idea).
You should in "part three" in the title :
What a fantastic video, one of your best!😎🔥⚔
Thank you 🙌
Salve Optimus Princeps
Externinated? 😂 They never been exterminated, some of the Roman emperors were dacians lol
hi what happened to the merch store?
Werent the Bastarnae Thracians, not Dacians?
neither ancient writers have called them celtic, germanic and even scythian
Bastarnae weren't neither of them, arguably not even Costoboci. And sometimes even Carpi have been identified as a Sarmatian/Scythian tribe.
@@InAeternumRomaMater You talk like a Hungarian, what are your sources? Roman sources clearly say the Dacians and Thracians spoke the same language and the Carpi and Costoboci were Dacian tribes.
@@RhiannonSenpai Some have identified them as Germanic, and the Carpi has Sarmatians. And I never argued against the fact that Dacii spoke the same language as the Thracians, they were literally a Thracian tribe. And don't come here with the "yOu sPeAk lIkE a HuNgArIaN😵💫" type of bs.
