Dionisie Fotino

Dionisie Fotino was a Romanian historian of Greek origin.^[1] He is one of the first scholars to propose a Daco-Roman ancestry for the Romanians by stating, in his History of Old Dacia of 1818, that "the Romans and Dacians, crossbreeding, created a distinct, mixed people" in Dacia Traiana province.^[2]
