Denta (Hungarian: Denta; German: Denta; Serbian: Дента, romanized: Denta; Banat Bulgarian: Dénta) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Breștea, Denta (commune seat), Rovinița Mare and Rovinița Mică.
Geography
Denta is located in the southwest of Timiș County, about 40 km (25 mi) south of Timișoara and 5 km (3.1 mi) south of Deta, the nearest town.[2] It is crossed by the river Bârzava, canalized from Denta to Serbia.

The first recorded mention of Rovinița Mare dates from 1288, under the name Humur.[9] The census of 1717 recorded it with 60 houses and as part of the district of Ciacova. Rovinița Mare became the property of the Austrian Aerarium, and in 1779 German settlers were brought here. At the same time, rice cultivation begins in the village. Later, Hungarian settlers are brought here. Towards the end of the 19th century, they outnumbered the Romanians, while the Germans remained a smaller community. South of Rovinița Mare, 80 families of German settlers founded Rovinița Mică in 1895. The land was made available to them by the Aerarium. The villages were originally known as Omor and Omoru Mic, the Romanianized versions of the Hungarian Omor and Kisomor, respectively. These names were changed by Decree no. 799/1964, since the communist authorities deemed them strange (in Romanian, omor means "murder").[10]
