Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on ancient history and history of Rome and the Roman Empire continues with a video in which we discuss why Rome conquered Dacia. Why did Emperor Trajan invade Dacia—and did its legendary gold rescue the Roman Empire? This documentary follows Rome’s long struggle with the Dacian kingdom, from Burebista and Julius Caesar to Decebalus, Domitian, and the decisive Dacian Wars of 101–102 and 105–106 AD. Discover how a humiliating peace treaty, a dangerous frontier, imperial politics, and a cash-strapped Roman treasury pushed Trajan toward conquest. We explore Dacia’s mountain fortresses, formidable warriors, vast gold and silver deposits, and the campaign that ended with the fall of Sarmizegetusa. Then we trace what happened next: the treasure that funded Roman building projects, the creation of Dacia Felix, rapid colonization, mining in Transylvania, and the province’s growing strategic importance. But Rome’s richest conquest came with a cost. As invasions intensified and the empire entered the Crisis of the Third Century, Dacia became increasingly difficult to defend. Emperor Aurelian finally withdrew Roman forces and administration in the 270s. Was Dacia Rome’s greatest prize—or an expensive strategic trap? Watch to the end for the full rise, conquest, prosperity, and abandonment of Roman Dacia, and decide whether Trajan’s most celebrated victory was truly worth it.
