Dacia

After Burebista the kingdom split; the line of kings at Sarmizegetusa Regia in the Orăștie Mountains (Deceneus, Comosicus, Scorilo, Duras) kept the Carpathian core, and Decebalus (87–106) reunited the Dacians, fought Domitian and Trajan, and lost the kingdom in Trajan's second war (105–106). Decebalus' realm was roughly the Transylvanian plateau, the Banat to the Tisza, Oltenia and Muntenia to the Danube; between 44 BC and AD 87 the eastern and northern parts were held by separate Dacian rulers, and Moldavia beyond the Carpathians belonged to free Dacians and Bastarnae.
