The Early History of Bucharest
The early dwellings on the local territorial regions and the nearby areas of the Ilfov County extending to its modern city of Wallachia capital and its present capital of Romania unfold the profound history of Bucharest.
Majority of Bucharest and Ilfov territorial lands are engulfed by the wide forests of Codrii Vlasiei. Its vast forest areas specifically in the Colentina and Dambovita valleys are the location of the common dwellings of the widespread settlements during the early Paleolithic period. Different cultures were introduced to Bucharest. The Glina culture was introduced to Bucharest in the Neolithic period and in the early 19th century BC it has joined the Gumelnita culture. The third part of the Glina culture in the Bronze Age that was revolving on pastoralism and briefly superimposed by the Gulmelnita culture evolved in Bucharest lands along with the Tei culture.
The Getae and Dacians population were recognized to inhabit the area during the Iron Age. The view that the two clusters, both of Indo-European language, are similarly one and the same was disputed. Bucharest's latter culture however is highly associated with the Dacians which are small populations that inhabit different regions of Bucharest namely Radu Voda, Pantelimon, Herastrau, Damaroaia, Popesti-Leordeni and Lacul Tei. These are the inhabitants that are closely involved with the Greek cities and Romans. The ancient Greek coins were believed to have been discovered in Lacul Tei and Herastrau along with some of its numerous counterfeit counterparts. The coins and jewels of Romans originate from Lacul Tei and Giulesti.
Apart from the Muntenia's short siege by Constantine I troops in 330's Bucharest never became under the Roman power. It was in Bucharest soils where the coins were discovered on different locations during the Valens and Valentinians I and Constantine regimes. During the age of migration it was believed that the locals of Bucharest were Romanized following the retreat of the Roman armies from the region. Several dwellings were created by the Slavs around the regions of Bucharest as stressed out as tagged by Ilfov that comes from elha meaning alder, Snagov, Colentina, Chiajna and Glina. There was an assimilation of the Slavic populace prior to the end of Dark Ages. This region is comprised of the First Bulgarian Empire from 681 to c.1000.
The commercial trading with the Byzantine Empire was proven by the excavations of the Byzantine coins from strategic locations during the 9th to the 12th centuries. The region was predisposed to series of invasion by the Cumans and Pechenegs and was sieged by the Mongols when Europe invaded the region in 1241. A dispute took place between the Second Bulgarian Empire and Magyars.
