Roşiorii de Vede (Romanian pronunciation: [roʃiˌorij de ˈvede]; sometimes Roşiori de Vede or, in old versions, Ruşii de Vede) is a municipality in Teleorman, Wallachia, one of the oldest cities in Romania. It was first mentioned in a document which dates back to 1385, when the city was visited by two German pilgrims who were returning from Jerusalem and stopped for a few days in a town they called Russenart.[citation needed]
Several Romanian personalities were born in and around the city, such as Iulian Miu, Radu Grămăticu, Alexandru Depărăţeanu, Gala Galaction, Petru Bellu, Zaharia Stancu, and Marin Preda.
