Summary/Abstract: A historian with an exceptional acuity, N. Iorga addressed at length the role of maritime and fluvial spaces in universal and Romanian history. In the courses held at the Higher War School, on the occasion of other conferences, as well as in his great syntheses, the scientist tackled the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the great rivers, such as the Rhine and the Danube, emphasizing that they were spaces of intersection of the interests of large and small riparian and non-riparian powers. Iorga conceptualized the phrase “the magnetism of the seas”, which all the peoples of the Pontic and Mediterranean basin had, from antiquity to the dawn of the contemporary era.
