...Nowadays Sarmizegetusa took rise from antiquity, when, on the actual territory of the locality was born the Colony of Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, Roman metropolis, built around 107-108 by the order of Emperor Traian. After the Roman retreat to the South of Danube during the Emperor Aurelian reign (275-276), the antique city was disintegrated due to attacks of migrating people, but at the beginning of the second millennium (after Christ (e.n)), a Romanian establishment is settled, having different names, like: Britania, after Britus the Red, cneaz from Hateg, or Gradiste (a place at citadel’s ruin) and which we meet over centuries by the name of Sarmizegetusa.
