From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ţinutul Prut was one of the ten Romanian ţinuturi founded in 1938, after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration. It comprised parts of central Moldavia (and central Bessarabia), and was named after the Prut River; its capital was the city of Iaşi.
[edit] Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms is party per cross in nine equal squares, representing the former nine counties (judeţe) of Greater Romania (71 in total) which it included. The four of the squares forming the arms of the cross are of argent; all other squares are gules. The four argent squares bear a sable aurochs head (the symbol of Moldavia - see Flag and coat of arms of Moldavia).
[edit] Former counties incorporated
After the 1938 Administrative and Constitutional Reform, the older 71 counties lost their authority. The list below just helps drawing the map.
