THE NATURE OF ROMAN DOMINION OVER THE PROVINCE OF DACIA NOTES ON THE ROMANIZATION PHENOMENON AND ITS LIMITS
THE NATURE OF ROMAN DOMINION OVER THE PROVINCE OF DACIA NOTES ON THE ROMANIZATION PHENOMENON AND ITS LIMITS

Summary/Abstract: The current paper presents the main lines of an investigation into the Romanization/Latinization of Dacia. The issues are mainly addressed from a social history point of view. What we have tried to find out is if talking about assimilation, acculturation and integration in the case of Dacia is really in accordance with what the realities of the province show us. These ‘realities’ that we took into consideration are the reflection of society in epigraphy/epigraphic habits, with the occasional references to literary and archaeological sources. The following pages will raise many questions – and not all of them can be answered at the present time. Nonetheless, we hope they will enlarge perspectives and form a solid base for future, deeper investigations on the topic.
