In the following campaign, after desperate fighting to the north of the Danube in the mountainous region of Transylvania, such as Cæsar never encountered in all his Gaulish wars, the capital of Decebalus was taken, and he was forced to terms. He agreed to raze all fortresses, to surrender all weapons, prisoners, and Roman deserters, and to become a dependent prince under the suzerainty of Rome.
The terms laid down were moderate enough; Rome was to raze the fortresses which she had constructed in defiance of the treaty Cales and Fregellae and to renew her equal alliance with Samnium.
It is, we know, no slight work, in toil and expense, even with all the appliances of modern science, to raze a single fortress; yet the energy of these wild warriors made sport of walled cities.
There was a front line trench and portions of a reserve line, all rather the worse for wear, while the communication trenches, "Hurrah" and "Humbug" Alleys, were unspeakably filthy.

It was these fortifications that the Cardinal St. Angelo forced the citizens to raze in 1227.
Tell them that he may fearlessly assume what powers he pleases, snatch from its lawful custody the public purse, command a military detachment to enter the halls of the Capitol, overawe Congress, trample down the Constitution, and raze every bulwark of freedom; but that the Senate must stand mute, in silent submission, and not dare to raise its opposing voice.
For our little ones with their teeming hopes ye have roofed the sweatshop den, And our daughters fair ye have prisoned in the reeking brothel's pen! And so for the sign of our murdered hopes our blood-red banner see We come in the right of our new-born might to set the people free! Tremble, oh masters tremble all who live by others' toil We come your dungeon walls to raze, your citadel to spoil!
