Geto-Dacians and Romans - Summary

Hello dear readers! As I said last week, today we have the summary study of peoples that formed the Romanian people. And for not filling you up to much with this, I will be sort enough but concise too.

Therefore speak primarily Geto-Dacians who ruled the land of present-day Romania and even more with the borders the Black Sea to the east Bug, Quadrilateral Bohemia and Moravia Danube Basin to the west, north and Mount Wooded Carpathians Haemus (chain Balkan) south. They were organized into tribes until the formation of Dacia under Burebista kingdom with its capital located at Sarmizegetusa. Like most ancient peoples and Geto-Dacian people had a polytheistic religion and the supreme deity was Zamolxis. With sufficient natural resources, Geto-Dacian people grew well in economically and militarily, the d feared even the Roman Empire.

The Romans, however, could not allow the existence of another nation with which to divide the world, so after two military campaigns in force (101-102 and 105-106) carried out under the command of Emperor Trajan succeeded in defeating and submit people Geto- DAC.

Then came the inevitable Roman rule. Even if it occupies a relatively short period (107 - 271/276), Dacia province was perhaps the most intense colonization by people from all the provinces of the empire. Clearly, under this employment, Romans imposed administrative law, Latin and Roman culture they brought with them, leaving little place for keeping Dacian heritage.

Faced with the grave situation in the provinces of Spain and Gaul, which separated from the Roman Empire and proclaimed their a king Celtic and Balkan provinces devastated by the Goths, Teutons Carpi other, Aurelian (270-275) and the remaining troops withdrew administration former province of Dacia Traiana, and Roman citizens settled south of the Danube in Moesia, Dacia creating Aureliana, then divided Ripensis Dacia, near the Danube, the capital Ratiaria (now Arcear in Bulgaria) and Dacia Mediterranea, with its capital at Serdica (now Sofia, capital of Bulgaria). Thus was the first Roman province Dacia abandoned, and perhaps the first step towards dismantling the Roman Empire.

Although the Romans withdrew, their legacy remains and thus was born the Romanian people.

And here's how we finally managed to finish and this chapter.

God bless you!
