The monument was built between 106-109 to comemorate the battle of Adamclisi faught in the winter of 101 A.D. against an alliance of Dacian, Germanic and Sarmatian tribes. Almost 4000 legionaries died in the battle. The current monument is an exact replica of the original and was built between 1974-1977. 80 percent of the original site can be found in the Adamclisi museum. Nearby, a Roman earth mound containing the remains of an important Roman officer can be seen as well.
