Romagna (pronounced Romania) is indeed a region of Italy and has been called that long before Romania was called "Romania".


And before that was the name of the Empire incorrectly designated today as Byzantine.

Radub, Aeromagazin isn't publishing articles related to Romania anymore, because the editor doesn't consider it interesting enough. Modelism has limited space and aircraft have to share it with ships and tanks. Top Gun seems to have abandoned the historical articles related to the Romanian military as well and are focusing on making incessant lobby for the JAS-39 Gripen.

But this is getting off-topic and I suggest you get back to the models.

I also notice that many places in Romania have 2 or 3 names, I'm assuming one in Romanian, one in Hungarian (from when part of the Empire) and one in German (ie Transylvania = Siebenburgen?) from the Teutonic Knights?

This is off-topic, but let me clarify the situation of multiple dwelling names: since Transylvania is inhabited by several ethnic groups - the main ones being Rumanians, Hungarians and Germans (and Gypsies, one might add) - most localities have multiple names, used even currently by members of these ethnic groups.

There are other ethnic minorities living in other parts of the country as well, they also having their own names for the localities they live in.

If you'd travel in those areas, you'd will notice that the names of localities inhabited by significant percentage of ethnic minorities (over 20%) are displayed in several languages.

Kinda like how roadsigns in Canada are in English and French, and something like 1/3 of Americans speak Spanish? wink.gif

This has definately gotten off topic, but I'm afraid if we try to start a new thread somewhere else the conversation will die out.
