Description
What does Trajan's Column tell us about ancient Romania and Transylvania? Phillip II, father of Alexander the Great, failed because of the intransigent people of the Dacians. The Romans also had to fight hard in the western Black Sea region until they were able to establish the province of Dacia in 106 AD. The joy lasted only two centuries, but the Roman victory shows its effects to this day. With his book, Kai Brodersen, one of the best experts on the subject, fills a gap in research. He confidently spans the arc from pre-Roman settlement through the Dacian Wars to the short period as a Roman province.
Between the Carpathians, the Danube and the Black Sea: comprehensive account of the history of ancient Dacia. How did the Dacians live in the two hundred years before the Romans and how did it become a Roman province? Sarmizegetusa, Alba Iulia and Drobeta-Turnu Severin: overview of ancient sites and detailed analysis of Greco-Roman sources. Why Romania, Romnia, has the Romans in its name: Effects of intensive Romanisation. What remained? Dealing with the Roman heritage in modern history. What does Trajan's Column tell us about ancient Romania and Transylvania? Romania and Transylvania are rich in archaeological finds. Moreover, the frieze of Trajan's Column in Rome shows the subjugation of the Dacians by the Romans in 115 scenes. But what do all the inscriptions, coins and ancient literary sources say? What were their contacts with the Greeks, Persians and Macedonians like? Why did the Roman Empire give up its gold-rich province of Dacia so quickly? Kai Brodersen, professor of ancient culture and editor of the book series "Geschichte kompakt. Antike" series, deals with all these topics with an impressive density of sources in his fluently readable comprehensive account.
