The name Sarmisegetuza Regia is said to have several origins and meanings including ‘City of warm river’, ‘Palace illuminating the world of life’, ‘Citadel built of palisades on a mountain peak’. The Regia contained in the name references the place of the king (rege). It was built during 108-110 and consistently destroyed by the romans and rebuilt.
