I know that probably you don't have the patience to read a big article about this (my) country, but I will make it SHORT.

Almost Ancient History...

Our ancestors are the Geto-Dacians and later the Roman Empire invaded Dacia, fought each other.... so what resulted is now called: ROMANIAN.
The Geto- Dacians where the Northern branch of the Tracians, of which Herodot himself wrote "if they would all have a leader ( the tracians) they would become unconquerable".
Our ancestors where MIGHTY indeed, just look at their art and most famous items, the Dacian Gauntlets.
