IN THIS PLACE ROMANS HAD WON A GREAT VICTORY AGAINST THE DACIANS IN THE WINTER OF 102 AD.THE EMPEROR TRAIANUS WAS LOOKING TO DESTROY AND TAKE OVER THE DACIANS KINGDOM, WHICH WAS A RISING AND AGRESSIVE POWER AT THE NORTH EAST BORDERS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
THE BATTLE OF ADAMCLISI WAS FIERCE AND ONLY THE STRONG DISCIPLINE OF THE ROMAN LEGIONARIES MADE THE DAY TO BELONG TO ROME.
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER THEORY WHICH SAYS THAT THE MONUMENT WAS RISED BY THE DACIANS TO CELEBRATE A GREAT VICTORY OVER AN ASIAN INVADER, DUE TO THE ARMOURS THEY WEAR AND THAT THE BATTLE WAS FOUGHT IN SUMMER, NOT IN WINTER.
