Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the Romanian protochronism between the years 1965- 1989. By analyzing the social, political and economical context and through several relevant articles, I have traced the implications it had on the society at large. I concluded that the Romanian protochronism is in and out of itself an exaggeration, and an attempt at Romanian exceptionalism, in which the personality cult of the infamous Ceausecu family was demanded, and at times enforced.
