Set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire's eastern frontier, 'The Dacians' (1966) delves into the intense conflict between the Dacian kingdom and the formidable Roman legions. As the Danube River stands as the only barrier between these two adversaries, King Decebalus of Dacia anticipates an imminent Roman invasion. Directed by Sergiu Nicolaescu, this historical epic brings to life the valor and struggles of the Dacian people in their fight for sovereignty.
