Zalău Museum to host conference on Romanization and the Dacian Paradox

The Zalău County Museum of History and Art in Romania will host an international conference titled ‘The Concept of Romanization and the Dacian Paradox’. The event, scheduled for October 29, 2026, will feature Dr. Gustavo Sartin, a researcher from the University of São Paulo, Brazil.

Dr. Sartin, a specialist in ancient Roman history, will discuss the complexities of the relationship between Roman conquerors and conquered populations, as well as the social and cultural transformations within the Roman province. The lecture aims to move beyond traditional interpretations to examine how historians currently understand the Romanization of Dacia.
