===Construction=== {{See also|Dacian Fortresses of the Orăştie Mountains|Murus dacicus}} Dacians had developed the [[murus dacicus]] (double-skinned ashlar-masonry with rubble fill and tie beams) characteristic to their complexes of fortified cities, like their capital [[Sarmizegetusa Regia]] in what is today [[Hunedoara County]], Romania.{{sfn | Taylor | 2001 | pp=214–215}} This type of wall has been discovered not only in the Dacian citadel of the Orastie mountains, but also in those at [[Dacian fortress of Covasna|Covasna]], [[Dacian fortress of Breaza|Breaza]] near [[Făgăraș]], [[Dacian fortress of Tilișca|Tilișca]] near [[Sibiu]], [[Dacian fortress of Căpâlna|Căpâlna]] in the [[Sebeș]] valley, [[Dacian fortress of Bănița|Bănița]] not far from [[Petroșani]], and [[Apulon|Piatra Craivii]] to the north of [[Alba Iulia]].{{sfn | Applebaum | 1976 | p=91 }} The degree of their urban development was displayed on [[Trajan's Column]] and in the account of how Sarmizegetusa Regia was defeated by the Romans. The Romans were given by treachery the locations of [[aqueduct (watercourse)|aqueducts]] and [[Pipeline transport|pipelines]] of the Dacian capital, only after destroying the water supply being able to end the long siege of Sarmisegetuza.
