In the winter of 842(89) the Dacian king Duras led his troops and the troops of several allied tribes for a raid into eastern Moesia. The Roman settlements were easily overwhelmed and the governor Ambustus Ripanus was killed. In response Cæsar Domitian divided Moesia into superior and inferior provinces, and gave the general Camillus Mamurra six legions for a summer campaign across the Danube. Meeting Duras and his armies at Tapae, the Romans were routed and Mamurra killed. Duras received the title of Decebalus (brave and powerful) for his victories by his people.

  • In the winter of 842(89) the Dacian king Duras led his troops and the troops of several allied tribes for a raid into eastern Moesia. The Roman settlements were easily overwhelmed and the governor Ambustus Ripanus was killed. In response Cæsar Domitian divided Moesia into superior and inferior provinces, and gave the general Camillus Mamurra six legions for a summer campaign across the Danube. Meeting Duras and his armies at Tapae, the Romans were routed and Mamurra killed. Duras received the title of Decebalus (brave and powerful) for his victories by his people. In autumn 843(90) the new general Lucius Abercus gambled on facing Duras at Tapae again, however he won only a marginal victory, causing Duras to sue for peace. The peace however, and the allegience of Duras as a client-king for Rome in Dacia, would include the bestowing of money, craftsmen, and war machines to guard his own northern border. Already one to make poor decisions, Domitian was about to accept the terms when the Praetorian guard killed him. Domitian's successor Nerva took a stronger stance with Duras, but this resulted in a status-quo ante-bellum with the Dacian return of captured legionaries, standards, and equipment.
