At the end of 85 or the beginning of 86 AD,[REF] the Dacian king Duras ordered his troops to attack the Roman province of Moesia on the southern course of the Danube river.
Following this attack, the Roman emperor Domitian, accompanied by Cornelius Fuscus, Prefect of the Praetorian Guard, personally arrived in Moesia, reorganized the province into Moesia Inferior and Moesia Superior, and planned a future attack into Dacia.
