DACIA (dā'shya), a large tract of the Roman empire pire beyond nd the Danube; now comprising Moldavia, Wallachia, and portions of Transylvania and Hungary. Prior to Constantine the Great, the whole tract was divided into Trojan Dacia and Aurelian Dacia. The former, or Dacia proper, was situated N., the latter S., of the Danube. The country was inhabited by the Daci or Dacæ, a warlike nation of German origin, who, after a heroic resistance, continued for upward of 75 years, were finally conquered by Trajan (A. D. 105) whereupon the entire region became a Roman province. In 270-275 the Romans abandoned the country to the Goths. In 453, Ardaric, King of the Gepidæ, seized the country, and in 566 it was conquered by a colony of Scythians.
