Relativistic kinetic theory may be used to understand hot dense hadronic matter. We address the questions of collective flow and pion production in a three-dimensional relativistic fluid dynamic model and in the Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck microscopic theory. Collective flow and pion data point to a stiff equation of state. The effect of the nuclear equation of state on the thermodynamic parameters is discussed. The properties of dense hot hadronic matter are studied in Au+Au collisions from 0.1 to 10 GeV/nucleon.
