Domitian, who was one of the most vilified Roman emperors, had suffered damnatio memoriae by the senate after his assassination in 96. The condemnation of senate sympathizer authors such as Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio overshadowed many of Domitian’s accomplishments, including the Dacian campaign. Despite initial setbacks in 86 and 87, Domitian managed to push the invading Dacians into the Dacian territory and even approached to the Dacian capital in 88. However, the Saturninus revolt and instability in the Chatti and Pannonia in 89 prevented Domitian focusing on the Dacia region. The peace treaty which stopped the Dacian incursions, without annexing the Dacian territory is consistent with Domitian’s non-expansionist imperial policy. This peace treaty stabilized a hostile area and turned Dacia a client kingdom. After dealing with various threats, in his final years, he strengthened the auxiliary forces in Dacia, stabilizing the Dacian frontier. Domitian’s these new endeavors opened the way of the area’s total subjugation by Trajan in 106.

Domitian 96 yılında düzenlenen suikast sonucunda hakkında senato tarafından ‘hatırası lanetlenen’ ve hakkında en çok karalama yapılan Roma imparatorlarından birisidir. Senatör tarihçilerden olan Tacitus ve Cassius Dio, Domitian’ın bir çok başarısını görmezden gelmiş ve eleştirmiştir. Domitian’ın Daçya seferi bunlardan birisidir. 86 ve 87 yıllarındaki askeri başarısızlıklara karşın, Domitian savaşı Daçya topraklarına taşımış ve Daçya başkentine giden yolu açmıştır. Fakat 89 yılındaki Saturninus isyanı, Çatti ve Panonia’daki huzursuzluklar seferi sonuçlandırmasına engel olmuştur. Buna ragmen yapılan barış anlaşması Daçya akınlarını sona erdirmiş ve Daçya’yı bağımlı devlet haline getirmiştir. Bu anlaşma Domitian’ın genel olarak takip ettiği genişlememeci politik anlayışa da uygundur. Birçok tehditle uğraştıktan sonra, Domitian Daçya’daki birlikleri güçlendirmiş ve Daçya sınırını istikrarlı hale getirmiştir. Domitian’ın bu çabaları 106 yılında Trajan’ın bölgeyi tamamen kontrol altına alması yolunda önemli destek sağlamıştır.
