Event #823
The Fall of Sarmizegetusa marked the decisive Roman victory over the Dacians led by King Decebalus. In early August, Roman legions under Emperor Trajan besieged the Dacian capital, a fortified complex situated in the Orăștie Mountains.
After intense fighting and sabotage of the city's water supply, the fortress was captured, effectively ending the Dacian resistance. This victory led to the incorporation of Dacia into the Roman Empire as a province.
