Roman retire

Hello dear readers! Today, in the beginning of a new week we again have part of a history lesson, more specific about Roman retire from Dacia.

Roman rule the province was difficult, some historians claiming that the Roman Dacia there was no year without conflicts with neighboring tribes not subject to Rome. It is said that Hadrian, aware of the difficulty of maintaining, thought about abandoning the province, but what made him give up the thought was definitely Roman colonists of that region.

Since 234, a series of events weaken the power of Rome. Legions of Pannonia proclaimed its own king, Maximinus Thrax in 236 (the first Roman Emperor barbarian origin) is in continuous wars Dacians and Sarmatians, eventually being killed by their own troops, between 238 to 251 Goths and Carpi undertake a campaign devastating raids on Roman province of Dacia and Moesia, besieging cities located deep in the Balkans and destabilizing the Roman Empire - the first Roman emperor Decius is dying on the battlefield. Romans during the reign of Gallienus Dacia lose control in front of the Goths and Carpi, except for fortifications between Timis river and the Danube. Not know the details of the situation in the province of Dacia, just a statement of Rufius Festus' during Emperor Gallienus Dacia was lost "and stop sudden inscriptions and coins of Dacia in 256 novels attest disintegration Roman administration in the province of Dacia.

Goth historian Jordanes in his work of 551 Getica (sending Actibusque Getarum) describes them as descendants of the Getae Goths Burebista and Deceneus This is explained by some historians with phonetic approximation of the two words.

Faced with the serious situation in the provinces of Spain and Gaul, which had seceded from the Roman Empire and proclaimed their a king Celtic and Balkan provinces devastated by the Goths, Teutons Carpi and other, Aurelian (270-275) and the remaining troops withdrew administration former province of Dacia Traiana, and established Roman citizens south of the Danube in Moesia, Dacia creating Aureliana (Dacia Aurelian), 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 province Roman Dacia abandoned, and perhaps the first step towards dismantling the Roman Empire.

After retire, Roman territories were part of the former province of Dacia Visigoth kingdom. In the fourth century, they were expelled to western Europe European Hun invasions. In 332, Emperor Constantine initiated construction of Danube Bridge linking the Eastern Roman Empire of ancient Dacia, and a campaign has awarded the title of dacicus. Probably one of the last mention in documents of "if" belong to the Greek historian Zosimos, who in the fifth century mentions a tribe called him "carpo-Dacians" tribe defeated the Byzantine Empire.

And here we arrived at the end with study of antiquity, following that next week to do a brief recap, and over two weeks to give way to a new chapter.

God bless you!
