Decebalus was the last king of Dacia (present-day Romania), who fought three wars against the Roman Empire in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. He had early success against Domitian, securing independence for Dacia. However, under Emperor Trajan, the Roman armies invaded and defeated Dacia. Decebalus remained as a client king but continued asserting independence, leading to a final overwhelming Roman invasion in 105 AD that destroyed the Dacian capital and absorbed the region into the Roman Empire. Decebalus committed suicide rather than be captured.

2. DECEBAL
Decebalus was the last king of Dacia. He is famous for fighting three wars, with varying
success, against the Roman Empire under two emperors. After raiding south across
the Danube, he defeated a Roman invasion in the reign of Domitian, securing a period of
independence during which Decebalus consolidated his rule.
When Trajan came to power, his armies invaded Dacia to weaken its threat to the Roman
border territories of Moesia. Decebalus was defeated in 102 AD. He remained in power as
a client king, but continued to assert his independence, leading to a final and overwhelming
Roman invasion north of the Danube in 105 AD. Trajan reduced the Dacian
capital Sarmizegetusa in 106 AD to ruins, absorbing some of Dacia into the Empire.
Decebalus committed suicide to avoid capture.
