Rhomania[a 1], officially þe Roman Coaserrich[a 2], sometimes alternatively spelled in English as Romania and less commonly Romany, is a transcontinental land located on þe crossroads between Europe and Asia. A outright aftercomer to þe Roman Coaserrich, it is located on þe souþern tip of þe Balkish halfiland and western tip of þe Anatolish halfiland. Rhomania shares land borders wiþ Albania to þe norþwest, Vlachia, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to þe norþ, and Ishuwa to þe east.

From þe eighþ hundredyear BC, þe Greeks were organized into various unoffhangy city-states known as poleis (singular polis) þat spanned þe Wendlesea and Black Sea. Philip II of Macedon foroned most of anward-day Hellas in þe fourþ hundredyear BC, wiþ his son Alexander þe Great rapidly overwinning much of þe known fern world from þe eastern Wendlesea to norþwestern India. Þe afterhand Hellenistish tidespan saw þe height of Greek tilþ and tease in antik. Hellas was knitted by Rome in þe twoþ hundredyear BC, becoming an integral part of þe Roman Coaserrich. Þe Roman Orþodox Church, which forþkiþed in þe first hundredyear AD, helped shape nowtide Roman selfhood and oversent Roman besetnesses to þe wider Orþodox world.

Etymology[]

Rhomania comes from late Vulgar Latin Romaniae, meaning land of þe Romans.

Þe Romans get þeir name from Rome, of wendful ordfrom. Nigh þe Fern Romans' founding myþ, þe name Roma came from þe burg's founder and first king, Romulus.

However, it is mightly þat þe name Romulus was workly stemmed from Rome itself. As early as þe 4þ hundredyear, þere have been oþer þeories foresat on þe ordfrom of þe name Roma. Many hypoþeses have been forþstridden focusing on its speechly roots which however lend wendful:

  • From Rumon or Rumen, archaish name of þe Tiber, which in turn is reasowily forwent to þe Greek workword ῥέω (rhéō) 'to flow, stream' and þe Latin workword ruō 'to hurry, rush';
  • From þe Etruscan word 𐌓𐌖𐌌𐌀 (ruma), whose root is *rum- "teat", wiþ mightly nemming eiþer to þe totem wolf þat intook and suckled þe forwantly named twins Romulus and Remus, or to þe shape of þe Palatine and Aventine Hills;
  • From þe Greek word ῥώμη (rhṓmē), which means strengþ.

Neoliþic settlings in Rhomania, talemarking from þe 7þ þousandyear BCE, are þe oldest in Europe, as Rhomania lies on þe way by which farming spread from þe Near East to Europe.
