Called by Nikephor Phokas in 966 as an ally, Svyatoslav transformed his campaigns of 967-968 and 969 into a conquest of Bulgaria and into an anti- Byzantine war. The general Bardas Skleros at Arkadiopolis stopped his offensive towards Constantinople. During the spring of 971, the new emperor John Tzimiskes began a great offensive. He conquered Pres lav, Pliska and next he besieged Dristra (the city where Svyatoslav took refuge)'. The Russians withdraw the city and the Byzantine army extended its domination over the territory of the former Roman provinces Moesia Secunda and Scythia. The military and administrative structure of the conquered region could be known by mean of the seals discovered at Preslav and in other places and also from the data transmitted by the so-called Tata:Icon Scorialensis (published by N. Oiko- nomides). In this list of dignities written down sometime between 971 and 975 are mentioned a strategos of Dristra and a strategos of aprovince liamed MEaonotaltia; Aimee); (Western Mesopotamia)2. The latter is different from the well-known eastern Mesopotamia and it was located by N. Oikonomides and by other historians in the Danubian area3. In this respect, there is no doubt. Another dignity mentioned in Takiikon Scorialensis is that of katepano of Mesopotamia (listed between the duke of Chaldea and the katepano of Italy). N. Oikonomides supposed that the katepano of Mesopotamia has the first place among the western commanders in the list that begins with the two katepanoi and follows with the dukes of Thessalonic, Adrianople and so on. The whole group of the western commanders follows the oriental one. Therefore, Oikonomides 1 A detailed study on these events: A.D.

This strategos is mentioned just after the strategos of Dristra. This fact could suggest that both were subordinated to the katepano of Western Mesopotamia4. We do not agree the location of this katepanikion in the western part of the Empire. Why its name does not specify the western position, like the strategos of Western Mesopotamia ? The location in Orient of the katepano of Mesopotamia is more probable because he is mentioned together with the eastern dukes of Chaldea and Antioch5. Therefore, the situation recorded in Taktikon Scorialensis does not support the theory of the existence of a katepano in Western Mesopotamia. This theme existed indeed near the Danube, but its head was a strategos. Based on the

  • Visualizing the Byzantine City the Art of Memory
    Abstracts Visualizing the Byzantine City Charalambos Bakirtzis Depictions of cities: in the icon “Allegory of Jerusalem on High,” two cities are depicted, one in the foothills and the other at the edge of a rocky mountain. The lengthy inscription of the icon is of interest from a town-planning and architectural standpoint. The imperial Christian city: in the mosaics of the Rotunda in Thessalonike, the city is not shown with walls, but with palaces and other splendid public buildings, declaring the emperor’s authority as the sole ruler and guarantor of the unity of the state and the well-being of cities, which was replaced by the authority of Christ. The appearance of the walled city: all the events shown in the mosaics (seventh century) of the basilica of St. Demetrios are taking place outside the walls of the city, probably beside the roads that lead to it. The city’s chora not only protected the city; it was also protected by it. A description of the city/kastron: John Kameniates lived through the capture of Thessalonike by the Arabs in the summer of 904. At the beginning of the narrative, he prefixes a lengthy description/encomium of Thessalonike. The means of approaching the place indicate that the way the city is described by Kameniates suits a visual description. Visualizing the Late Byzantine city: A. In an icon St. Demetrios is shown astride a horse. In the background, Thessalonike is depicted from above. A fitting comment on this depiction of Thessalonike is offered by John Staurakios because he renders the admiration called forth by the large Late Byzantine capitals in connection with the abandoned countryside.

    ANALELE ŞTIINŢIFICE ALE UNIVERSITĂŢII ”AL. I. CUZA“ IAŞI Geologie. Tomul LI, 2005 LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC AND HYDROGEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PLIOCENE-QUATERNARY DEPOSITS FROM SFANTU GHEORGHE AND TARGU SECUIESC SEDIMENTARY DEPRESSIONS, ROMANIA RODICA MACALEŢ, EMIL RADU, RADU CATALINA1 SUMMARY The paper presents some lithostratigraphic and hydrogeologic considerations of Neogene and Quaternary deposits from Sfântu Gheorghe and Târgu Secuiesc depressions, based on information from recent drilling programme. Several hydrogeological cross-sections are presented here to support the geological interpretation and tectonic evolution of the Pliocene-Quaternary deposits in the area. Key words: lithostratigraphy, hydrogeology, Sfântu Gheorghe depression, Târgu Secuiesc depression, groundwater, aquifer strata. INTRODUCTION Starting from Pliocene, the tectonic evolution of the Sfântu Gheorghe and Târgu Secuiesc depressions was favourable for developement of molasse deposits, with high lithological variability and conditions for lignite layers accumulation. This paper is based on new information obtained from water bores, geological drillholes and also from drillholes mainly drilled to assess the potential for the presence of new lignite layers in the area, with emphasis on geology and faunal content of the Pliocene and Quaternary sediments. A number of drillholes from Sfantu Gheorghe and Targu Secuiesc depressions have been investigated by the author. The results are present using several cross-sections and synthetic lithostratigraphic columns, which provide a new base to interpret the geology of the area as well as the groundwater potential. 139 Rodica Macaleţ, Emil Radu, Cătălina Radu GENERAL GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE AREA Based on their geomorphology, Sfântu Gheorghe and Târgu Secuiesc depressions are considered to be part of the Braşov Basin, and are developed on its north-eastern side.

Preda Buzescu great dignity ban occupied briefly in the fall of 1600, called Michael the Brave Preda Buzescu Wallachian boyars filohabsburgice leader was an excellent military commander, who has proved his talent in fighting the Turks, decided partisan alliance with the Emperor Rudolf II. No other ban had the autority of Preda Buzescu, between 1602-1608, in the counties west of river Olt, during the 17th century. He had a chancellery that issued documents without invoking the authority of the prince regnant. Preda Buzescu has ordered the Wallachian*s army. For services faithful to the great dime Preda Buzescu full advantage of his generosity Radu Serban.

  • Gidni 233 People and Places in the History Of
    Section – History and Cultural Mentalities GIDNI PEOPLE AND PLACES IN THE HISTORY OF TÂRGOVIŞTE Cristina Furtună, Assist., PhD Candidate, ”Valahia” University of Târgoviște Abstract: In history, Târgovişte has been an economic, administrative, political center but also a cultural one, particularly important for the Romanian culture. In Târgovişte, the topic of time returns obstinately (Prehistoric Time, Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance Time, Modern Time), understood according to the definition given to it by St. Augustine – mobile image of eternity. Antiquity represented time symbolically as a circle, with 12 astrological signs on it and whose center symbolized the eternity of being. Similarly, Târgovişte is an eternal city of the Oriental Roman world. The symbolical passage from temporal to spatial involves the material evidence, seen as an adversary of extinction in the being’s fight for eternity, concept that permanently joined the terrestrial representation of the existence, so present in the area of Târgovişte. Keywords: Târgovişte, book, writers, places, history, culture, time Introduction In time, Târgovişte has been an economic, administrative, political but also cultural centre, particularly important for the Romanian culture. It was first attested by the documents at the end of the 14th century and culturally thrived at the beginning of the 15th century. Different writing and communication experts appear (grămătici, pisari, dieci but also logofeţi and princely emissaries/ soli domneşti), assuring the commercial and diplomatic connection with the neighboring countries. Târgovişte was also a princely residence and has preserved the marks of its cultural institutions. It is in Târgovişte that the first Romanian grammar appeared and it is also here that erudite scholars such as Macarie, Udrişte Năsturel, senechal Constantin Cantacuzino and voivodes who set up cultural institutions (such as Radu cel Mare, Neagoe Basarab, Mihai Viteazul, Matei Basarab) carried out their activity.

  • 103 Considerations on the Appearance And
    CONSIDERATIONS ON THE APPEARANCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF HUMANITARIAN LEGISLATIVE NORMS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS DURING THE MIDDLE AGES Vitalie RUSU* Abstract During the Middle Ages, war did not aim at glory, but interests, and the peace state was not considered honourable, but humiliating, as initially, the causes of a war could be: the obligation to avenge an offence or a crime, the conflicts between suzerains and vassals, the campaigns against some cities or ending rebellions. Most of the time, for kings, land owners and knights, war was the best choice to prove their power and to increase their wealth. The reason was the spoils of war. However, in all those conflicts, human people were affected, thus generating the need to develop some specific norms in order to protect them. Keywords: Humanitarian Law, war, conflict evolution, early international relations 1. Introductory Remarks At the beginning of feudalism, conquest wars and wars carried out for obtaining supremacy on vast areas were very frequent, and the ways and methods used in fights were very cruel. Later on, the problem of arguing a ―rightful‖ war became a problem. In this respect, regardless of the country, we shall not overlook the following moments: - after the period of feudal conflicts (11th - 12th centuries) an active struggle for limiting and forbidding armed conflicts began. During the same period, the rule according to which war can only be declared by the king was established; - gradually, the so called legal grounds for a ―rightful‖ war appear, among them the returning of stolen property and the country‘s defence.

  • Bram Stoker's Vampire Trap : Vlad the Impaler and His Nameless Double
    BRAM STOKER’S VAMPIRE TRAP VLAD THE IMPALER AND HIS NAMELEss DOUBLE BY HANS CORNEEL DE ROOS, MA MUNICH EMAIL: [email protected] HOMEPAGE: WWW.HANSDEROOS.COM PUBLISHED BY LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY ELECTRONIC PREss S-581 83 LINKÖPING, SWEDEN IN THE SERIES: LINKÖPING ELECTRONIC ARTICLES IN COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE SERIES EDITOR: PROF. ERIK SANDEWALL AbsTRACT Since Bacil Kirtley in 1958 proposed that Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, the best known literary character ever, shared his historical past with the Wallachian Voivode Vlad III Dracula, an intense debate about this connection has developed and other candidates have been suggested, like the Hungarian General János Hunyadi – a proposal resurfacing in the most recent annotated Dracula edition by Leslie Klinger (2008). By close-reading Stoker’s sources, his research notes and the novel, I will demonstrate that Stoker’s narrative initially links his Count to the person of Vlad III indeed, not Hunyadi, although the novelist neither knew the ruler’s first name, nor his father’s name, nor his epithet “the Impaler”, nor the cruelties attributed to him. Still – or maybe for this very reason – Stoker did not wish to uphold this traceable identity: In Chapter 25, shortly before the decisive chase, he removes this link again, by way of silent substitution, cloaked by Professor van Helsing’s clownish distractions. Like the Vampire Lord Ruthven, disappearing through the “vampire trap” constructed by James R. Planché for his play The Brides of the Isles in the English Opera House, later renamed to Lyceum Theatre and run by Stoker, the historical Voivode Vlad III Dracula is suddenly removed from the stage: In the final chapters, the Vampire Hunters pursue a nameless double.

Click to Enlarge Image HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Early Human Settlement: Human settlement first occurred in the lands that now constitute Romania during the Pleistocene Epoch, which began about 600,000 years ago. About 5500 B.C. the region was inhabited by Indo-European people, who in turn gave way to Thracian tribes. Today’s Romanians are in part descended from the Getae, a Thracian tribe that lived north of the Danube River. During the Bronze Age (about 2200 to 1200 B.C.), these Thraco-Getian tribes engaged in agriculture, stock raising, and trade with inhabitants of the Aegean Sea coast.
