Who was Decebalus?
Decebalus was a king of Dacia and is famous for fighting three wars and negotiating two interregnums of peace without being eliminated against the Roman Empire under two emperors. In the later short peace granted by Trajan, Decebalus continued to act as an independent king, rather than a conquered client, and repeatedly annoyed or infuriated the Romans.
Consequently, the Legions under Trajan's orders went on the offensive again in 105 AD, reducing the Dacian capital Sarmizegetusa in 106.
