Re: Great modern art of history
Well I know the root slavic word means thievery or raiders or bandits. In Romanian it goes along the line of "battle" or "war." We also have Lupta. Razboinici would be like "warriors"Originally Posted by il padrino

Re: Great modern art of history
I actually am wondering, to continue this topic: does anyone have any good sources of historical reconstructions? I need accurate, modern drawings of warriors from the past. Higher quality drawings are appreciated, but accuracy should be given priority. Osprey seems really popular here though the accuracy of those books are... meh.
Yeah, razboi means war, so warrior would be "razboinic" ("razboinici" = plural, "razboinicii" = articulated plural). It's interesting to consider the etymologies of these warrior terms. For instance "sergeant" today is derived from "servant", even though the sergeant today is more used to giving orders than taking them.

Re: Great modern art of history
Război has a Slavic origin where it had the sense of plunder, killing. I guess Romanians who suffered too many invasions were very aware of the true nature of the war. In Serbo-Croat the word is Rat . Is this word related with Război? I know in other Slav languages (the majority) the word is Vojina.
