The territory of today's Romania was inhabited since at least 513 BC by the Getae or Dacians, a Thracian tribe.

His powerful state was divided in four and did not become unified ...

At the age of 12, he was sent to Craiova, in service to boyar Glogoveanu , where he would later learn rethoric, grammar and the Greek language.
