What I wonder hier, I wonder about the exactly time when they did it.
Between 102 and 105 there has been an another Dacian war which is not so
known. There has been the war of Decebal against Jazyges, pushing them
out; but how far out?
I am not sure if Dio Cassius tell us the geographical space and how far
have been the Iazyges pushed out by the dacians.
