High up among the hills explored by the Romans is a small hill fort. It is built of timber and defended by stockades. One building only seems to be of masonry. A mountain stream or torrent defends it on one side. The Dacians are overpowered by the Romans, and some are killed. The rest are taken captive and the wooden houses and defences are fired.
Over a dip in the line of hills in the horizon is seen the bust of a goddess with her amictus blown in a graceful circle round her head. She represents, perhaps, Luna, and this attack is made by help of moonlight.
Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.) |
