When the Danube finishes its wandering trip through Europe it passes the southern reaches of the Carpathian Mountains and runs suddenly free across the plain. Its waters empty into the Black Sea where they connect with the Straits of Bosporus and the Mediterranean.
People follow the water.
Up from the Mediterranean, across the Black Sea, down the Danube, they came to the mouth of the Danube. The story of Romanian culture is the story of those peoples and the marks they left behind. In legend Dionysius was born here and Jason was here on his search for the Golden Fleece. B.C. the Greeks came to Tomis and Istria to trade with the Dacian peoples of Transylvania. The Romans came here.
