In ancient times, on the territory found southwest of Dacia after the conquest A. Caecina Severus was endowed by the governor of Macedonia, as Μυσιας were formed two military ground alignments Lederata–Tibiscum and Dierna– άρχων and in this quality he defeated the barbarians from Pannonia at Sirmium, Tibiscum, along with two other along the Danube between Banatska Palanka– but because Dacians and Sarmaths attacked, he had to leave the battlefield – as Dio Dierna and Drobeta on Mureş river, far less conclusive currently, the one from Casssius (LV, 30) relates. He turned to the territories where the new invasion Bulci–Micia. The fortifications have attracted the attention of specialists further- occurred in order to reject the attack. At that moment, the legatus of Macedonia more as they were backed by earth walls marking the boundaries and thus protected province was identified as Sex. Aelius Catus. At the beginning of the following the province. year, in 7 A.D, Caecina Severus found on the territory of future Moesia province The most majority of the studies have emerged in postwar period through the will follow the attackers in barbaricum and will find himself caught in the Volceene establishment of new museums in Reşiţa and Caransebeş alongside Timişoara and marshes where he settled camp. This place was not specified so far, but it could be Arad, thus increasing the number of archaeologists concerned with research in the related with the marshes found around Tisza River. With some military efforts, area. The most important researches have been conducted by Professor M. Macrea, Caecina Severus, managed to get out of this situation. The territory reffered to in D. Protase, N. Gudea, following in the last decades the Banat museums specialists, the quotation, can be the one considered barbarian and was situated north of the as Ovidiu Bozu and the author of this work together with the autorship of the Western river, between Tisza and Danube. This quotation is presented in regard to the way University. Moreover, preventive work triggered by certain modern constructions, in which the Roman army was divided, their aim being to attack from different either for utilities or highways have helped to identify and even unveil residential directions the barbarians. This could be the moment when, another important event complexes found both on the province territory and outside it. So far the research is for the relation between Romans and Dacian-Getae occured. It is the highly far from offering a complex view of the entire ancient habitat. debated issue of Aelius Catus expedition that led to the movement of 50.000 Getae Daco-Roman preliminaries. At the beginning of the first century A.D the north of the Danube river, on the territory of future Moesia province. We notice formation of the Roman border on the south bank of the Danube brought into direct that Strabon (VII, 3, 10) remains the singular literary source. political and military contact the Roman Empire and the north-Danubian Dacian Referring to the place where they deployed the Getae, quasi-unanimous opinion world, right in the south-west sector of it. The beginnings of the military organisation in modern historiography from V. Pârvan and R. Vulpe and continuing until of that territory were the result of two military campaigns undertaken by the recently, C.C Petolescu appreciated that displaced populations came from cities Roman legatus of Macedonia, Marcus Licinius Crassus between 29–28 B.C., when and settlements in the Plain of Wallachia (Zimnicea, Popeşti, Piscul Crăsani etc.). most of the indigenous population of Moesia was pacified and was no longer For a correct understanding of this event first of all we should consider the international considered a significant military threat. Thus, it is well known that general C. Cn. context and where it took place. The Getae displacement south of the Danube Lentulus initiated the organisation of the first praesidia – on the right Danube bank, occurred in an area where the uprising of Dalmatians and Pannonians against the in order to have better navigation controll, and also for the minute surveillance of Roman army took place. Or, it could be only in the corresponding southern Banat Dacians. The name Cotiso as Dacians king during Augustus, appears in the famous and the plain between Tisza and Danube (today Bačka in Serbia) found first in inscription – last will of the emperor, entitled Res Gestae divi Augusti (XXXX, 2) direct contact with the Romanian-world in our opinion. Moreover, the building an indirect clue on the importance the Dacian king had in his contacts with the start of a road along the Danube allowed the close supervision of the north bank of Romans. The residence of Dacian king Cotiso was found in Sebeş mountains, we the Danube remade several times for several decades in the first century A.D. can not rule out the possibility that its capital was found somewhere in the mountains of Banat, from where access to the Danube was free and much easier to * achieve precisely in the sector found in front of Cazane. One can suppose that the Dacian incursion occurred sometime in the year 16 A.D (following an invasion of The conquest of Dacia. A special Dacian incursion of great magnitude the Scordisci) or in 11 A.D (after the defeat of the uprising Thracians). However, occurred in the winter of 85/86, an event that determined in conditions remaining when the revolt of Dallmats and Pannonians against Roman administration burst, largely unclear even the death of legatus Oppius Sabinus. The rejection of the around 6 A.D in the western part of future Moesia province, Roman military barbarian attack over the Danube was extended for some time; it seems, until the garrisons were already installed. The venue of these events is placed near Banat year 86 judging by some literary information. On the starting point of the Dacian appropriate territory and the area around it, the southern plains of Tisza and attack, most of the researchers launched two opinions. The first hypothesis considers Danube representing the first place of public contact found in literary sources for possible the organisation of the Dacian attack around the Banat region starting Dacians and Romans. mainly from inside the Carpathian mountain chain, in the direction Timiş–Cerna Another great revolt of the populations found in Illyricum province bursts in and hence most part over the Danube. Indirect clues in this regard would be the 6 A.D, and was directed against Roman administration abuse.
