===Dacian Wars===

{{Main|Trajan's Dacian Wars}}Trajan's Dacian Wars (101–102 AD, 105–106 AD)  were two military campaigns fought between the Roman Empire and [[Dacia]] during [[Roman Emperor|Emperor]] [[Trajan]]'s rule. The conflicts were triggered by the constant Dacian threat on Moesia and also by the increasing need for resources of the economy of the Empire. 

Starting with AD 85, Dacia was unified under [[Decebalus|King Decebalus]]. Following an incursion into Moesia, which resulted in the death of its governor, [[Gaius Oppius Sabinus]], a series of conflicts between the Romans and Dacians ensued. Although the Romans gained a major strategic victory at [[Tapae]] in AD 88, [[Domitian|Emperor Domitian]] offered the Dacians favourable terms, in exchange for which Roman suzerainty was recognised. However, Emperor Trajan restarted the conflicts in 101-102 and then again in 105–106, which ended with the [[annexation]] of most of Dacia and its reorganisation as a Roman Province.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-03 |title=Dacia {{!}} Europe, Map, Culture, & History {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Dacia |access-date=2024-10-13 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref>
