The '''Battle of Adamclisi''' was a major clash during the [[Trajan's Dacian Wars|Dacian Wars]], fought in the winter of 101 to 102 between the [[Roman Empire]] and the [[Dacia]]ns near [[Adamclisi]], in modern [[Romania]].<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
After the victory of [[Second Battle of Tapae]], Emperor [[Trajan]] decided to wait until spring to continue his offensive on [[Sarmizegetusa Regia|Sarmizegetusa]], the capital of [[Dacia]]. The [[List of Dacian kings|Dacian king]] [[Decebalus]] benefited from this, and made out a plan along with the neighboring allied tribes of the [[Roxolans]] and [[Bastarnae]], to attack south of the [[Danube]], in the [[Roman province]] of [[Moesia]], in an attempt to force the Romans to leave their positions in the mountains near Sarmizegetusa.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Coarelli |first1=Filippo |title=La colonna Traiana |date=1999 |publisher=Colombo |isbn=8886359349 |page=99 |url=https://www.unilibro.it/libro/coarelli-filippo/la-colonna-traiana/9788886359344 |access-date=19 June 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
==The battle==<br />
The [[Dacians|Dacian]] army, together with the [[Roxolani]] and the [[Bastarnae]], crossed the frozen [[Danube]] but, because the weather was not cold enough, the ice broke under their weight, causing many to die in the frozen water.<br />
<br />
Trajan moved his army from the mountains, following the Dacians into Moesia. A first battle was fought at night somewhere near the town of [[Nikopol, Bulgaria|Nicopolis]], a battle with few casualties on either side and with no crucial result. However, as the Romans received reinforcements, they were able to corner the Dacio-Sarmatian army.<br />
<br />
The decisive battle was fought at Adamclisi, a difficult battle for both the Dacians and the Romans. Even though the outcome of the battle was a decisive Roman victory, both sides suffered very heavy casualties.<br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
After the battle, Trajan advanced to [[Sarmizegetusa Regia|Sarmizegetusa]], Decebalus requesting a truce. Trajan agreed to the peace offerings. This time the peace was favorable to the [[Roman Empire]]: Decebalus must yield the territories occupied by the Roman army, and he must give back to the Romans all the weapons and war machines received after 89, when the Romans under Domitian were forced to pay an annual gift to the Dacians.<br />
<br />
Decebalus was obliged to reconsider his foreign policies, and “to have friends and enemies the friends and enemies of the Roman Empire”, as described by [[Dio Cassius]].<br />
<br />
After the conquest of Dacia following the 105–106 war, Trajan built the [[Tropaeum Traiani]] at [[Adamclisi]] in 109, in memory of the battle. On the Tropaeum Traiani monument was a frieze comprising 54 [[Metope (architecture)|metopes]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=1900 Years since the Inauguration of Tropaeum Trajani from Adamclisi - 10 lei silver 2009 - Romanian Coins|url=http://romaniancoins.org/10lei09_adamclisi.html|access-date=2021-06-19|website=romaniancoins.org}}</ref><br />
