I recall once speaking with a fellow Romanian that he claimed Romanian actually invented the Latin language and teached it to the Romans trough the Dacian.
Loooooooooool!
And that was, in fact, the great Roman Empire. Roman as in
Romanian. Of course! There is, in fact, no (word) connection between
Roman Empire and
Italy, right? But think about that:
Roman Empire and
Romania

Rings a bell?
I think I am already seeing my history with different eyes now...
