Klappentext

In this meticulously researched book, we embark on a journey through the Roman provinces to explore the intricate process of cultural fusion between Roman and native societies. Recent archaeological discoveries have confirmed the Romanization of regions like Gaul, where a new provincial cultural identity emerged through the blending of traditions.

However, our attention turns to a compelling exception-Dacia, home to Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, founded in 106 CE during Trajan's rule. Unlike the usual narrative of Romanization, Dacia's capital city raises questions and challenges our understanding of this process. Join us as we delve into the historical context, archaeological evidence, and the unique story of how Dacia's experience differed from the broader Romanization trend.
