As they were foreign subjects they asked their consuls to intercede, and in 1819 the prince of Moldavia decided that the hakham bashi should have jurisdiction only over "native" Jews. Because of permanent strife among the diverse groups of Jews and their complaints to the authorities, the latter decided in 1834 on the abolition of the hakham bashi system. Under this system there was also a Jews' Guild, one of 32 guilds set up according to nationality (Armenians, Greeks, etc.) or profession, which took care of tax collection proportionately to the number of persons organized in it. For the Jews the guild was really the legal body of the community. The collective tax was paid from the tax on kasher meat, the expenses of the institutions (

64. Rome And Romania, 27 BC-1453 AD A thorough investigation into the Eastern Roman Empire. By Kelley L. Ross, Ph.D.Category Society history By Region Europe Balkans...... Despite that overall size, the file has not been broken up, so as to preserve andemphasize the continuity of the history of Rome and romania from Augustus all http://www.friesian.com/romania.htm

ROME AND ROMANIA, 27 BC-1453 AD Rome casts a long shadow. I am writing in the Latin alphabet. I am using the Roman calendar, with its names of the months. I use Roman names for the planets in the sky. Sentences I write contain borrowed Latin words with some frequency. Nietzsche said, "The Romans were the strongest and most noble people who ever lived." But this is just the problem. What Nietzsche admired was unapologetic power, conquest, and domination. This no longer seems so admirable, and the Empire founded by Julius Caesar and Augustus, as a form of government, does not look like an advance in the course of human progress. Even to Machiavelli , the despotism of Caesar was a grave retrogression in comparison to the Roman Republic. While a thoughtful Emperor, like Marcus Aurelius , expressed ideals adopted from Stoic cosmopolitanism, the unity and universality of Rome soon expressed itself as the unity and universality of a state religion , Christianity, whose intrinsic exclusivism and intolerance became characteristic of the Middle Ages. This is also no longer to be regarded as admirable. Nevertheless, the very success of Rome makes us, like it or not, her heirs, in countless matters great and small. Indeed, the Romans were rather more successful than is usually thought. The corpus of Roman law, let alone Greek literature, was not preserved at Rome, but at Constantinople

Decadence, Rome and Romania, the Emperors Who Weren't, and Other Reflections on Roman History What do you think of the state of Romania? Does it stand as from the beginning, or has it been diminished? Doctrina Jacobi nuper baptizati , 634 AD , A.H.M. Jones, The Later Roman Empire, 284-602 [The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1986], p. 316 Decadence Everyone knows why the Roman Empire fell. It became "decadent," meaning weak and immoral. The Romans were so busy at their orgies (often with their siblings), throwing Christians to the lions, poisoning their spouses, parents, and children, and eating exotic parts of animals (in between visits to the vomitorium so they could eat more), that they didn't notice all the Germans gathering on the frontiers. Then the ruthless pagan Germans rode in, trampled under their horses's hooves the few poor debauched legionnaires who remained, still foolishly fighting on foot, sacked Rome, destroyed civilization, overthrew the last emperor in 476, and ushered in the Dark Ages, from which Europe only emerged with the Renaissance, a thousand years later, when gunpowder finally could defeat mounted warriors. As the columnist Joseph Sobran wrote recently: Christianity built a new civilization on the "ruins" of the old. Although accepted by no real historians, this cartoonish image looms large in popular discourse, is lovingly promoted in the movies, like Frederico Fellini's

Romania - History :: Monasteries :: Famous castles :: Traditions Ancient Romania was inhabited by Thracian tribes. The Greeks called them Getae, the Romans called them Dacians, but they were actually a single Geto-Dacian People. From the 7th century BC the Greeks established trading colonies along the Black Sea at Callatis (Mangalia), Tomis (Constanta) and Histria. In the 1st century BC, a Dacian state was established to meet the Roman threat. The last king, Decebalus, consolidated this state but was unable to prevent the Roman conquest in 105-6 AD. The Romans recorded their expansion north of the Danube on two famous monuments: Trajani's Column in Rome and the 'Tropaeum Trajani' on the site of their victory at Adamclisi in Dobrogea. Most of present Romania , including the Transylvanian plateau, came under their rule. The slave-owning Romans brought with them a superior civilisation and mixed with the conquered tribes to form a Daco-Roman people speaking a Latin tongue. A noted visitor during the Roman period was the Latin poet Ovid, who was exiled to the Black Sea by the Emperor Augustus.Faced with Goth attacks in 271, Emperor Aurelian decided to withdraw the Roman legions and administration south of the Danube, but the Romanised Valach peasants remained in Dacia. Waves of migrating peoples, including the Goths, Huns, Avars, Slavs, Bulgars and Hungarians, swept across this territory from the 4th to 10th centuries. The Romanians survived in village communities and gradually assimilated the Slavs and other peoples who settled there. By the 10th century a fragmented feudal system ruled by a military class had appeared.

69. Romanian Speleological Institute Engaged in interdisciplinary speleological research in romania. Includes institute history. http://www.uib.no/People/nglbn/iser.htm

Romanian Speleological Institute In 1920, Emil Racovita , one of the most prominent Romanian biologists, founded the first speological institute in the world, at Cluj. This institute was conceived as a universal model for the synthetic basic research of the subterranean domain. In the organization and orientation of the speological research, Emil Racovita cooperated with two well-known scientists: a Frenchman, Rene Jeannel, an eminent entomologist and a Swiss, P.A. Chappuis, a specialist in subterranean aquatic Crustacea. After a period of eclipse during World War II, in 1956, under the direction of Professor Constantin Motas, Traian Orghidan and Margareta Dumitrescu, the Speleological Institute was reorganized, in two centres, one in Bucharest and one in Cluj. In 1958, its founder's name became the emblem of the renewed "Emil Racovita" Speological Institute which was meant to continue the complex scientific investigation of the underground, including Biospeleology, Physical Speleology and Speleopaleontology. Organised after 1990 under the auspices of the Romanian Academy, the Speleological Institute consists of five departments representing the following branches: Biospeleology, Phreatobiology, Speleopaleontology, Geospeology and Regional Karstology and Karst Cadastre. Similar directions are also developed in Speleological department in Cluj with emphasis on Speleoclimatology and Glaciology.

Travel Information Contact Addresses Overview General Information Passport/Visa ... Maps Regions and Cities Home World Europe Romania History and Government History: Ethnic Romanians are descendants of the Dacians, one of the Romanised Thracian tribes that inhabited the Balkan peninsula during the first millennium BC. After surviving numerous invasions and regional upheavals, during which provinces were annexed variously to Hungary, Austria and the Ottoman Empire, Romania became an independent country with a monarchy in 1877. Romania entered the Second World War on the side of the Axis powers but, following military defeats and internal political pressure, the regime was overthrown in 1944 and replaced by a coalition government of communists, liberals and social democrats. The Communists gradually established their political hegemony within the Government. In 1947 the monarchy was deposed and the Government declared the Romanian People's Republic. Nicolae Ceausescu assumed the post of First Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) in 1965 and held power in the country until the dramatic, bloody and largely unpredicted revolution during Christmas 1989. Despite being a member of the Warsaw Pact and the COMECON trading bloc, Romania was inclined to pursue independent policies, particularly with regard to military and foreign policy matters: Ceausescu refused to allow other Warsaw Pact military forces to maintain bases in the country, and in 1968 he vigorously denounced the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia.

The oldest traces of human habitation in Romania date from the paleolithic (stone age) period. Settled communities whose residents engaged in hunting, agriculture and stock breeding appeared ten thousand years ago. During the second millenium B.C., the Romanian area was inhabited by the autonomous Thracians, an Indo-European people, who merged with the native population to produce the Dacian people. Tribes arose, federations were formed and small kingdoms emerged. During the first century B.C. a strong independent Dacian Kingdom arose, centered in the Orastie Mountains of southern Transylvania, where it developed its political. economic and military center at Sarmisagetusa. It grew to include approximately the entire territory of modern Romania and established trading relations with the Greek cities founded on the Black Sea coast. An aristocratic class and a non-aristocratic, but free, class of citizens evolved, while slaves were used only on a small scale for domestic service. The religion of the Thraco-Dacians was monotheistic and centered on the worshop of Zalmoxes and in the belief in the immortality of the soul. There superior religious ideas allowed Christianity to be easily accepted by the people when the new religion was introduced to them.

They reside in every state of the union and are the twentieth largest of the seventy one European ethnic groups recognized in America. The first Romanian recorded in America was Father Samuil Damian, a Romanian Orthodox priest from Transylvania who travelled in Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia in 1748 and corresponded with Benjamin Franklin regarding electricity, before settling in Charleston, South Carolina. During the American Civil War, several Romanians fought valiently on the Union side. George Pomutz, 15th Iowa Regiment, was elevated to the rank of Brigadier General and captain Nicholas Dunca, 18th Volunteers of New York was killed in action at the Battle of Cross Keys, Virginia. Seaman Constantin Theodorescu was killed while serving aboard the battleship "Maine" when it sunk in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898. A gradual immigration of Romanians commenced in 1880 and increased at the turn of the twentieth century, totaling a hundred thouand by the beginning of World War I. The majority of immigrants came from Transylvania, Banat, and Bucovina, territories under Austro-Hungarian rule, where political ethnic and religious persecution, combined with precarious social and economic conditions, forced Romanians to leave their homes in search of relief in the new world. Spread throughout the continent, the highest concentrations were in New York, New Jersey, and the cities of the Midwest, where the immigrants found employment in the factories, the mines and on the railroads.

History Romania's history has not been as idyllically peaceful as its geography. Over the centuries, various migrating people invaded Romania. Romania's historical provinces Wallachia and Moldova offered furious resistance to the invading Ottoman Turks. Transylvania was successively under Hapsburg, Ottoman or Wallachian rule, while remaining an autonomous province. Romania's post WWII history as a communist-block nation is more widely known, primarily due to the excesses of the former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. In December 1989 a national uprising led to his overthrow. The 1991 Constitution established Romania as a republic with a multiparty system, market economy and individual rights of free speech, religion and private ownership.

Most of its inhabitants were originally from the region of Thrace, in Greece; they were called Getae by the Greeks, and later, by the Romans, they were known as Dacians. Between 101 and 106 AD Dacia was conquered by the Roman emperor Trajan and incorporated into the Roman Empire as a province. Roman colonists were sent into Dacia, and Rome developed the region considerably, building roads, bridges, and a great wall that stretched from what is today the Black Sea port of Constanta across the region of Dobruja to the Danube River.
