As Pharaohs were once buried next to a treasure, Iulian was buried next to his distance learning engineer diploma. Not because he believed in education, neither in this world nor in the afterworld, but because he believed a diploma is all you need to prove you are not stupid.
At the time of his death Iulian Radulescu was 79 years old and self-proclaimed himself “emperor of all Roma everywhere” under the name of Iulian I on August 9, 1993.
In 1997, Iulian Radulescu announced Cem Romengo, the first Roma state in Targu Jiu, southwestern Romania. According to Radulescu, “This state has a symbolic value and does not affect the sovereignty and unity of Romania”.
The emperor is dead! Long live the emperor!
