| | Trajan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Domitian had campaigned against Dacia from 85 to 89 AD without securing a decisive outcome, and Decebalus had brazenly flouted the the terms of the peace which had been agreed on conclusion of this campaign. | | | Combining chariot racing, beast fights and close-quarters gladiatorial bloodshed, this gory spectacle reputedly left 11,000 dead (mostly Jewish slaves and criminals, not to mention the thousands of ferocious beasts killed alongside them) and attracted a total of five million spectators over the course of the festival. | | | The fortress city of Hatra, on the Tigris in his rear, continued to hold out against repeated Roman assaults. |
