Not a very impressive monument, similar with the one in Rome.

It's a statue commemorating the Roman conquest of Dacia. Ancient Dacia occupied roughly the same geographic area as modern Romania and Moldova.
Just a mediocre statue with historical hints. However, being in the city centre, it makes things a bit more interesting.
The Italian state gave to Romania, as a gift, this emblematic statue in 1906 - as a recognition of our common origin, about the origin of the name Romania - citizen of the Roman Empire, two thousands years ago and so on. In Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus are twin brothers, whose story tells the events that led to the founding of the city of Rome and the Roman Kingdom by Romulus. Since ancient times, the image of the twins being suckled by a she-wolf has been a symbol of the city of Rome and the Roman people. Although the tale takes place before the founding of Rome around 750 BC. So, look, in a public place from Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, you may found this important symbol as a monument dedicated to our common Latin history! In the vicinity, they decorated a passage (under the Ion C. Bratianu boulevard) with some very impressive basreliefs about the fights between the army of the Dacia state and the Roman Empire...
Extraordinary
Ok
The area is basically a construction site, and the passage underneath the boulevard is an exhibition of toxic nationalism... but the statue worths a few minutes of detour.
Cool place for pictures.
