Deep within the wild and mysterious Carpathian Mountains of modern day Romania, nestled upon a series of hillsides, lie the ruins of an ancient metropolis that reached its heyday nearly two thousand years ago. It’s name was Sarmisegetuza, and it's from this great mountain stronghold that Decebalus, the last king of the Dacia, masterminded his wars against the Romans...

I admire Romanians ability to give huge headaches to any invaders

[turcanudan]

Actually Burebista didn’t just unify the Dacian states, he also counquered most of the Celtic tribes and some nearby land

[Player-remo]

I want to see an action movie about daco-roman wars . It will be more interesting than those movies about roman soldiers fighting brits .

[simionescugeorgeta]

Glory to the Dacian generals adorned on Constantine`s Arch in Rome. Never forgotten!

[lekkki]

I have read that Ancient Dacia was the primary source of gold for the ancient "Mediterranean" world. I also saw a history video that indicated the area(s) Dacia once occupied are still loaded with gold. Pretty sure it's one of the reasons the Romans wanted to take it so much.

[kitschypea]

My name is Dacia. My mom named me after people she read about in a history textbook, so I've always been interested in this.

[ypkklxk]

did you knew that before Trajan came to power, Romans were forced to pay tribute to Dacians just to pass near the Danube river?

[decabalusinvictus]

This is wrong, I faked my own death, as I if I would ever lose...

[masismasis]

🇲🇩As MANOWAR said once, "Feel the Power of My Sword!" 🇲🇩 HAIL to DECEBAL! Thank you very much for this video

[RevanTrajan]

Good work man! This is probably my favorite historical war. Good brief overview of Decabalus and the Dacian Wars. Keep up the good work.

[PeopleProfiles]

Top notch stuff! Decebalus was an undoubted bad-ass!

[stefanSS]

After conquering Dacia, Trajan brought back Decebal's treasury - 330 tons of Silver and 160 tons of gold, with which he rebuilt Rome, the capital and built the Column of Trajan.

[airconditioning]

You forgot to mention the huge head someone sculpted in a mountain of decebalus it looks amazing honestly.

[miamianz]

ive always loved the name Dacian didnt know it was romanian. its always meant somethin to me dont know why. i never heard it before i knew what it meant .

[stephenfrankland]

I live in a village in Bulgaria which contains the ruins of Nicopolis ad Istrum, the city founded by Trajan to celebrate his victory over the Dacian.

[ip]

I freaking love your channel! So much more detailed than others!

[mirceapintelie]

Actually Decebalus was a nickname given to him by the romans meaning strong as ten people- dece+baal..his actual name was Diurpaneus

[adrianmunteanu]

God bless Romania 🇷🇴 Pace and Love around the world 🇷🇴

[marinazagrai]

The name "Decebalus" is Romanized since it actually is spelled "Decebal". Very concise and well done!
