This paper appeared as a necessity on the scientific book market, after the first edition of the volume, published in 2010, was sold out in record time. The second edition comes with a large number of additions, with new results and hypotheses that interest not only the world of specialists but also public opinion in general.
The work, in A4 format, has 324 pages and numerous relevant color images and can be purchased at launch, with a 25% discount on the sale price.
"The volume is a masterpiece of wit and a model of innovative historiographical vision. This complex book is - like Nicolae Densusianu's "DACIA PEISTORICA" ("PREHISTORIC DACIA") or Vasile Parvan's "GETICEI" ("GETICEI") - a real milestone in the field of Romanian historiography, inviting and obliging from this moment, the amplification of historical research to the ambit of multidisciplinarity."
