Summary/Abstract: We are continuing our series of studies regarding the representation of Dacia in medieval and modern cartography with a discussion related to another map, printed in a book written by Victoria Vaschide, entitled Histoire de la conquéte romaine de la Dacie et des corps d’armée qui y ont pris part, Paris, Librairie Emile Bouillon, 1903. This is a book which contains a detail analysis of different aspects regarding the conquest of Roman Dacia, including the construction of roads, the organization of the frontier, and the military troops which have participated to the conquest. At the end of the volume, the reader finds a map of Roman Dacia, drawn by the author, entitled “Carte militaire de la Dacie dressée par Victoria Vaschide”. We are presenting here some data regarding the topography of Dacia illustrated by this map published in 1903.
