Dacian texts written whith greek and latin alphabet
The idea of the use of writing system used by the ancient people of Dacia a certitude at the moment among historians. Howewer, as hypothetised by romanian historian Hadrian Daicoviciu, the dacians know to use at least the greek and roman alphabet, as it is shown by the inscriptions found at Sarmizegetusa Decebalus per Scorilo , the personal name Zyper , the greek letters from the stone bricks which once composed the wall of the fortress , short inscriptions found in other places, and many more (at Polovragi- ancient Arcina, at Argedava, etc).
Dacian texts written in unknowns scripts
There are a number of yet undesciphered scripts found at different places in Romania, which are attributed by most to the dacians.Howewer, very few research has been done on them, mainly because most of the sites are in regions which are not very accesible, and secondly, because for some reasons romanian scientist avoid studying such matters, etc.
One of the most important sites is to be found at Bozioru , Buzau, and in many other places. This is a sample of such script.
