![]() The appearance of migrants of Indian origin in Romanian Principalities added to extant social stratification. ![]() 2 The course of life and the socio-economic contexts generated by the successive territorial occupations of migratory people, have determined the social stratifications and the forms of survival of communities (Stahl, H.H. The co-existence of free peasants ( moșneni, moșteni) and dependent peasants ( rumâni, vecini) is ancient, most likely from the period of ethnological survival followed by the withdrawal of the Roman army cum administration from the northern Danube region. There were many restrictions on social freedom in Romanian Principalities, ranging from serfdom and slavery 1 to subservient peasantry ( rumânia), to Țigani as rob slaves. Robia (Gypsy slavery) may represent such a local synthesis which is unlike the sin-induced slavery described in the Bible, and different from the Roman slavery of the Principalities’ past. Geopolitically, the Danubian Principalities are an intersection of Christian and Muslim civilisations, the Catholic West and Orthodox Byzantium, a space for synthesis of several political, economic, and social institutions taken over or transposed.
