Romanian archaeologists have unearthed an unknown Roman stronghold dating back more than 2,000 years

Yes, that would be why it's called ROMANia. The Romans conquered a part of what is now Romania, and Romanian is actually not a Slavic language, it's Romance, deriving most of its structure from Latin. Interesting article, too.

Roman soldiers on retirement were given land. Many in Romania.
