Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie dźwiękowe abstraktu After the fall of the Roman Empire in 476, the role of the descendant and continuer of the Roman tradition was taken over by the Byzantine Empire with the capital city in Constantinople. The inhabitants of the Eastern Empire, called ‘Greek’ by many because of the popularity of Greek language and culture, emphasized their Roman roots and ancestry. The capital city of the Empire was a great city. During its prosperity it had 500,000 inhabitants. Three elements decided about its strength – the imperial power, the army and the administration, as well as a dynamic economy. This allowed to keep a wealthy treasury, and thanks to this, a permanent army. It was also possible to pay tributes to barbaric rulers who threatened the empire. The most important citizen of Byzantine Empire was the Emperor. He was unlike others, though. He considered himself the ruler of all the Romans, he was supposed to realize the mission of christianisation of the world given to him by the God and he was also the representative of the God on earth. Formally, he was chosen by the highest ranking officials that created the Senate, however, no one contested the rule of inheriting the power and the rule being transferred from generation to generation. The imperial rule, which ruled over all subjects and church officials, was based on an efficient administrative apparatus, which main goal was to ensure high income to the treasury and the safety and peace of the subjects. All of it was regulated by rules and acts of law. The most prominent Emperor of the early Middle Ages was Justinian I, called the Great. He ruled between 527 and 565 and left his mark on nearly all aspects of life in the Empire. He revolutionized the state apparatus, basing his rule not only on the aristocracy, but also on talented “new people” who came from lower classes. Thanks to his protection, they became fully dependant on the emperor, but also fulfilled his will unconditionally. Among them were not only great leaders like Belisarius, but also agile administrators and lawyers introducing the reforms of the Emperor. Justinian I dreamt of rebuilding the great Empire and thanks to an efficient army led by extraordinary leaders he practically managed to achieve that in the middle of the 6th century. He was also the author of the great legal reform – he organized the rules into the Justinian Code, as well as built the most important building of Constantinople – the Church of God’s Wisdom. The restoration of the Roman Empire did not last long. Numerous attacks of enemy armies – Persians from the east and Awars from the north; Bulgarians and Slavs in the Balkans, as well as the Muslims from the Arab Peninsula, ended the age of Byzantine Empire’s dominance, depriving it of its political power in the Mediterranean basin already in the 7th century. Exercise 1 Select in the text the most important reason for the fall of the Eternal City as seen by Procopius. most important causes Simultaneously with Emperor Zeno the Isaurian in Byzanne Empire, the Western Roman Empire was ruled by Emperor August, called Romulus Augustulus [...]. Very recently, the Romans invited as their allies the tribes of the Scirii, the Alans and other Goth tribes [...] The stronger the influences of the Barbarians were becoming the weaker the significance of Roman soldiers was and the Romans suffered from aacks from the invaders who were tormenng them [...]. They [...] demanded to be allowed to parcipate in the division of the farmlands in Italia. [...] Among them was one warlord called Odoacer [...]. He promised them he will fulfill their demands if they make him the ruler. Obtaining thus the rule, he did not harm the Emperor [...]. Though he granted the Barbarians with third part of the farmland [in Italia]. (J. Garbacik, K. Pieradzka, Teksty źródłowe do historii powszechnej wieków średnich, Kraków 1978, s. 17).

Dark Age Horse Archers by Rick Lippiett During the Dark Ages Central Eurasia and Central Europe underwent a series of complicated, and seemingly endless migrations, invasions, conquests, reconquests and occupations. This was in contrast to Greater Persia which enjoyed some relative stability for 400 years under the Sassanid Empire (which had fairly seamlessly replaced the Parthian Empire). The situation was otherwise in the lands occupied by modern day Ukraine, Turkey, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and the Balkans. Hun Nomad Horse Archer - Horse and Hun Rider taking a break.

  • A Case-Study of the German Archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905-1990)
    Science and Service in the National Socialist State: A Case-Study of the German Archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905-1990) by Monika Elisabeth Steinel UCL This thesis is submitted for examination for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) January 2009 DECLARATION I, Monika Elisabeth Steinel, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. January 2009 2 ABSTRACT The thesis investigates the relationship between archaeology, politics and ideology through a case-study of the prominent German archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905- 1990). It addresses the following questions: what role do archaeological scholars assume in a totalitarian state’s organisational structures, and what may motivate them to do so? To what extent and how are archaeologists and their scientific work influenced by the political and ideological context in which they perform, and do they play a role in generating and/or perpetuating ideologies? The thesis investigates the nature and extent of Jankuhn's practical involvement in National Socialist hierarchical structures, and offers a thematically structured analysis of Jankuhn's archaeological writings that juxtaposes the work produced during and after the National Socialist period. It investigates selected components of Herbert Jankuhn's research interests and methodological approaches, examines his representations of Germanic/German pre- and protohistory and explores his adapting interpretations of the early medieval site of Haithabu in northern Germany. The dissertation demonstrates that a scholar’s adaptation to political and ideological circumstances is not necessarily straightforward or absolute. As a member of the Schutzstaffel, Jankuhn actively advanced National Socialist ideological preconceptions and military aims.

  • Volkerwanderung.Pdf
    Vo The Migration Period, also called the Barbarian Invasions or German: Völkerwanderung (wandering of the peoples), was a period of human migration that occurred roughly between 300 to 700AD in Europe, marking the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. These movements were catalysed by profound changes within both the Roman Empire and the so-called lkerwanderung 'barbarian frontier'. Migrating peoples during this period included the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Bulgars, Alans, Suevi, Frisians and Franks, among other Germanic and Slavic tribes. The migration movement may be divided into two phases: The first phase, between 300 and 500AD, put Germanic peoples in control of most areas of the former Western Roman Empire. The first to formally enter Roman territory — as refugees from the Huns — were the Visigoths in 376. Tolerated by the Romans on condition that they defend the Danube frontier, they rebelled, eventually invading Italy and sacking Rome itself in 410AD, before settling in Iberia and founding a kingdom there that endured 300 years. They were followed into Roman territory by the Ostrogoths led by Theodoric the Great, who settled in Italy itself. In Gaul, the Franks, a fusion of western Germanic tribes whose leaders had been strongly aligned with Rome, entered Roman lands more gradually and peacefully during the 5th century, and were generally accepted as rulers by the Romano-Gallic population. Fending off challenges from the Allamanni, Burgundians and Visigoths, the Frankish kingdom became the nucleus of the future states of France and Germany. Meanwhile, Roman Britain was more slowly invaded and settled by Angles and Saxons.

  • The Myth - the Nordic Origins
    SHEETS The myth - The Nordic origins Original Germanic tribes The so-called “Nordic circle” (Nordischer Kreis) is indicated as the original homeland of the Germanic tribes (second millennium BC). A vast area which - considering present-day names - comprises southern Sweden and Norway, the Jutland peninsula, the Danish islands and the plains of northern Germany. The Germanic peoples of the early days were not one People, nor were the various tribes aware of a common ethnic root. Likewise, today there is no certainty as to the probable existence of an original bloodline which, in any case, belonged to the great Indo-European family. The Germanic peoples are distinguished according to three large groups: North Germanic (Varangians or Norwegian, Danish and Swedish Vikings), East Germanic and West Germanic, to each of which belonged a great number of sub-groups and tribes. The North Germanic group also includes Norwegian, Danish and Swedish Varangians (also known as Vikings). Classified in the East Germanic group were the tribes of the Goths (a group that included Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Gepids, Thervingi, Greuthungi, Crimean Goths), the Rugii, theVandals, the Herules, the Burgundians, theBastarnae, the Scirii and the Thuringians. Classified in the West Germanic group (which in turn was divided into the large groups of the Ingaevones, Irminones and Istvaeones) were the Salians, the Franks - to whom a great part of Longobard history is connected - the Chatti, the Batavi, the Ubii, the Treveri and also the Suebi (or Suevi), the Saxons, the Quadi, the Marcomanni and the Alemanni. As regards the Longobards, the few ancient sources mention them sometimes as belonging to the Eastern Germanic and sometimes to the Western Germanic tribes (Irminones) group).

  • Dark Age Isles Summary
    Dark Age Isles Summary By Matt Schwoebel Dark Age Isles: Rome, Arthur, and the New West (337-686 A.D.) is a heuristic, generational, geographic history of the Dark Age period in the Isles – Britain (England, Scotland, & Wales), Ireland, and Brittany (Armorica) including adjacent areas of Gaul/Francia. Contents: I. Introduction to Dark Age Isles Myth and Reality Page 2 II. Seven Cultural-Historical Phases Page 4 III. Generation Timeline Page 7 1 © Matt Schwoebel I. Introduction to Dark Age Isles Myth and Reality The period and place covered by this book represent one of the least enlightened by surviving written records from the Dark Ages. Between 337 A.D. and 686 A.D, the reasonably integrated Roman province of Britannia became an early form of England (or Angleland) divided into multiple kingdoms. The imperial language of Latin (in its vulgar form) was no longer spoken. Unusually in former western imperial lands a native language, Brythonic Celtic (Welsh), AND a conqueror language, Anglo-Saxon (English), arose to replace Latin. This linguistic situation is unique with Basque (Euskara) being the only other pre-Roman native survivor. Elsewhere a Latin dialect prevailed or a Germanic or Slavic conqueror language replaced it. There are eight myths listed below that will be addressed by this book. It will describe seven main cultural-historical phases between the death of Emperor Constantine the Great in 337 A.D. and the death of the last Pagan Saes king in 686 A.D. (along with the great Pict victory the year before). The main portion of the book will describe the changing situation in Britannia (England & Wales), Hibernia (Ireland), Caledonia (Pictland/Scotland), and an extended Armorica (Brittany) generation by generation.

    AUI, secţiunea III e, Lingvistică, tomul LI, 2005 Studia linguistica et philologica in honorem Constantin Frâncu Nume de populaţii şi de triburi germanice în antichitate într- un viitor lexicon românesc de etnonime de CONSTANTIN DOMINTE Acest volum omagial consacrat profesorului Constantin Frâncu îmi oferă agreabila ocazie de a prezenta porţiuni dintr-un Lexicon românesc de etnonime, în pregătire de cîteva decenii şi, de cîţiva ani, în colaborare. 1. Este vorba, aici şi acum, numai de articolele lexicografice referitoare la etnonimele germanice antice, intrate în lexicul românesc, ca neologisme, îndeosebi prin filieră latină savantă sau greacă veche, dar în mod precar înregistrate în dicţionarele româneşti, inclusiv în cele mai noi, de circulaţie mai largă. Cunoaşterea lor este utilă, în primul rînd, istoricilor şi etnologilor, dar şi lingviştilor, în special lingviştilor germanişti, chiar dacă sursele antice, din traducerile româneşti ale cărora au fost extrase lexemele inventariate şi definite mai jos, oferă foarte puţine date de ordin lingvistic propriu-zis. Aflăm din surse antice, de exemplu, că unele etnii vechi germanice se asemănau între ele după idiomul (dialect sau grai?) pe care îl vorbeau; a se vedea Tacitus, Despre originea şi ţara germanilor, XLIII, 1-2, relativ la marsigni şi buri în raport cu suebii, sau XLVI, 1-2, despre peucini, neam bastarnic, în raport cu ceilalţi germanici. Mai rar, aceleaşi surse menţionează şi cîte o vocabulă germanică antică, izolată şi, cîteodată, glosată, fie şi indirect, prin descrierea concisă a referentului, ca: bardit „intonare specială a unui cîntec de război”, framee „(un fel de) suliţă” (Idem, op. cit., III, 1, respectiv, VI, 1).
