The Land Between Empires: Romania's Ancient Roots

In the pilot episode of The History of Romania, we begin in the year 106 AD, high in the Carpathian Mountains, where the Dacian king Decebalus faces the might of Rome. This episode traces the origins of Romanian identity through the lens of Dacia, a kingdom that resisted and then merged with the Roman Empire. We explore the Dacian culture, their fortress capital Sarmizegetusa Regia, and the Roman conquest under Emperor Trajan, which left a lasting Latin legacy. The conversation also touches on the famous Dacian Draco standard and the 'Tropaeum Traiani' monument. We set the stage for future episodes that will cover migrations, the medieval principalities, Vlad Țepeș (Dracula), and the long struggle for national unity. This is a story of survival, resilience, and a language that bridges ancient and modern worlds.
