Summary/Abstract: The transition from Republic to Empire and the consolidation of new forms of political state organization focused the attention of roman political class for a few decades in the first century A.D. Elimination of the danger posed by the dacian state created by Burebista and consolidated by Decebal, the solving of economical crisis in the empire, the drawing of new resources and the completion of military and institutional reforms were the main reasons that led to the wars of Domitian and Trajan. The treasure and riches of Dacia – gold, silver, salt, iron, wood, stone, grain, animals, fish – the large number of slaves and the colonization of the new province formed the economical support of Trajan’s reforms and due to them the Empire has known an economic recovery and a period of realtive peace and social tranquility in the 2nd century and first half of the 3rd century A.D.
