Topic: Roman Dacia


  
  Dacia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dacia, in ancient geography the land of the Daci, named by the ancient Greeks Getae, was a large district of Central Europe, bounded on the north by the Carpathians, on the south by the Danube, on the west by the Tisa, on the east by the Tyras or Nistru, now in eastern Moldova.
The Roman Province Dacia is represented on Roman Sestertius (coin) as a woman seated on a rock, holding aquila, a small child on her knee holding ears of grain, and a small child seated before her holding grapes.
A kingdom of Dacia was in existence at least as early as the beginning of the 2nd century BC under a king, Oroles.

The crisis that shook the Roman Empire in the 3rd century, as well as the pressure exerted by the "Barbarian" populations, made Emperor Aurelianus (A.D. 270-275) withdraw his troops, administrative body and part of the urban population from Dacia southward, across the Danube (A.D. 271), where Dacia Aureliana was set up.
Their main occupation was the cultivation of land and the breeding of animals; their Roman ancestry is still reflected in the Romanian language, as the names of the chief occupations and farm products in Romanian are of Latin origin.

 Vlachs
Since the 19th century the Rumanian historians traditionally claim the Vlachs to be descendants of the ancient Romans who in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD occupied Dacia, a Roman province located in the regions of Transylvania and the Carpathian Mountains of modern Romania.
Another theory suggests that their ancestors were a Thracian tribe, native to the Roman province of Dacia, which intermarried with the Roman colonists and assimilated their language and culture.
After the Romans evacuated Dacia (AD 271), the area was subjected to a series of barbarian invasions.
