Oltenia

Oltenia is a historical province and geographical region of Romania in western Wallachia. It is situated between the Danube, the Southern Carpathians and the Olt river.

Initially inhabited by Dacians, Oltenia was incorporated in the Roman Empire . In 129, during Hadrian's rule, it formed Dacia Inferior, one of the two divisions of the province ; Marcus Aurelius' administrative reform made Oltenia one of the three new divisions as Dacia Malvensis, its capital and chief city being named Romula. It was colonized with veterans of the Roman legions. The Romans withdrew their administration south of the Danube at the end of the 3rd century and Oltenia was ruled by the foederati Germanic Goths. In the late 4th century Oltenia came under the rule of the Taifals before invasion by the Huns.
