But by the end of that century, Lombards coming from Northern Italy had conquered most of the peninsula, with Byzantium retaining only Calabria and Sicily. From the middle of the 9th century, the Aghlabid Dynasty of Ifrîquya (the original name of Eastern Maghreb) raided Sicily to take possession of the island. A new Byzantine offensive at the end of the century took back most of the lost territories in Apulia and Calabria and established Bari as the new provincial capital. Lombard territories further north were broken down between three cities led by princes: Capua, Salerno, and Benevento. Further east, Italian duchies of Naples, Amalfi, and Gaeta tried to keep their autonomy through successive alliances with the various regional powers to try and maintain their commercial interests. Ethnic struggles in Sicily between Arabs and Berbers on the one side, and various dynasties on the other side, led to power fragmentation: The island is divided between four rival military factions at the beginning of the 11th century. Beyond its natural boundaries, Southern Italy had to cope with two external powers which were looking to expel Byzantium from what they considered was part of their area of influence: the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire.

  • Archimedes of Syracuse
    5 MARCH 2020 Engineering: Archimedes of Syracuse Professor Edith Hall Archimedes and Hiero II’s Syracuse Archimedes was and remains the most famous person from Syracuse, Sicily, in history. He belonged to the prosperous and sophisticated culture which the dominantly Greek population had built in the east of the island. The civilisation of the whole of ancient Sicily and South Italy was called by the Romans ‘Magna Graecia’ or ‘Great Greece’. The citis of Magna Graecia began to be annexed by the Roman Republic from 327 BCE, and most of Sicily was conquered by 272. But Syracuse, a large and magnificent kingdom, the size of Athens and a major player in the politics of the Mediterranean world throughout antiquity, succeeded in staying independent until 212. This was because its kings were allies of Rome in the face of the constant threat from Carthage. Archimedes was born into this free and vibrant port city in about 287 BCE, and as far as we know lived there all his life. When he was about twelve, the formidable Hiero II came to the throne, and there followed more than half a century of peace in the city, despite momentous power struggles going on as the Romans clashed with the Carthaginians and Greeks beyond Syracuse’s borders. Hiero encouraged arts and sciences, massively expanding the famous theatre. Archimedes’ background enabled him to fulfil his huge inborn intellectual talents to the full. His father was an astronomer named Pheidias. He was probably sent to study as a young man to Alexandria, home of the famous library, where he seems to have became close friend and correspondent of the great geographer and astonomer Eratosthenes, later to become Chief Librarian.

    Chapter 12 Aristocrats, Mercenaries, Clergymen and Refugees: Deliberate and Forced Mobility of Armenians in the Early Medieval Mediterranean (6th to 11th Century a.d.) Johannes Preiser-Kapeller 1 Introduction Armenian mobility in the early Middle Ages has found some attention in the scholarly community. This is especially true for the migration of individuals and groups towards the Byzantine Empire. A considerable amount of this re- search has focused on the carriers and histories of individual aristocrats or noble families of Armenian origin. The obviously significant share of these in the Byzantine elite has even led to formulations such as Byzantium being a “Greco-Armenian Empire”.1 While, as expected, evidence for the elite stratum is relatively dense, larger scale migration of members of the lower aristocracy (“azat”, within the ranking system of Armenian nobility, see below) or non- aristocrats (“anazat”) can also be traced with regard to the overall movement of groups within the entire Byzantine sphere. In contrast to the nobility, however, the life stories and strategies of individuals of these backgrounds very rarely can be reconstructed based on our evidence. In all cases, the actual signifi- cance of an “Armenian” identity for individuals and groups identified as “Ar- menian” by contemporary sources or modern day scholarship (on the basis of 1 Charanis, “Armenians in the Byzantine Empire”, passim; Charanis, “Transfer of population”; Toumanoff, “Caucasia and Byzantium”, pp. 131–133; Ditten, Ethnische Verschiebungen, pp. 124–127, 134–135; Haldon, “Late Roman Senatorial Elite”, pp. 213–215; Whitby, “Recruitment”, pp. 87–90, 99–101, 106–110; Isaac, “Army in the Late Roman East”, pp.

The history and proso- pography of the Byzantine theme of Koloneia in the Pontos area have been so far discussed in a very few – yet important – works only, and this is not because of lack of interest, but because of the limited infor- mation provided by literary sources and the small number of seals discovered. The main objective is to publish two so far unknown lead seals issued by officials who served in the theme of Koloneia, as well as to provide the reader with up- dated prosopographical lists of the thematic offi- cials. Needless to say, the prosopographical lists pre- sented in this paper are incomplete, because there are more unpublished collections of seals – some of them hard to access – that have to be examined.

Moreover, I am indebted to Dr. Harald Schulze (Archäologische Staatssammlung München) and Dr. Vassa Kontouma (IFEB), for granting me permission to publish the seals, and, of course, to Prof. Jean-Claude Cheynet, who shared information and provided me with photos of the IFEB and BnF specimens.

The three texts together form material assembled for a treatise, which Bury entitled '17'Ept Twv {JactAtKwv TafetSlwv; he suggested that the first and second sections had been prepared for incorporation in the third. They were, however, not incorporated, but, Bury further suggested, the redactor who is responsible for the form in which the De Ceremoniis has come down had found all three pieces in physical juxtaposition.3 Here I am concerned only with the text of the first of the three pieces, the list of a'1TATJKTa (a'1TAtKTa< applicatus), 'etapes' or 'stations', at which the emperor halts on his way through Asia Minor. Since the • list provides valuable evidence for East Roman military organisation in Asia Minor, it is important that historical conclusions should not be drawn from a defective text.

  • Authority and Control in the Interior of Asia Minor, Seventh–Ninth Centuries
    chapter 4 Authority and Control in the Interior of Asia Minor, Seventh–Ninth Centuries James Howard-Johnston 1 Asia Minor and the Onset of the War for Survival: Cities, Villages and Fortresses Byzantium cannot be demarcated clearly from its greater, antecedent, imperial self. The name is a term of art, used to pick out the most Roman of the Roman successor states. Continuity being so marked in terms of constitution, institu- tions (notably those which sustained a traditional fiscal prowess), infrastruc- ture and, not least, culture and religion, the east Roman empire simply shades into a reduced but still ideologically potent early medieval state. But change was forced upon it from without, by successive defeats at the hands of Mus- lims, by successive losses of territory to the Muslim umma. At the beginning of the eighth century, the authority of east Roman emperors was confined to a well-defended but exposed capital city, enclaves in the far west (Sicily, south- ern Italy and the exarchate of Ravenna) and north-east (part of the Crimea and the western Caucasus), tracts in the western, southern and south-eastern Balkans (often under no more than nominal Roman control), the islands of the Aegean, and one substantial, defensible land-mass, Asia Minor. Asia Minor became the heartland of the rump-empire from the 640s, its most important resource-base, the great eastern bulwark of Constantinople. Explanations for the extraordinary resilience shown by Byzantium in its 200-year-long battle for survival and the success ultimately achieved have to be sought as much in the evolving structures, social, economic, administrative, of Asia Minor as in poli- cies formulated at the centre and the ideology which underpinned the will to fight on.1 1 This paper represents views developed over many years of reading and teaching.

    The Emperor Michael III and the Battle of Bishop's Meadow (A.D. 863) Huxley, George Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1975; 16, 4; ProQuest pg. 443 The Emperor Michael III and the Battle of Bishop's Meadow (A.D. 863) George Huxley HE FOUR BOOKS of Genesios deal with Byzantine history from T the accession of Leo the Armenian to the death of Basil I. In the fourth book Genesios includes an account of the defeat by Petronas, uncle of the emperor Michael III, of the redoubtable cOmar cUbaid Allah al AqtaC of Melitene.1 According to the historian, cOmar (" Af'EP, C Amr) invaded the Armeniak theme and advanced as far as the coast at Amisos where, because he could progress no further, he ordered the sea to be beaten with rods (Genesios here com­ pares the behaviour of Xerxes at the Hellespont). The emperor, being dismayed at the number of prisoners taken by cOmar, appointed Petronas to command the tagma of the Schools with orders to attack the enemy. When news of the coming attack reached cOmar, his subordinates urged him to retreat to his own territory and to fight only if the Byzantine forces overtook them; but the emir, declaring that he was no coward, decided to advance towards Petro­ nas and his army. The opposed forces drew close together in the Abisian district on the borders of the Paphlagonian and Armeniak themes, with a mountain between them, at a place called Porson (ll6pcwv). Both sides tried to occupy the mountain, and in the ensuing battle COmar was killed.
