The Roman Army Plunders a Cache of Treasure, the Dacian Warriors Die, and the Dacian People Are Removed from Their Homes

The lower spiral, in this image, shows panel 102. In this panel, there are horse laden with plunder. Trajan addresses his troops, and distributes the treasure.

The middle spiral, in this image, shows panel 105. In this scene, a high-ranking Dacian is dying. A Roman soldier watches as the Dacian dies. Some interpret this scene as the death of Decebal, while others note that Trajan has already been informed that Decebal is dead.

The upper spiral, in this image, shows panel 109. In this scene, the Dacians are expelled from their homes, and sent away.
