Two years after a Roman disaster in Dacia at Tapae, Emperor Domitian sent a fresh army against Decebalus of Dacia, who was threatening Roman Moesia. Veteran Roman commander Tettius Julianus led his Legions across the Danube and routed Decebalus at Tapae, on the plain of Caransebes in modern Romania. However, Rome was threatened by other enemies and agreed to make peace.
