Example text
Did the conquest result in any perceptible resistance phenomena amongst the natives? Finally, how did the process of romanisation develop in Dacia? Approaching these questions will offer the opportunity to address a number of current debates and assumptions: whether archaeological evidence bears out the literary references to depopulation, whether much of the hinterland of Sarmizegetusa was unoccupied in the pre-Roman period, or whether land was parcelled out and given to the colonists. The understanding of the real Roman impact, military and civilian, and of the true nature of the social relationship established between the conquerors and natives will ultimately lead to a better understanding of romanisation in Dacia.
