  • Fountain-Of-Life Mosaics from Macedonia Ruth Kolarik the Fountain of Life Is the Most Common Figural Subject Among the Mosaics O
    Fountain-of-Life Mosaics from Macedonia Ruth Kolarik The fountain of life is the most common figural subject among the mosaics of Greek Macedonia, FJR of Macedonia and neighboring regions during the later fifth and first half of the sixth century. The pavements vary in quality, style and details of imagery. The sheer number of examples, however, makes it possible to compare them and assess the activity of various workshops in the region, their evolution and influences. The fountain of life compositions illustrate the words of Psalm 42, part of the baptismal liturgy, and are often appropriately located in baptisteries and associated rooms. Others occupy a variety of ecclesiastical and residential contexts. Two examples stand out in quality and complexity. The mosaic of the Ohrid Tetraconch's baptistery has varied images of the fountain of life combined with personifications of the rivers of paradise It does not have local parallels in quality or style. Another singular example is the central motif of the narthex mosaic in the Large Basilica at Heraclea Lyncestis featuring a vessel with vines set on acanthus leaves and flanked by a stag and a doe, as well as a pair of peacocks. The elaborate compositions, the quality of workmanship and the use of a great variety of materials, including glass, in these two examples suggest that they were laid by two separate workshops from cosmopolitan centers and/or were the work of wall mosaicists. A workshop centered at Stobi was responsible for the fountain of life mosaics in the Baptistery and House of Psalms there as well as an example at Edessa in northern Greece.

  • A Virtual Reconstruction of the Baptistery of the Episcopal Basilica
    A Virtual Reconstruction of the Baptistery of the Episcopal Basilica at Stobi (Republic of Macedonia) By: Jade Stella Wells A Major Research Paper submitted to the Graduate Program in Classical Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Classics Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2018 Copyright © Jade Stella Wells, 2018 ABSTRACT In the last decade of the sixth century CE, the baptistery of the Episcopal Basilica at Stobi, presently located in the Republic of Macedonia, collapsed, which destroyed the roof and the interior support structure of the baptistery. When the building was excavated in 1971, the stratigraphy was difficult to interpret; scholars originally believed that the baptistery had been undisturbed, even though there was no evidence of the roof present in the stratigraphy. To date, two very different reconstructions have been made. The first (figs. 7-8), made by William Dinsmoor in 1975, was disproved by subsequent archeological discoveries. A second reconstruction (fig. 9) was published in 2006 by James Wiseman, but failed to include any supporting evidence from comparanda. Since no adequate reconstruction attempt has been made, this paper will put forth a new reconstruction for the baptistery, supported by a photogrammetry- derived 3D model and evidence of similar baptisteries from the same period. Additional research topics which have not been addressed in the existing scholarship of the baptistery will also be discussed, including the provenance of the kantharos and the function of the structure found underneath the baptistery. Acknowledgements The completion of this project has been made possible by the support of so many individuals.

  • Three Byzantine Lead Seals from Devolgrad (Ancient Audaristos) Near Stobi
    Robert Mihaj lovski Three Byzantine Lead Seals from Devolgrad (Ancient Audaristos) near Stobi Three Byzantine lead seals were found in the grazing lands and vineyards at Devolgrad, thirteen kilometres west of Stobi, in the district of Kavadarci (Republic of Macedonia). [Fig. 101] In 2001 they became part of a private collection. 1 They are not unique nor are they important in themselves. But they do have significance in that they are among a relatively small group of seals which can be related toa particular place. Devolgrad, also known as Diabolis, was a fortress which had been occupied successively in prehistorie, Paeonian, Macedonian, Roman and Byzantine times. Located on the massive limestone rock at the entrance of the gorge of the river Raec near the village of Drenovo, it controlled the road communication between Stobi and Heraclea Lyncestis on the junction of the Via Egnatia [Fig. 102], as welt as being on an ancient route connecting the Pelagonia valley with the corridor of the Vardar-Morava-Danube river system. During Roman times it was an important strategie and military post and was perhaps a fortress-refugium for the population of Stobi and its environs, as retlected in another of its names, Stypeion. Later it played an important role in the military campaigns of Emperor Basil Il in 10142 and throughout the Komnenian and Palaiologan periods. Between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries the area became an object of incessant strife between the lords of Nicaea, Epirus and Thessalonica, including the Crusader, Bulgarian and Serbian invasions. lt is thus not surprising that the first lead seal is connected with the name of the sebastos George Palaiologos, a notable military commander and a great supporter (and brother-in-law) of the Emperor Alexios I Komnenos.

  • Stobi in Late Antiquity: Epigraphic Testimonia
    chapter 11 Stobi in Late Antiquity: Epigraphic Testimonia Slavica Babamova Stobi was situated at the confluence of the Erigon and Axios rivers and at a crossroad of major Balkan routes in antiquity: the road going from the Aegean Sea to the Danube (i.e. the axis Thessalonica–Viminacium/Sirmium, which passed through Scupi and Naissus), the road which, following the river Astibo, went to Serdica via Astibo, Tranupara and Pautalia, and the section of the via Egnatia which started near Heraclea Lyncestis and followed the Erigon river (fig. 11.1). Stobi was mentioned for the first time by Livy who described it as a vetus urbs.1 A small town in Classical and Hellenistic times, it became the most important city in the middle of the Axios valley in the Roman period. Stobi was made the capital of the third meris when the province of Mace- donia was divided into four parts in 148BC. A centre for the sale of salt, it naturally became the most significant commercial centre in the region.2 Its geostrategic location probably influenced the legal status of the city in the early Roman period, which was unique in the eastern part of the empire: among the 150 cities of Macedonia listed by Pliny,3 Stobi was the only one called an oppidum civium Romanorum. According to Fanoula Papazoglou, the title was given to the city in the time of Caesar and was held until 30BC, when Stobi was granted the status of municipium, thus becoming the second municipium in the eastern part of the empire.4 It was populated by the native Paeonians and Macedonians, who intermingled with immigrants who had settled in Stobi.

  • III. Roman Macedonia (168 BC - AD 284)
    III. Roman Macedonia (168 BC - AD 284) by Pandelis Nigdelis 1. Political and administrative developments 1.1. Macedonia as a Roman protectorate (168–148 BC) A few months after defeating Perseus, the last king of Macedonia, at Pydna (168 BC) the Romans found themselves facing the crucial question of how to govern the country. The question was not a new one. It had arisen thirty years before, after their victory over Perseus’ father, Philip V, at Cynoscephalae (197 BC), when the solution adopted was to preserve the kingdom within its old historical boundaries and to have the heir to the throne, Demetrius, educated in Rome, so that Macedonia would continue to fulfil its vital role as a rampart defending southern Greece against barbarian invasion. The latest war had shown that this solution was unrealistic, and that harsher measures were re- quired for more effective control over the land. The Romans still, however, avoided becoming directly involved in the government of the country, for they did not want to assume responsibility for its defence. They therefore, having set the amount of the an- nual taxation at 100 talents, or half its previous level (an unavoidable reduction given that they were abolishing some of the revenues enjoyed by the previous regime), and collected spoils and plunder worth a total of 6000 talents, opted for the solution of a Macedonia politically divided and economically enfeebled. The political fragmentation of Macedonia was achieved primarily by the creation of four self-governing “cantons” (regiones); these, with the exception of Paeonia (which, although inhabited by a single tribe, was divided under the new system), were defined on the basis of their historical boundaries.
