The Forgotten Dacian Fortress of Blidaru
Om avsnittet
Deep in the Orăștie Mountains lies a fortress that even many Romanians have never heard of. Blidaru was part of the Dacian defensive ring around Sarmizegetusa Regia, built in the 1st century BC and destroyed by the Romans in 106 AD. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the engineering brilliance of the Dacians — their stone walls, timber reinforcements, and hidden cisterns — and what archaeology reveals about a kingdom that nearly broke Rome. From the siege tactics of Trajan's legions to the discovery of the fortress by archaeologists in the 1920s, we piece together the story of a place that was never meant to be found. If you've ever wondered what the Dacians were really like beyond the Roman propaganda, this one's for you.
