The Romans and Dacians both played an important role in Romanian nationalism and in the construction of the modern Romanian identity. Their relationship is complex and frequently in conflict, as the political climate determined which mythical ancestor was seen as advantageous at the time. We suggest that the Roman ancestry was fundamental for the initial stages of Romanian nation and state-building, providing Romanians with a noble origin and a connection to Western Europe. As the Romanian state grew more mature throughout the 20th century, emphasis shifted to the Dacians, giving the nation even deeper, prehistoric roots which doubled as a claim to territory. In this article we explore the historical process of how the Romans and Dacians have endured together in Romanian popular imagination.
