          I assume so. Just compare the amount of resources both parties are able to invest in PR - if the Romans had defeated them, you’d have heard by now.

            I thought Julius Caesar declared them gods after two of em completed 11 tasks, with a distant ancestor of John Oliver officiating the tasks, and then the entire village broke The Circus Maximus during the 12th task…

      According to the anthem, romanians claim to have the blood of the romans and the name of Trajan, meaning that everyone in Romania had fathers that had fathers that had fathers… that were the sons of the roman emperor that conquered Dacia

          You remember wrong. It just means “of rome” and it’s that because it was a roman province. There’s a difference between “of rome” which is what “român” means and “the true descendants of Rome” which is what you’re claiming. We’ve never claimed to be more Roman than Italians or anything. That’d be stupid.

    Romania used to be called Dacia before the Romans committed genocide over there. It was named after the car brand.
