Well, I beg you are one of the shcolars who do not belive in the
emigration of Romanians from SOuth to North of Danube , but beieves in
the continuity of them in Dacia:))

And I beg you are not one of the shcolars who belives that Romanian's
cradle has been on the both shores of Danube since the south one was
inside of the Roman Empire, so there could not be any isolation :-)))

P.S. 274= withdraw of the romans. And the Romanians are what? Are they
not anymore the Romans then? Well, funny logic..
