AN ASPECT OF THE ROMAN STRATEGY DURING THE SECOND WAR AGAINST THE DACIANS

(Summary)

The authors analyse the situation after the first Dacian-Roman war (101-102), when the romans occupied the territories outside the Carpathians. It was there that they installed numerous troops from walley basins of the main rivers in camp fortifications.

According to the last researches there can be proved that a similar situation was to be found in Southern Moldavia where a Campaign Roman castellum was discovered in Galati (the Dunärea district). According to Hunt’s papyrus, there existed, at Poiana (Piroboridava) a sub-unit from cohors I Hispanorum veterana quingenaria equitata. The papyrus has been recently dated bock jear 105 A.D- These amplecements of the roman army laid side of the attack direction of the Dacian Kingdom on the eastern side of the Carpatians where the Romans come the valley of the Trotus and Oituz rivers towards Angustia. It was there than the cohors I Hispanorum built a Castrum where they stayed for several yeurs.

The distance covered during the second Dacian-Roman war remained a linking way between the Inferior Moesia and the Roman Dacia.
