Not to be confused with Direcția 5 formed by Marian Ionescu. Created by the former drummer of the original band Florin Ionescu with whom he brought the members from the old one. The reason for this split is unknown, some theorize that it was due to M. Ionescu's idea to orient on mainstream pop-rock to fit on for the collaboration with Loredana Groza. It was also named Direcția V (with roman numerals) and Noua Romă (translated: The New Rome), the band lasted from 1996 to 1998.
