Iosif Constantin Drăgan
Iosif Constantin Drăgan (1917–2008) was a Romanian billionaire and historian known for his significant financial contributions to the creation of the 'Chipul lui Decebal' monument, a massive sculpture of the Dacian king Decebal on the banks of the Danube River. He authored several volumes on Romanian ancient history, including the well-received 'Noi, tracii. Istoria multimilenară a neamului românesc', which gained favor during the Ceaușescu regime. Despite his contributions, Drăgan faced criticism post-1990 for his perceived promotion of protochronism, emphasizing the Dacian roots of Romanians.
