It is my understanding, that many Roman soldiers retired to Romania (it was called Dacia then) and then their descendents intermarried with Slavs who arrived later. So today’s Romanians are mainly a Slavic, Roman solider mix. The Roman army kicked the Angles and Saxons around Europe like a soccer ball for hundreds of years (enslaving many of them while they were at it) and the Slavs kicked the Angles and Saxons out of Bohemia and Poland without breaking a sweat (which inspired many to run off with their tails between their legs to a cold and rainy island off the coast of France so they could be kicked around by the Vikings a few centuries later ).

If you weren't on the west coast, I would swear you are someone in my office who is a serious history buff.
