Românul (, meaning "The Romanian"; originally spelled
Romanulu or
Românulu, also known as
Romînul,
Concordia,
Libertatea and
Consciinti'a Nationala), was a political and literary newspaper published in
Bucharest,
Romania, from 1857 to 1905. Established as the leading voice of
Romanian liberalism (the "Red" faction) in the state of
Wallachia, it had direct connections to the
radical ideology of Western Europe. Its founder and director was the aristocrat
C. A. Rosetti, known as
Romantic poet,
Masonic promoter and left-wing activist, seconded by the brothers
Ion C. Bratianu and
Dimitrie Bratianu.
Românuls roots were planted in the
1848 revolutionary movement, whose press organ,
Pruncul Român, was a direct predecessor.
