Sin embargo, su historia es muy reciente. Y, pese a todo, la creación de la parte eslava de Europa resulta muy difícil de reconstruir. En la época del Imperio romano, la Europa no sometida a los destinos impe- riales estaba dominada en su zona oriental hasta la altura del Vístula, es decir, mucho más al este de la frontera occidental del territorio posteriormente dominado por los eslavos a orillas del Elba, por los pueblos germánicos. En los Balcanes, que formaban parte del imperio, habitaban diversos pueblos y etnias que ha- blaban, junto a algunos dialectos autóctonos indoeuropeos, latín y griego. Más al norte, en los territorios de la actual Rusia euro- pea, se encontraban los pueblos bálticos, no eslavos, aunque, en algún momento de su prehistoria, parece que conformaron un conjunto lingüístico baltoeslavo antes de su separación definiti- va. En las zonas más septentrionales nos encontramos, en aque- lla época, a las poblaciones finesas, no indoeuropeas. Más allá, hacia el sureste, estaban los escitas, poblaciones nómadas de ori- gen y lengua indoiranios. Entonces, ¿de dónde surgieron los eslavos?, ¿quiénes eran?, ¿de dónde venían?, ¿cuáles fueron sus migraciones?, ¿formaban una entidad étnica, lingüística y cultural bien definida?, ¿es legíti- ~ 11 ~ Michel Kazanski mo hablar de ellos como si formaran un conjunto, una especie de bloque frente a otros pueblos latinos o germánicos?, ¿qué dife- rencias separan a estos grupos más allá de una posible unidad original?, ¿se trata de tradiciones o de costumbres específicas, de instituciones diferentes, de religiones opuestas, de lenguas leja- nas?, ¿cómo evolucionaron en relación a la Europa occidental y a la civilización oriental? Y, en fin, ¿qué aportaron en los dominios espirituales, culturales e incluso políticos? Los eslavos cubren hoy Eurasia y una parte considerable de Europa: esto quiere decir que conocerlos significa percibir más ampliamente los orí- genes de nuestra civilización y de su desarrollo. El pasado de los eslavos, sus orientaciones, sus problemas, determinan también nuestro futuro. Mapa de las lenguas eslavas en la actualidad. (Fuente: Los indoeuropeos y los orígenes de Europa, de Francisco Villar) ~ 12 ~ Los antiguos eslavos: Orígenes y migraciones Los orígenes de los eslavos Se ha escrito mucho sobre los eslavos, tanto por razones cien- tíficas como políticas y nacionalistas, retorciendo hechos y des- cubrimientos, pero, en realidad, sabemos pocas cosas sobre ellos. Salvo que estos “bárbaros” indoeuropeos llegaron del noreste, tardíamente, hacia el V o el VI siglo de nuestra era, a partir del Dniéper, cerca de Kiev. Y que conquistaron la mitad de Europa. Según una teoría que no ha sido contestada en los últi- mos cincuenta años, la cuna original de los eslavos se encontra- ría en el territorio de la actual Polonia, sur de Bielorrusia y norte de Ucrania, en una región aproximadamente situada en la con- fluencia del Dniéper y el Pripet. Los ancestros de los eslavos, cer- canos a los baltos en el plano etnolingüístico, son conocidos desde finales del primer milenio antes de nuestra era, pero los autores antiguos realmente no comienzan a mencionarlos explí- citamente más que a partir del siglo V de nuestra era. En cual- quier caso, los orígenes de los eslavos pueden datarse aproxima- damente en 3500 años antes de nuestra era, en la parte norte de la cultura eurasiática Yamna y su expansión a través del centro y el noreste de Europa por la vía de su fusión con la cultura de la Cerámica Cordada., cuyos linajes predominantes se extendieron por las actuales Polonia, Bielorrusia, Ucrania y la Rusia europea constituyendo el núcleo de la original cultura “protobaltoeslava”. Hasta hace poco, se identificaba a los primeros eslavos con la “cultura lusaciana” (al sureste de Berlín) y en particular, del sitio de Biskupin (al oeste del Vístula, en Polonia). Pero Biskupin no era eslavo, teoría hoy mayoritariamente compartida por los investigadores. La idea de un carácter protoeslavo de Biskupin se remonta a los años 30, cuando el gran profesor Jozef Kos- trzewski replicaba al arqueólogo alemán Gustav Kossinna, del que, curiosamente, era su discípulo y partidario de su método, si bien llegando a conclusiones diametralmente opuestas. Según Kossina, las tierras polacas constituían, de hecho, una herencia germánica, estaban pobladas por germanos. El descubrimiento, ~ 13 ~ Michel Kazanski en 1933, de Biskupin, una ciudad creada por la cultura lusaciana, de gran antigüedad, fue pan bendito para Kostrzewski, que así pudo formular su teoría sobre el “neoautoctonismo de los esla- vos”. Una ciudad construida en la época de la Grecia antigua, bien organizada, fomentaba la imaginación respecto a un gran pasado eslavo.

A la derecha, el complejo Praga-Penkova-Kolochina. (Fuente: In search of the Indo-Europeans, by J.P. Mallory) Según el profesor Godlowski, que no fue el primero en poner en duda las teorías de Kostrzewski, los orígenes de los eslavos no podían estar ligados a la cultura de Cherniajov (valle del Bug meridional y alto valle del Dniéster), que formaba parte de una civilización predominantemente goda, derivada de los migrantes de la cultura de Wielbark, pero de carácter multiétnico (segura- mente federaba a germanos, eslavos, sármatas y otros pueblos iranios, etc.), como insinuaban algunos eslavófilos autoctonistas, sino más al norte de esta cultura. Los primeros vestigios de esta Tcherniakhov, Chernyakhov, Cherniajov, Cernjachov… los historiadores y los arqueólogos utilizan varias denominaciones, según opten por respetar la etimología eslava original o la adaptación a sus propias lenguas. Nosotros hemos optado por utilizar la denominación de cultura de Cherniajov.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86543-2 - Economy and Society in the Age of Justinian Peter Sarris Excerpt More information Introduction In the year 565, in the imperial capital of Constantinople, the Emperor Justinian died, bringing to a close a reign that had lasted some forty-eight years. In death, as in life, Justinian left a deep impression on those around him. The Latin court poet Corippus declared that ‘the awesome death of the man showed by clear signs that he had conquered the world. He alone, amidst universal lamentations, seemed to rejoice in his pious coun- tenance.’1 The memory of Justinian was to loom large in the minds of subsequent generations of emperors, just as the physical monuments built in Constantinople during his reign were long to dominate the medieval city.2 The emperor had reformed the civil law of the empire, overhauled its administrative structures, and restored imperial rule to Africa, Italy, and part of Spain; he had engaged in long drawn-out warfare with the prestige enemy of Sasanian Persia and attempted to restore peace to the increasingly fissile imperial Church. In short, through his military exertions, Justinian had done much to restore the Roman Empire to a position of military and ideological dominance in the lands bordering the central and western Mediterranean, whilst at home he had sought to bolster the legal, admin- istrative, and religious authority of the imperial office.3 This attempted restoration of imperial fortunes had been accompanied by a concerted effort to propagandise on behalf of the emperor and his policies.

  • Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto
    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

EpigrapWc Bulletin for Greek Religion 1991 (EBGR) This fifth issue of BEGR presents the publications of 1991 along with several addenda to BEGR 1987-1990. The division of the work between New York and Heidelberg, for the first time this year, caused certain logistical prablems, which can be seen in several gaps; some publications of 1991 could not be considered for this issue and will be included in the next BEGR, together with the publications of 1992. We are optimistic that in the future we will be able to accelerate the presentation of epigraphic publications. The principles explained in Kernos, 4 (991), p. 287-288 and Kernos, 7 (994), p. 287 apply also to this issue, The abbreviations used are those of L'Année Philologique and the Supplementum Bpigraphicum Graecum. We remind our readers that the bulletin is not a general bibliography on Greek religion; works devoted exclusively to religious matters (marked here with an asterisk) are presented very briefly, even if they make extensive use of inscriptions, In exceptional cases (see n° 87) we include in our bulletin studies on the Linear B tablets.

Comparative mythology developed from it. Therefore, if there is a common Indo-European language, then there is also a common belief system, specifically in the context of a common belief matrix and, therefore, not in the context of an entire common belief system (cf.

  • Appendix Ad Historiam Serborum Et Slavorum
    ПЕТАР Б. БОГУНОВИЋ УДК 141.319.8:165.9(407.1) Нови Сад Прегледни рад Република Србија Примљен: 25.04.2019 Одобрен: 20.05.2019 Страна: 159-188 APPENDIX AD HISTORIAM SERBORUM ET SLAVORUM [A Contribution to the History of the Serbs and Slavs] Summary: This article views the attitudes of the early past of Serbs and Slavs pre- sented by the scientists of various profiles. Therefore, it represents a short glance on the past of Eurasia (from the end of the Old Age to the early Middle Ages) through the prism of thin- king of many historians, archeologists, linguists and DNA genealogists. Without questioning the accuracy of each attitude or data presented in their works (as both contemporary and early scientists have errors), this article merely points to the possibility of an alternative view to the past, or draw attention to new facts, which often destroy the foundations of the official historiography (initially when we talk about Serbian and Slavic histories). It is clear that the selection of here mentioned views is not accidental and strictly related to what we can define as a specific correlation with everything that the molecular archaeology presented us or, even better to say, proved during recent years with the molecular history formed on its foundations. Crossing the results of independent works and the conclusions of scientists from previous centuries with the results of genetic research leads us to some other conclusi- ons on many questions from the past of the Serbs and Slavs. The goal of this article is to lift the veil, or at least clarify a little bit, what is (unfortunately) still obscured in the history of Eurasia.

  • The Spread of Coins in the Hellenistic World
    The Spread of Coins in the Hellenistic World Andrew Meadows Although coinage was first ‘invented’ in the archaic Greek period, and spread to a sig- nificant part of the Mediterranean world during the classical period, it remained a mar- ginal element within the economy. At very few cities or mints were coins produced regularly, and the issues of a vast majority of mints were sporadic, small and of coins ill- suited to daily transactions.1 Moreover there existed in the nature of early coinage inher- ent impediments to international use. Thus, while coinage can be said to be a financial innovation of the archaic and classical Greek world, it did not radically change eco- nomic behaviour. Significant changes in the nature and scale of coinage occurred only in the wake of Alexander’s world conquest, during the Hellenistic period. The Hellenistic period runs, as usually defined, from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to the Battle of Actium by which Roman superiority over the Greek world was finally established on 2nd September 31 BC. The period is defined by the world conquest of Alexander the Great, and the consequences of the division of his empire upon his death. The name ‘Hellenistic’ derives from the German term for the period, coined by J.G. Droysen in the 1830s in his Geschichte des Hellenismus (First edition, Hamburg 1836–1843). For Droysen, who had previously written a seminal study of Alexander the Great, the period of Hellenismus, was characterised by the Hellenisation of the world that Alexander had conquered. This world had largely been encompassed by the Achaemenid Persian Empire, but had comprised many different cultures in Asia Minor, the Near East, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Iran and beyond.2 1 On scale, see further below, section “Spread and Scale”.

  • Scythia As Reflected by Iordanes (Jordanes): a Scene from the Sixth Century
    Tarih İncelemeleri Dergisi XXXV / 1, 2020, 297-332 DOI: 10.18513/egetid.770004 SCYTHIA AS REFLECTED BY IORDANES (JORDANES): A SCENE FROM THE SIXTH CENTURY Abdullah ÜSTÜN** Abstract This study focuses on Scythia, Iordanes’ Scythia, as depicted in his work entitled Getica. The first question of the study is how Iordanes saw Scythia. Although his records about physical geography are discussed here, the main focus will be on his descriptions of human geography/ethnography. In his human geography narratives, emphasis will be on Eastern Scythia tribes such as the Huns and the Bulgars which have been less emphasized in the previous studies. The second question of the study is where Scythia is according to Iordanes. Therefore, the way that Iordanes positions Scythia will be discussed in order to gain insight into his perception of Scythia. These processes will be included comparisons with Iordanes' other work Romana and other texts written before him and or by his contemporaries. In this way, the examination is expected to contribute to our understanding of Iordanes’ text and the geographical and the historical knowledge in the sixth century. Keywords: Iordanes (Jordanes), Getica, Scythia, Huns, Bulgars, Acatziri, Historical geography. Öz Iordanes’in Gözünden Scythia: Altıncı Yüzyıldan Bir Sahne Bu çalışma Iordanes’in Getica adlı eserinde tasvir ettiği Scythia’yı, Iordanes’in Scythia’sını konu edinmektedir. Çalışmanın ilk sorusu, Iordanes’in nazarında Scythia’nın nasıl bir yer olduğudur. Burada fiziki coğrafya hakkındaki kayıtları ele alınmakla birlikte asıl ilgi beşerî coğrafya, etnografya tasvirlerinde olacaktır. Beşerî coğrafya anlatıları içinde, araştırmalarda daha az üzerinde durulan, Hun, Bulgar gibi Doğu Scythia kabileleri daha ön planda tutulacaktır.
