The Dacian spoils must have contributed immensely
to the flourishing of the economic, social and
constructive activities of the Empire. Before his
wars against Decebalus, Trajan had been forced to
take harsh measures to save in order to balance
the finances of the state, left in a poor
condition by his predecessors, but now he passes
to sudden unlimited expenditure draining the
Pontine Marshes, extending Italy's ports,
building a new aqueduct to provide water to Rome,
remaking in Egypt the channel between the Nile
and the Red Sea, increasing the army by founding
two new legions, preparing the great war against
the Parthes of 113 - 117, renouncing certain
taxes, giving to the Roman people grand and long
performances, allotting to the poor considerable
grants, but, above all, building in the middle of
the City the incomparable Forum Ulpium, with
magnificent edifices and with his Column itself,
whose relief depicts the Dacian wars we are so
interested in..
The Treasure of Sânnicolau Mare

The Dacian bracelets were used as ornaments,
currency, high rank insignia and votive
offerings. Their ornamentations consist of many
elaborate regionally distinct styles.
25
Bracelets of various types were worn by Dacians,
but the most charac-teristic piece of their
jewelry was the large multi-spiral bracelets
engraved with palmettes towards the ends and
terminating in the shape of an animal head,
usually that of a snake
26
The Classic Dacian period ends when parts of the
Dacian State were reduced to a Roman province by
the Roman Empire under Trajan, partly in order to
seize its gold mines.

After the Second Dacian War (105106 AD) Romans
claimed they had looted 165,000 kilograms
(363,762 pounds) of gold and 300,000 kilograms
(661,386 pounds) of silver in a single haul, as
estimated by modern historians. This amount seems
credible in terms of the Dacian exploitation of
precious metals in the Apuseni Mountains along
with trade payments and tributes from abroad. Its
existence in only one spot (at Sarmizegethusa),
suggests that there was a central control of
precious metal circulation
