The finest method to understand the people of a nation is to find out how the nation’s history. The history of Romania is the history of the events that took place from old times, i.e. the third century B.C. to the present day, when the contemporary nation state of Romania that you see on the map evolved after going through many turmoils, and its boundaries got redrawn a number of times. It’s as well the history of its people, the very people, who gave Romania national identity and distinct cultural flavor.
