Histra was once a harbour, first occupied by the Ancient Greeks in 675 BC. [557] Sălăgean underlines that Romanians live in the same settlements in the 21st century and "what is possible in the 21st century was not less possible in 10th century". Roemenië ( uitspraak (info / uitleg)) is een republiek in Zuidoost-Europa grenzend aan de Zwarte Zee, Bulgarije, Servië, Oekraïne, Hongarije en Moldavië.Op die laatste twee na is het Romaanse Roemenië omringd door Slavische landen. [9] Its western territories were organized into the province of Dacia (or "Dacia Traiana"), but Maramureș and further regions inhabited by the Costoboci, Bastarnae and other tribes remained free of Roman rule. [14] Meanwhile, from 313 under the Edict of Milan, the Roman Empire began to transform itself into a Christian state. [47] A chieftain of the western Cuman tribes accepted Hungarian supremacy in 1227. [403] They together form the distinct "Band-Noşlac" group of graveyards[21] which also produced weapons and other objects of Western or Byzantine provenance. [181] The present forms of the few river names inherited from Antiquity show that non-Latin-speaking populations—Dacians and Slavs—mediated them to the modern inhabitants of the region. [336] Similarly, the chronicler Geoffrey of Villehardouin refers to the Bulgarian ruler Kaloyan as "Johanitsa, the king of Vlachia and Bulgaria". [508] Romanians also adopted dozens of Latin words through Slavic mediation. [88] An unknown author's Description of Eastern Europe from 1308 likewise states that the Balkan Vlachs "were once the shepherds of the Romans" who "had over them ten powerful kings in the entire Messia and Pannonia". [188] Sporadic references to few Latin-speaking individuals—merchants and prisoners of war—among the Huns and Gepids in the 5th century does not contradict this picture. [113] Linguist Gottfried Schramm emphasizes that the Romanians' ethnogenesis is a "fundamental problem of the history and linguistic history of Southeastern Europe" and urges scholars from third countries to start studying it. [496] Other scholars attribute the same change to Slavic influence. [168] Scholars supporting the continuity theory notes that the silence of sources does not contradict it, because early medieval authors named the foreign lands and their inhabitants after the ruling peoples. [226][227] Onomastic evidence substantiates his words: about 2,000 Latin, 420 Greek, 120 Illyrian, and 70 Celtic names are known from the Roman period. [29] Historians still debate whether they encountered a Romanian population in the territory. [196] Slavic and Hungarian loanwords also indicate that the Romanians' ancestors adopted a settled way of life only at a later phase of their ethnogenesis. 253–268). [545] Based on the Repedea name for the upper course of the river Bistrița (both names meaning "quick" in Romanian and Slavic, respectively), Nandris writes that translations from Romanian into Slavic could also create Romanian hydronyms. In 1467, the fortress resisted the siege of the Hungarian army under King Matthias Corvinus, before the battle of Baia. [152][153] Estimating the provincials' number at 500,000-1,000,000 in the 270s, supporters of the continuity theory rule out the possibility that masses of Latin-speaking commoners abandoned the province when the Roman troops and officials left it. [488][474] More than 75% of the words in the semantic fields of sense perception, quantity, kinship and spatial relations are of Latin origin, but the basic lexicons of religion and of agriculture have also been preserved. [537][199][547], Many small rivers—all shorter than 100 kilometers—and creeks[note 11] bear a name of Romanian origin in Romania. [66] Its certain structural features—such as the construction of the future tense—also distinguish Romanian from other Romance languages.

[89][90], Poggio Bracciolini, an Italian scholar was the first to write (around 1450) that the Romanians' ancestors had been Roman colonists settled in Dacia Traiana. [24] Their territorial expansion accelerated after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate in the 790s. [119][120], The concept of the common origin of the Romanians of the Habsburg Empire, Moldavia and Wallachia inevitably gave rise to the development of the idea of a united Romanian state. However, they generally lie significantly closer to Balkan groups (Bulgarians and Macedonians) than to central and eastern Europeans like Hungarians, Czechs, Poles and Ukrainians, and many lie in the center of the Balkan cluster, near Albanians, Greeks, and Bulgarians, while many former Yugoslav populations like Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes may draw closer to central European West Slavs. [385] It incorporated elements of the "Wielbark culture" of present-day Poland and of local tradition. [75] The 11th-century scholar Kekaumenos wrote of a Vlach homeland situated "near the Danube and [...] the Sava, where the Serbians lived more recently". [384], A new cultural synthesis, the "Sântana de Mureş-Chernyakhov culture", spread through the plains of Moldavia and Wallachia in the early 4th century. [359] Their rich inventory has analogies in archaeological sites south of the Danube. [506] Nandriș says that those who propose a south-Danubian homeland "on the ground of the lack of Germanic elements" in Romanian "have the same argument against them", because Germanic tribes also settled in the Balkans in the early Middle Ages. [148][149][150] One of them, Coriolan H. Opreanu underlines that "nowhere else has anyone defied reason by stating that a [Romance] people, twice as numerous as any of its neighbours..., is only accidentally inhabiting the territory of a former Roman province, once home to a numerous and strongly Romanized population". Romania's historical provinces Wallachia and Moldova offered furious resistance to the invading Ottoman Turks. Coin hoards ending with pieces from the period between 375 and 395 unearthed at Bistreţ, Gherla, and other settlements[392] point to a period of uncertainty. [124] Debates about the venue of the formation of the Romanian people became especially passionate after Hitler enforced the restoration of northern Transylvania to Hungary in 1940. [494][495] One of these terms is the Latin word for gold (aurum), preserved in Daco-Romanian, but lost in Aromanian and Istro-Romanian. [295] A royal charter of 1223 confirming a former grant of land is the earliest official document mentioning the presence of Romanians in Transylvania. [102] Grigore Ureche's Chronicle of Moldavia of 1647[103] is the first Romanian historical work stating that the Romanians "all come from Rîm" (Rome).
