Dacia Becomes Roman Province

Date: August 11, 106 • Location: Nereju Mic, Romania

The region of Dacia, comprising parts of modern Romania, became a province of the Roman Empire.

Year 106 (CVI) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Commodus and Civica. The denomination 106 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
