Hey guys,
I'm a reenactor that was hoping to make some Dacian cultural items (Swords, Belts, Camp Knives, Fibulae, and Clothing) and was wondering if anyone out there would have any Diagrams of the sort to help me in my plans? I'm looking for stuff mainly from the 1st Century B.C. to the 1st Century A.D.
Thanks!

Thomas,
It's the forum rules to put your real first name on the posts. I did manage to find some useful info here. The main problem seems to be the belt buckles and the fibulae, because they look very Celtic at this time. Celtic influence in Dacian culture gradually waned up to the Roman invasion.

There's also good pictures on this site here (Dacian and Roman reenactors), however, you would still need better diagrams to make accurate reproductions of smaller items (ie, belts and fibula).

The latest issue of "Ancient Warfare" magazine is about the Dacians and the Dacian Wars, you will probably find some useful material there.
