About me A Romanian born in Cluj-Napoca, who spent a long time in Boston and currently living in Basel I love history and archaeology, especially related to Dacians and Romans, the founding nations of Romania Other interests include birdwatching, ecological restoration, nature conservation, space exploration and astronomy Created WikiProject Dacia, WikiProiectul Dacia (in Romanian) and Commons:WikiProject Dacia to better organize the content related to ancient Dacia Maintaining WikiProject Romania and created Commons:WikiProject Romania I despise deletionists and people who spend their time, energy and effort to delete and destroy others work (often without any attempt to communicate), instead of creating and collaborating. They are usually the same people who attempt to force their views down the throats of others. Striving to keep neutrality in my work and judgment, and above all an open mind. Current projects I am a member of many projects, but currently focusing most of my efforts on: WikiProject Dacia - aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to Dacia and Dacians. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Feel free to join! WikiProject Romania - aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to Romania.

Jewellery chains are typically made from precious metals such as gold and silver, and have been worn since antiquity, with examples known from ancient Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. This gold chain, dating from the late 16th century and now in the collection of Livrustkammaren (the Swedish royal armoury), comprises 48 oval links alternating between garnet-set and rock-crystal-set designs, decorated with blue and white enamel. It may be a smaller version of King Charles IX's chain for the Order of Jehova, created in 1607, although another theory suggests that it was made by the goldsmith Ruprecht Miller and worn by King Gustavus Adolphus at his declaration of authority in 1611.Artefact credit: possibly Ruprecht Miller; photographed by Erik Lernestål On this day June 6: National Day of Sweden; Queensland Day in Queensland, Australia Fuad Stephens 1513 – War of the League of Cambrai: Milanese forces with Swiss mercenaries defeated the French in Novara, forcing them to withdraw from the Duchy of Milan and Italy. 1894 – Governor Davis Hanson Waite ordered the Colorado state militia to protect and support miners engaged in a five-month strike in Cripple Creek. 1971 – Vietnam War: Australian forces attacked a heavily fortified North Vietnamese base camp at the Battle of Long Khánh. 1976 – A plane crashed near Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Malaysia, killing politicians Fuad Stephens (pictured) and Peter Joinud Mojuntin, along with nine others. 2021 – A man rammed a pickup truck into Muslim Pakistani Canadian pedestrians in Ontario, Canada, killing four members of the same family.
