Roman Dacia was a province of the Roman Empire from 106 to 274-275 AD. Its territory consisted of eastern and south-eastern Transylvania, the Banat, and Oltenia (regions of modern Romania). It was from the very beginning organized as an Imprial province and remained so throughout the Roman occupation. Historians' estimates of the population of Roman Dacia range from 650,000 to 1,200,000.[1] The conquest of Dacia was completed by Emperor Trajan (98-117) after two major campaigns against Decebalus' Dacian kingdom. The Romans did not occupy the entirety of the old Dacian kingdom, as the greater part of Moldavia, together with Marumes and Crisana, was ruled by free Dacians even after the Roman conquest. In 119, the Roman province was divided into two departments: Dacia Superior (Upper Dacia) and Dacia Inferior (Lower Dacia) (later named Dacia Malvensis). In 124 (or around 158), Dacia Superior was divided into two provinces: Dacia Apulensis and Dacia Porolissensis. During the Marcommanic wars the military and judicial administration was unified under the command of one governor, with another two senators (the legati legionis) as his subordinates; the province was called tres Daciae(Three Dacias) or simply Dacia. The Roman authorities undertook a massive and organized colonization of Dacia. New mines were opened and ore extraction intensified, while agriculture, stock breeding, and commerce flourished in the province. Dacia began to supply grain not only to the military personnel stationed in the province but also to the rest of the Balkanarea. It became an urban province, with about 10 cities known, 8 of which held the highest rank of colonia, though the number of cities was fewer than in the region's other provinces. All the cities developed from old military camps. UlpiaTrainaSarmizegetusa , the seat of the imperial procurator (finance officer) for all the three subdivisions was the financial, religious, and legislative centre of the province. Apulum , where the military governor of the three subdivisions had his headquarters, was not simply the greatest city within the province, but one of the biggest across the whole Danubian frontier. There were military and political threats from the beginning of Roman Dacia's existence. Free Dacianswho bordered the province were the first adversary, who, after allying themselves with the Sarmatians, hammered the province during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Following a calmer period covering the reigns of Commodus through to Carracala (180-217 AD), the province was once again beset by invaders, this time the Carpi, a Dacian tribe in league with the newly arrived Goths, who in time became a serious difficulty for the empire. Finding it increasingly difficult to retain Dacia, the emperors were forced to abandon the province by the 270s, making it the first of Rome's long-term possessions to be abandoned Dacia was devastated by the Germanic tribes (Goths, Taifali, Bastarns) together with the Carpi in 248-250, by the Carpi and Goths in 258 and 263, and by the Goths and Heruli in 267 and 269.Ancient sources implied that Dacia was virtually lost during the reign of Gallienus (253-268), but they also report that it was Aurelian (270-275) who relinquished Dacia Traiana. He evacuated his troops and civilian administration from Dacia, and founded DaciaAurellianawith its capital at Serdica in LowerMoesia. The fate of the Romanized population of the former province of Dacia Traiana has become subject of spirited controversy. One theory holds that the Latin language spoken in ancient Dacia, where Romania was to be formed in the future, gradually turned into Romania; in parallel, a new people-the Romanians-were formed from the Dacio-Romans (the Romanized population of Dacia Traiana). The opposing theory argues that the Romanians descended from the Romanized population of the Roman provinces of the Balkan Peninsula.

It was the Province of Dacia. The Romans retained the name of the kingdom they had conquered. It included Romania, Moldova, and parts of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary
The emperor Trajan conquered Dacia (most of present day Romania and part of Moldova) and Mesopotamia (Iraq).
The Romans occupied only two small parts of Moldova. They conquered the Dacian kingdom of Burebista which was in Southern Bessarabia. Much of this area, the Budjak steppe, is now in Ukraine. It was annexed as part of the Roman province Moesia Inferior in 57 AD. It was fully secured only when the next door Dacian Kingdom (in present day Romania) was defeated in 106. With the Conquest of Dacia, a small part of Moldova in the upper Dniester area became part of the Roman Province of Dacia. The greater part of Moldova was not conquered and was under the Free Dacians, a term modern historians use to indicate the Dacians who remained outside the Roman Empire.

Dacians were a branch of Thracians that inhabitanted Dacia (corresponding to modern Romania, Moldova and northern Bulgaria). The Dacian kingdom reached its maximum expansion during King Burebista, around 82 BC. Later, The region came under the scrutiny of Rome when the Roman province, bordering along the Danube, Moesia, was attacked by the Dacians in 87 AD during Emperor Domitian's reign. The Dacians were eventually defeated by the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan in two campaigns[23] and the core of their kingdom was turned into the province of Roman Dacia. stretching from 101 AD to 106 AD, So... Dacia (today Romania), was more than 200 years a Roman province.. people from Dacia started to your Latin and so take the habits from Romans.... More than 60% from Romanian language have/has roots from Latin (Romanian Language being considered a Romance Language - like French, Italian and so on)
