The Dacian Draco was a standard used by the ancient Dacians, a people who lived in what is now Romania and Moldova. This dragon-shaped banner was made of fabric and hung from a pole, often featuring a dragon's head at the top. It symbolized the strength and bravery of the Dacian warriors during battles. The Dacian Draco is often associated with the Dacian king Decebalus, who ruled during the Roman-Dacian Wars. The standard was believed to have protective qualities and was used to inspire troops. Its design influenced later military standards, including those of the Roman Empire.
