Profesorul Constantin Daicoviciu

  • Subiect: Constantin Daicoviciu is a name of a well-deserved prestige not only within the scientific community of Cluj, the town he lived and created during his youth, but in the whole country. Highly respected by students and fellows, a tireless archaeologist and a historian above all, largely appreciated in the country and abroad, member of the Romanian Academy and a prestigious cultural personality is what Constantin Daicoviciu was. Constantin Daicoviciu was pre-eminently a professor for his students, for his younger fellows and researchers. Man of a vast culture, an excellent connoisseur of the ancient civilisations, up to day with the novelties in the field, a great historian and a perfect creator is what Constantin Daicoviciu was. He began his researches with the Roman Dacia and dedicated two decades to that, and so he came to a really deep knowledge and an unalterable belief concerning the Romanization of the Dacians and their irreversible comprising in the Latin world, as a the Roman people. His unexhausted scientific curiosity, as he used to say once in Sarmizegetusa, the Dacians’ capital, was to make him to want to see and know how exactly the Roman civilisation could be engrafted in Dacia. The diggings began in Sarmizegetusa in 1924 under Professor Dimitrie Teodorescu leadership, and Alexandru Ferenczi as the main assistant. They did not progress the first 2 decades due to the financial difficulties especially. Constantin Daicoviciu assisted by Octavian Floca resumed them in 1943. The first step required by a scientific method was a surface investigation in order to identify the places with Dacian vestiges and make the local cartogram as it was the unique possibility to draw up the entire image of those vestiges on 200 km2. The systematic researches naturally followed and Constantin Daicoviciu led them till the end of his life. The main monuments there were investigated and the results consisted in discovering and publishing the most advanced European civilisation outside the Roman Empire by the beginning of the 2nd c. A. D. It was a valuable trunk for the Roman graft, entirely able to receive that graft. All the professor's works have kept their scientific importance till our days. 30 years after his death, we still wonder what admire firstly: his vast scientific curiosity, his tireless investigation work, his penetrating mind, his capacity to build synthesis in the field, his respect for the scientific truth, or how he dedicated his entire life to his beloved people. All of them of course, and also his example of competence and devotion. Our memory and appreciation related to them might be a strong connection between us, as finally this is the unique one to link our world to the work of the gone people.
