Roman rule

Hello and welcome to a new history lesson! Today I will present you some of the Roman rule, following that next Monday to continue with the second and the withdrawal of Roman.

Roman province of Banat and Transylvania Dacia included. Other regions of the former Dacian kingdom province Moesia were either included or remained free of Roman rule. XIII Gemina Legion and Legion Macedonica, with numerous auxiliary troops in camps stationary in Alba Iulia and Potaissa. Settlers in all the Roman provinces were brought in Dacia. Dacians also run in many other parts of Dacia returned.

Three military roads were built to connect major cities, while a fourth, called "Trajan", cross the Carpathians and into Transylvania Turnu Red Pass.

The main towns of the province were Ulpia Colonia Traiana (now Sarmizegetusa, Hunedoara County), Apulum (now Alba Iulia, Alba) Napoca (now Cluj-Napoca, Cluj) and Potaissa (today Turda, Cluj)

Roman language is considered a Romance language. Also, even if it was occupied for a short period (107 - 271/276), Dacia province was perhaps the most intense colonization by people from all the provinces of the empire, and Latin emerged as a lingua franca, the process is similar In some ways, the European colonization of the United States and Latin America.

While both structures were part of the Roman Empire, the territories north of the Danube had more administrative organization, whether it was simple divisions, whether different territories were abandoned. One of the major reorganization took place during Emperor Hadrian, reorganization can be framed in a broader context of the crisis of the Roman Empire and the abandonment Asian territories conquered by Trajan.

Decebal is finally defeated in 106 by the Roman troops and a large part of the territory run by it is transformed into a Roman province. Trajan remains a time for it to organize the new province. Thus, it gives a lex Provinciaal which probably fixed form of organization, management, border troops and taxes.

Since 102, the peace concluded with Decebal Romans are assigned Muntenia, southern Moldova, Oltenia possibly eastern and south-eastern Transylvania to be embedded province of Moesia Inferior that will be part until the death of Trajan. It is possible that all 102 have been year created a Roman military district under the leadership of Longinus and consisted of Banat, Oltenia and Southern Transylvania. Formed in 106 Dacia itself, including West Oltenia, Banat and most of Transylvania. It is organized as an imperial province, which is explained by the fact that Empire is right at the border. It will be led by a Legatus Augusti pro Praetoria especially the senatorial order and the position of consul met first. Once established organization of new provinces, its pacification was achieved relatively quickly, which is proved by monetary issue since 112, when Dacia Capture legend becomes significant, Dacia Augusti Province. In 117 Emperor Trajan, who was proclaimed Princes Optimus dies. Hadrian succeeds to the throne, whose main information about life controversial series of biographies from Augusta history. As noted Dan Ruscu, Hadrian's life belongs to the first group of vitae "which indicates a high degree of real and credible information." Author of the chapter on Hadrian's life is Spartianus. Hadrian's reign begins in difficult conditions. Thus, he is forced to abandon the Asian territories conquered by Trajan and that had not been pacified. It is easy to imagine the light put this action against some of his contemporaries, who saw in Trajan the best of princes considered him unworthy successor Hadrian. A passage of Eutropius talk about that in the context of abandonment Asian provinces, in conjunction with Iazyges attacks and Roxolaa of Dacia, Hadrian had to abandon the idea and the province, an idea to which he gave the advice "friends" that motivated its too many Roman citizens would remain at the mercy of barbarians. More important than the fact that this intention existed or not is what results from the text of Eutropius, namely that "unlike the provinces beyond the Euphrates, Dacia had advanced organization and a large number of settlers."

That was the day! The rest you will find out next week.

God bless you!
