The Dacian draco was a military standard used by troops of the ancient Dacian people, which can be seen in the hands of the soldiers of Decebalus in several scenes depicted on Trajan's Column in Rome, Italy. This wind instrument has the form of a dragon with open wolf-like jaws containing several metal tongues. The hollow dragon's head was mounted on a pole with a fabric tube affixed at the rear. In use, the draco was held up into the wind, or above the head of a horseman, where it filled with air and gave the impression it was alive while making a shrill sound as the wind passed through its strips of material. The Dacian draco likely influenced the development of the similar Roman draco.

  • Le draco ou dragon dace, est un animal fantastique dans la mythologie daces. Le draco est représenté avec un corps de serpent et une tête de loup. Il servait dans les armées antiques, comme étendard et enseigne. Il est visible sur les représentations des guerriers daces de Décébale dans les bas-relief illustrant les guerres daciques sur la colonne de Trajan à Rome. (fr)
  • ドラコ (Draco) とは、ダキア経由でローマ軍に伝わった軍旗のことである。由来から「Dacian Draco」ともいう。 当初は画像にある通り、狼のような頭部のドラゴンであった。ローマ軍経由でブリテン島にも伝わり、『ブリタニア列王史』の記述を経て近代におけるウェールズの旗の由来 ] (ja)
