Zeke Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 HERE IS SOME HANDY INFO ON THE LITTLE KNOWN HISTORY OF THE ROMAN PROVINCE OF DACIA. Dacia, in ancient geography the land of the Daci or Getae, was a large district of Central Europe, bounded on the north by the Carpathians, on the south by the Danube, on the west by the Tisa (Tisza river, in Hungary), on the east by the Tyras (Dniester or Nistru, now in eastern Moldova). It thus corresponds in the main to modern Romania and Moldova. The capital of Dacia was Sarmisegetusa. The inhabitants of this district are considered as belonging to the Thracian stock. The Dacians were known as Getae (pl. Geton) in Greek writings, and as Dacus (pl. Daci) and Getae in Roman documents; also as Dagae and Gaete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thank you Zeke, excellent stuff, sorry I hadn't noticed this earlier I don't see any mention of the falx, which of course was not only a distinctive weapon for the Dacians, but had a significant impact on legionary gear.
