The Trajan Wars

Hi Guys. I am interested in researching the wars of Trajan the emperor, from start to finish. But I am especially interested in the 2nd Dacian war. Any maps, fortifications or old stories anything greatfully accepted.

Welcome to the WAB! I take it the the Trajan wars are not your only interest but rather your matter of focus. Tell us about yourself.

Leave your standards and banner in Rome when you go talk with the Parthians.
