Description
This intriguing book describes the Romans' formidably warlike enemies
in modern Romania and Bulgaria – their 'most illustrated' opponents,
thanks to friezes on Trajan's Column and carvings on Trajan's Adamklissi
monument.Formidable warriors, able to field tens of thousands of
infantry and cavalry and led by a military aristocracy, the Dacians and
Getae presented a real threat to Rome's north-eastern frontier. They
inflicted several defeats on Rome, crossing the Danube to invade the
province of Moesia, and later stubbornly resisting counter-invasions
from their strong mountain fortresses.Historians believe that the
Dacians and Getae were essentially the same group of tribes during
successive periods, related to Thracian tribes from territory south of
the Carpathian Mountains, but their exact relationship in place and time
is a subject for debate. Those called the 'Getae' by ancient Greek
sources were actively expanding by at least the 4th century BC; some
enlisted as mercenaries in Roman armies during the 1st century BC, and
others later clashed with the army of Augustus, fighting alongside the
Sarmatians. The people whom the Romans called the 'Dacians' are best
known from wars against the emperors Domitian in AD 85–89 and Trajan in
101–106. At their peak, the Dacians and Getae defeated neighbouring
peoples stretching from modern Slovakia to southern Ukraine and it is
believed that the effectiveness of their weapons caused modifications in
Roman infantry armour. Although most direct ancient sources have been
lost to us, enough references remain to reconstruct a picture of their
society and culture. Using previously unseen photos of archaeological
finds with colour illustrations showing the appearance and weaponry of
their warrior kings, noblemen, infantry and cavalry, this detailed book
draws upon the latest literary and archaeological research to provide a
complete account of these fascinating fighters.
