Summary/Abstract: The document explores how Sarmatism in Poland and Dacianism in Romania played crucial roles in the formation of national identities during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Both ideologies were rooted in historical narratives and symbolisms specific to their respective cultures. Sarmatism idealized the Polish nobility as descendants of the ancient Sarmatians, emphasizing values like freedom and honor, while Dacianism glorified the Dacians as noble ancestors of the Romanians, highlighting themes of resistance and autochthony. These ideologies were instrumental in shaping national consciousness, especially in contexts of political subjugation and cultural renaissance, and continued to influence national identity even in the interwar period.
