Romanian History

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania
Wikipedia covers a wide range of information, some sections more useful than others, but it contains the best general information about Romania in English. This is probably the most interesting website available.

Excellent site covering ancient Romanian history. There is a lot of information in Romanian and some in English. In the future the English sections will grow with the help of Teaching and Projects Abroad volunteers. There is an interesting the part about the falx (dacia weapon).

This is the website of the The Brasov County Museum of History. There are some images but unfortunatly a lot of information is missing: the histiory of the Brasov County, digging sites, interesting discoveries. Even the information that it is is very poor.

General information about Romanian history. Not enough historical information for an archaeologist or for a historian but it covers all the major aspects of Romanian history. It also has some interesting appendices: Dracula, between legend and reality; the monarchy in Romania; the Orthodox Church in Romania; Nicolae Ceausescu, a modern despot.
