A so-called Dacian script and alphabet were the system of writing used by the people of Dacia, or present-day Romania, before being replaced by Latin due to being conquered by the Romans during the reign of the Roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian. Even if there is no serious reason to sustain that a true Dacian alphabet did exist, many members of the protochronism movement sustain such ideas, with very few arguments.

  • A so-called Dacian script and alphabet were the system of writing used by the people of Dacia, or present-day Romania, before being replaced by Latin due to being conquered by the Romans during the reign of the Roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian. Even if there is no serious reason to sustain that a true Dacian alphabet did exist, many members of the protochronism movement sustain such ideas, with very few arguments. From the current discoveries, there is a certainty that the Dacians did use, however, the Greek and Latin alphabets in their inscriptions. The usage of the Greek alphabet can be linked with the cultural diffusion which took place from the pontic Greek poliss such as Tomis, Histria and Callatis to the geto-dacian lands, through trade and often complex diplomatic relationships.
