Summary/Abstract: One of the priorities of Cluj University after its inauguration in the autumn of 1919 was the endowment with teachers and their specialization. If some of the teachers were from Transylvania, another part came from the kingdom of Romania in order to help create university specialities in Cluj. Vasile Pârvan was the most important teacher who came to Cluj, but he also brought with him his collaborators from the University of Bucharest. For the study of ancient history, he brought George Mateescu and Emil Panaitescu. Immediately after the inauguration of the courses at the University of Cluj, Pârvan founded in Rome a highly specialized school, the Romanian School in Rome, whose director became. Among the first members of the School he also brought to Rome his two disciples from Cluj, which he specialized in techniques and research methodologies in the history of Antiquity. The two scholars, Mateescu and Panaitescu, will become directors of the Romanian School in Rome after the death of Pârvan and will coordinate new and new specialists from Cluj, Bucharest, Iaşi and Cernăuţi, the institution in Rome becoming the main provider of humanist intellectuals for the Romania of the following decades.
