The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC. -

Significance of Detection of Ancent City of Phasis with Earth Sciences and Archaeology
HCG30-P01 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2020 Significance of detection of ancent city of Phasis with Earth Sciences and Archaeology *Satoru Oishi1, Vakhtang Licheli2 1. Research Center for Urban Safety and Security Kobe University, 2. Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University The ancient city of Phasis was one of the colonies of Ionian Greeks, who made more than 90 colonies in the Caucasus region during the period between 6th and 4th centuries BC. Phasis is assumed to be located somewhere around Poti, which is a Georgian town on the East coast of the Black Sea. However, the exact location of Phasis is still unknown, even BRUN(1880) had discussed, and GAMKRELIDZE(2012) listed twelve candidates of Phasis. By recognizing the location of Phasis and digging the remaining materials, we could understand cultures and communications of the 6th to 4th century BC leading the expansion of our understanding of cultural propagation. Lichelli (2016) proposed the possible location of Phasis by taking peat, earthquake and ancient scripts into consideration. He pointed out that the possible location as follows, Supsa river as a southern end, Black sea coast which should be deferent from the current one as a western end, and a meridian line passing Sagvichio town in Georgia as an eastern end. Moreover, he suggested that Phais is located inside a triangle with edges consisting of three intersectional points between Supsa river and Black sea coast, Rioni river and Black sea coast, the meridian line passing Sagvichio and Pichori river. The area of the triangle is 150 square km. According to the ancient scripts, Phasis was a city on wet-land, based on artificial hills. -
Glaciers Change Over the Last Century, Caucasus Mountains, Georgia

Tielidze 6 7 Department of Geomorphology, Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography, Ivane 8 Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, 6 Tamarashvili st. Tbilisi 0177, Georgia 9 10 Correspondence to: L. G. Tielidze ([email protected]) 11 12 13 Abstract 14 15 The study of glaciers in the Caucasus began in the first quarter of the 18th century. The 16 first data on glaciers can be found in the works of great Georgian scientist Vakhushti 17 Bagrationi. After almost hundred years the foreign scientists began to describe the 18 glaciers of Georgia. Information about the glaciers of Georgia can be found in the 19 works of W. Abich, D. Freshfield, G. Radde, N. Dinik, I. Rashevskiy, A. Reinhardt etc. The 20 first statistical information about the glaciers of Georgia are found in the catalog of the 21 Caucasus glaciers compiled by K. Podozerskiy in 1911. Then, in 1960s the large-scale 22 (1 : 25 000, 1 : 50 000) topographic maps were published, which were compiled in 23 1955–1960 on the basis of the airphotos. On the basis of the mentioned maps R. 24 Gobejishvili gave quite detailed statistical information about the glaciers of Georgia. Then 25 in 1975 the results of glaciers inventory of the former USSR was published, where the 26 statistical information about the glaciers of Georgia was obtained on the basis of the 27 almost same time (1955-1957) aerial images. -

Social Cleavages and National “Awakening” in Ottoman Macedonia 1 by Basil C
East European Quarterly 29 (1995), 409-426 Social cleavages and national “awakening” in Ottoman Macedonia 1 by Basil C. Gounaris In early summer 1992 a lavish monograph was published in Skopje entitled Macedonia on old Maps.2 In the first chapter of the book, which is called “A History without a Geography”, Ilija Petrushevski states that: “These maps present the undeniable historical and scientific facts about the distinctness of the Ìacedonian nation, which differs from its neighbours not only by its territory, which has always belonged to it, but also by its language, folklore, traditions and all the other elements of significance in ethnic differentiation”.3 Petrushevski’s attempt to support the existence of a nation by stressing its connection with an age-old ethnic core is not a new task in Balkan historiography, nor is it the first time that the testimony of old maps is being employed to serve such a cause.4 It has been stated that the advent of the European Enlightenment in the Ottoman Balkans involved a rather slow procedure. Describing, however, pre-independence nationalist feelings of the Balkan peoples, especially the situation in the hinterland of the peninsula (Macedonia included), is a demanding exercise, which far exceeds the purpose of this paper.5 In brief, modern Greek nationalism emerged in the 18th century and was affected by western ideas, but its actual roots lay in protonationalist phenomena noticed in the 13th century Byzantium.6 Under Ottoman rule these feelings were only partly preserved through the institutions of the millet system. The folk of the Ecumenical Patriarchate was the Rum-i-millet, with a population which, in addition to the Greek-speakers, included large numbers of Slav- Vlach and other non Greek- speaking Orthodox subjects of the Sultan. -

Changes in the area and number of glaciers and global climate where other long-term records may not in the Georgian Caucasus Mountains were examined exist, as changes in glacier mass and/or extent can reflect over the last century, by comparing recent Landsat and changes in temperature and/or precipitation (e.g. Oerlemans ASTER images (2014) with older topographical maps (1911, and Fortuin, 1992; Meier et al., 2007). Regular and detailed 1960) along with middle and high mountain meteoro- observations of alpine glacier behaviour are necessary in re- logical stations data. Total glacier area decreased by gions such as the Georgian Caucasus, where the glaciers 8.1 ± 1.8 % (0.2 ± 0.04 % yr−1) or by 49.9 ± 10.6 km2 from are an important source of water for agricultural produc- 613.6 ± 9.8 km2 to 563.7 ± 11.3 km2 during 1911–1960, tion, and runoff in large glacially fed rivers (Kodori, Enguri, while the number of glaciers increased from 515 to 786. -
