La genèse deì villes du sud-est de la Moldavie et les rapports commerciaux des XIIIe-XIVe siècles

Abstract

Due to the great migrations the all but few ancient cities in between the
Carpathians and the Dniester disappeared altogether and could not be rebuilt for over one thousand years. The overall development of the Romanian
society, the intrusion of the Genovese and the Greeks upon the north-western
coast of the Black Sea, and the Mongol domination in the regions of the
Lower Danube greatly favoured the economic life in the territories east of
the Carpathians. The dynamic trade relations were largely responsible for
the emergence in the 13th-14th centuries of the urban centres at Cetatea Alb
(Asprocastron, Moncastro, Akkerman, Belgorod), Orheiul Vechi and Costeşti.
