<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 88620, member: 4367&quot;]I did some indepth research and apparently his forces fought a running battle for a few days.&nbsp; Some have said he, Decius died in a most heroic manner, but history is written by the victors and the Thracians said after he and his legions were slaughtered they were stripped of valuables and left to be savaged and eaten by wild animals.&nbsp; They&#039;re is a monument (???) commerating the battle which is very strange considering the Romans were wiped out, so he (Decius) must have displayed some type of valor.&nbsp; When his son was killed he said &quot;No matter at the loss of one soldier&quot; or something to that effect.</p><p><br /></p><p>He also was know for his persecution of Christians.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bone[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
