| Additional information |
Romania's 1922 coronation at Alba Iulia was itself a deliberate political act — Ferdinand and Maria chose the city precisely because it was where the 1918 unification of Transylvania with Romania had been proclaimed, cementing the symbolism of Greater Romania in a single ceremony. This 2022 issue marks the centenary of that event. Alba Iulia had hosted the coronation of Romanian rulers before, but the 1922 ritual was the first conducted under the Romanian Orthodox rite, a pointed departure from the Catholic traditions of the Habsburgs who had ruled Transylvania for centuries.
