    Default Sarmizegetusa-luptătorii

    What is the early connection between the Romans and the Sarmizegetusa-luptătorii?

    Almost invented it myself, yet...

    Is there some kind of connection between the primal-Roman military wolf-cult and the later Romanian luptătorii?

    There was a Roman military wolf cult? Did not know about that...

    Sarmisegetuza is the capital of the Getai and they carried a wolf-like battle standard.

    But I really don't know of any large scale wolf worshiping in Dacia. So I don't see a connection. Maybe it was the fact that the draco standard was latter adopted by the Roman cavalry (quoting wiki here, so the info may be incorrect). Maybe a an EB Getai member can shed more light on your question...

    Is luptătorii a Romanian word for soldier? Just asking.

    It means "the fighters" but I don't think it's an ancient word... luptător = fighter.

    Right, its in current use, but why does it include the root word for wolf?

    I do not know the exact genesis for the word yet I doubt it has any real connection to "wolf" in any fashion... The online dictionaries say it comes from the latin "lucta/luctare"...

    What i know is: the Dacians get theyr name from a word " daca " , meaning a short curbed sword , specific weapon to geto-dacians only that this word isn't found in texts or inscriptions . In latin texts the weapon specific to geto-dacians is called " sica ". After this being told , I.H.Crisan(historian) says there is a better aproach between the name of dacians and the indo-european word "dhaukos", which means wolf.


    Another thing : after Strabon dacians were named "daoi" and a tradition consemnated by Hesychios informes us that daos was the frigian name for wolf.
