Before delving into Volume 10 specifically, one must understand the scale of the project. Istoria Românilor (The History of the Romanians) is the official, definitive historical synthesis published by the Romanian Academy. Initiated after the fall of communism to replace the ideologically compromised histories of the Ceaușescu era, this multi-volume series represents the consensus of Romania’s top historians. It stretches from prehistory, through Dacia and the Roman occupation, the Middle Ages, the Phanariot era, the modern nation-state building, and up to the tumultuous 20th century.
