Roman rule - Part II

Hello dear readers! Today we continue with the lesson about Roman rule.

To remove the threat created to pacify the area, Hadrian moving the Danube in 117. There Roxolaa offers subsidies and are able to stop attacks from them. There is also the possibility that abandonment of southern Wallachia and Moldavia, undertaken by Hadrian, to be made to enable Roxolaa to settle in these areas. Next is to defeat the Emperor lazygians Q.Marcius Turbo station grants generally experienced that pent uprisings in Egypt and Cyrenaica, an exceptional command of Dacia and Pannonia Inferior. Difficulty with which these attacks were rejected made clear that Dacia requires a new organization, a division to do it more defensible. This reorganization took place probably in the year 118, with the crushing lazygians.

Although complete abandonment dropped the plan of the province and successfully rejected as barbaric attacks for Hadrian was evident that a new organization. In fact, he returned to Augustus's political conception "a defense policy within existing boundaries." It seems that initially were created from territories that belonged to Dacia Lower Moesia Inferior: East of Oltenia and probably southeastern Transylvania and Dacia Superior including Transylvania, Banat and Oltenia. The first mention of Dacia Superior is a military diploma dated 29 June 120, which implies the existence of Dacia Inferior. It is assumed, however, that this organization has done something sooner, probably along with the defeat lazygians, so around 118-119 years. As mentioned before, South Muntenia and Moldova had been abandoned by the time of concluding peace with Roxolans. The biggest problems are made regarding the reorganization of Dacia Porolissensis. A military diploma of 10 august 123, discovered at Gherla is given for three auxiliary units in the province. This is the first mention of Dacia Porolissensis. Historians opinions diverge. John I. Russu consider Dacia Porolissensis separation was made between 120-123, which can not exist before the year 120 when, on 29 June, two military diploma found at Porolissum and Caseiu speak Dacia Superior. Therefore, this measure, unable to be attributed to the Turbo, would likely be a political as military governor of Emperor Hadrian and Dacia Superior, Julius Severus. On the other hand, M.Barbulescu believe that the new province would be created once the Dacia Superior and Inferior and probably no later than the year 119, they create perfect enrolling in the king's reorganization process. However that may be, this province was formed from the northern part of the former province of Dacia, Aries and Mures to education. Given that Legion IV Flavia Felix was transferred to Singidunum in Dacia Superior remains a single legion, the XIII Gemina, which means that the governor of the province would be from now praetorian rank. Initially, Dacia and Dacia Inferior Porolissensis, with no legion will be headed by a procurator Augusti. As mentioned, the purpose of creating the three provinces was to facilitate the defense of the borders of the Empire, too stretched by the way. As stated John I. Russu, this reorganization is "as evidence of Roman control intensified in this area and the need to strengthen the defense Dacia through auxiliary corps".

Especially Porolissensis Dacia was a bastion of defense filed Empire, providing the very beginning of an army, as mentions degree from Gherla. Significant is the move later Legion of Macedonia will in this province, the Potaissa.

This organization will last until the time of Marcus Aurelius Dacia will turn into a unitary body, the new province of Dacia, dividing it into three financial districts: Dacia Apulensis, Malvensis Dacia Dacia Porolissensis headed by a governor consularis Trium Daciarum.

In 212, the Roman emperor Caracalla declared by decree called "Constitutio Antoniniana" the inhabitants of Dacia Roman citizens, along with all other citizens of the Roman Empire.

The names of several cohorts recruited from Dacia, stationed in Britain to Birdoswald at Chester and Vindolanda, in Armenia, the Balkans, in Cappadocia and other Roman provinces.

Enough for today! God bless you!
