The development of the Getes and Dacians could be recognized in the Thracian world much sooner than Herodotus initially alluded to them in the seventh century BC. The Getes possessed the Danube plain and the Dacians the focal and western a piece of the district between the Carpathians and the Danube. It was a common Iron Age society, honing agribusiness, stock-raising, angling and metal-meeting expectations, and exchange with the Graeco-Roman world.

The bulwarks are built from stone, wood and slammed earth, an alternate method being utilized for every enceinte. Various towers survive.
Costeti-Blidaru is the strongest and most breathtaking of the posts raised to shield Sarmizegetusa. It is rectilinear in arrangement and is found on the leveled summit of a little knoll. There are two walled in areas. The dividers have corner bastions, through one of which get to is picked up to the inside, where there are the remaining parts of a square building that might have housed the army. A second nook, additionally rectangular in arrangement, was included later, stretching out the stronghold to the whole summit of the knoll.
The Luncani Piatra Roie fort comprises of two braced nooks on the eastern incline of a rough massif. The prior and more modest of the two has corner bastions. In the inside there is an apsidal timber-confined encampment hinder with two rooms. To the north and outside the resistances there were two structures on the site of a prior haven. The second enceinte dates from the late first century AD.
The Bnia fortification was built on a soak cone shaped mound in the Jiu valley. The main side on which the summit was available was on the north, and this was protected by a solid stone divider in murus dacicus style. The fortification itself was entered through a door prompting a fantastic limestone stairway with andesite balustrades. The level above has three porches at diverse levels.
The Cplna fortification was built at the summit of a soak mound which was terraced and encompassed by bulwarks emulating the characteristic shapes. There is a forcing square structure assembled utilizing the murus dacicus system. The enceinte was entered by a braced door on the south-east, near the military building. There was initially an alternate passage in the north-east, yet this was hindered between the development of the post and the Roman victories in AD 106.
