About this person
Like Odobescu, he pioneered Dacology - his acclaimed graduation paper from the University of Bucharest (1889) was focused on the Cabeiri cult in Roman Dacia. He was also discovered as both an intellectual and political ally by political philosopher Titu Maiorescu, who inducted him into Junimea society. With Odobescu and Maiorescu's support, Antonescu was able to study abroad, then to return home to teaching posts at Saint Sava National College, and then at the University of Iași. From Iași, he directed the effort to revive Junimist activities. For a while, he mainly expressed himself through Convorbiri Literare, a Junimist review of which he was also editor; it hosted his numerous essays on ancient art and history, going as far back as the origin and evolution of mankind.
