Fifteen years after his previous defeat, Decebalus of Dacia renewed war against Rome, and Emperor Trajan crossed the Danube to secure Tibiscum. He then met the Dacian army near Tapae, in modern Romania. After very heavy fighting both sides withdrew to winter quarters. However, peace talks failed and the following year Trajan attacked again for victory near the capital Sarmizegethusa.
