It consists of various greenschist-facies rocks (actinolite schists, phyllites, calcareous schists, impure marbles, metasandstones, metadiabases, massive green rocks, etc.) of the Frolosh metamorphic complex with bodies of metabasites (including lherzolites), and inliers (retrogressed mica gneisses and migmatites) from the Ograzhdenian supercomplex. The complex is in- truded by bodies of gabbro (occasionally with ultramafic cumulates), diorites to granites (Struma diorite formation). U-Pb studies on zircons yielded Cadomian ages within the time span between c. 574 and 517 Ma. The Frolosh complex covers the ultrametamorphic (migmatized gneisses and amphibolites; tourma- line-biotite schists; quartzo-feldspathic gneisses; lensoid bodies of metaperidotites to norites) of the Ograzhdenian supercomplex. The Ograzhdenian rocks are intersected by diatectic metagranites over- printed by amphibolite-facies metamorphism. Dominant U-Pb ages vary between 470 and 430 Ma. The contact between the Frolosh complex and the Ograzhdenian supercomplex has been subject of long dis- cussion and controversial interpretations. Now we emphasize on the multistage developments of both complexes as demonstrated both by field evidence and isotopic dating. The Ograzhdenian supercomplex has been subject of Precambrian tectonometamorphism witnessed by Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron data and relict U-Pb zircon data. Ordovician to Silurian anatectites (metatectic migmatization, diatexis) are in- truded by Permo-Triassic granites. The contact between the Ograzhdenian supercomplex and the covering Frolosh complex is regarded as a thick complex zone of multistage tectonometamorphic development rather than a “razor-blade” surface of one-stage origin. As a boundary between suprastructure and infra- structure, it played an important role throughout the Phanerozoic, and acted as a screen with a steep ther- mal gradient during the Ordovician-Silurian anatexis and metamorphism in the Ograzhdenian supercom- plex. For to verify this hypothesis, new detailed structural and isotopic studies are needed.

Harpacticoïdes (Crustacea, Copepoda) de la mer Égée (plages de Kavala, Grèce du nord). – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 19: -33. Abstract. The results of the investigations on the copepod fauna from subterranean littoral waters and algae of the Kavala beaches (Aegean Sea, Northern Greece) are reported. Eight copepod harpacticoid species have been identified and brief systematical, ecological and biogeographical notes are given. These first results are of great interest to the biogeography of mesopsammal harpacticoids in the Aegean Sea. Key words: Copepoda, Harpacticoida, subterranean littoral, Kavala, Greece. Introduction En automne 2004, j’ai eu l’occasion de séjourner dans la ville de Kavala (Grèce du Nord). Pendant ce séjour, j’ai effectué un nombre de prélèvement de la faune interstitielle littorale et des algues côtières, sur les plages de la ville de Kavala, de la mer Égée. Nos connaissances actuelles, en ce qui concerne la faune harpacticoïdienne de cette région, sont incomplètes. Aucune prospection taxonomique et écologique de la faune mésopsammique n’a encore été entreprise dans cette région de la Grèce. Dix échantillons ont été réalisés en dix stations localisées sur la plage principale de la ville de Kavala. Leur examen a révélé l’existence de huit espèces appartenant à huit familles et huit genres, et dont la présence n’avait pas encore été reconnue dans la faune de la mer Égée et de la Grèce. Parmi ces espèces, une est nouvelle pour la science – Pseudonychocamptus kolarovi n.

  • A New Look at an Inscribed Ceramic Medallion with Gladiators (Equites) from the Region of Parthicopolis in the Roman Province of Macedonia*
    EMIL NANKOV A New Look at an Inscribed Ceramic Medallion with Gladiators (Equites) from the Region of Parthicopolis in the Roman Province of Macedonia* Introduction The ceramic medallion in question (fig. 1a-c) was briefly announced by L. Vagalinski in 2005 and eventually incorporated in his book on sport and public entertainment in Hellenistic and Roman Thrace.1 Following L. Robert’s observations on a gladiatorial marble relief from Ephesus published in 1950,2 the gladiators on the Palat medallion were labeled generically as “gladiatores tunicati”3 without drawing on subsequent scholarship, which, by 1967, had already replaced the aforementioned terminus technicus with that of equites or ἱππεῖς known from literary sources and epigraphic data.4 The ideas offered for the medallion’s function ranged from it being a souvenir to being an item used for domestic decoration. Commenting on its significance and without linking it to a particular munus, Vagalinski concluded that the medallion was indicative of the popularity of gladiatorial entertainment in the region during the second and third centuries AD.5 A more thorough study based on autop- sy was undertaken by the author in 2015.6 The present publication presents * I am indebted to Denver Graninger and the anonymous reviewers for the suggest- ed bibliography and the useful comments on the earlier drafts of this article. 1.

    “JOINT INTEGRATED POLICY FOR LOW-CARBON ECONOMY IN CROSS-BORDER REGION” Ref. No.CB006.1.11.165 ABSTRACT A low-carbon economy (LCE), low-fossil-fuel economy (LFFE), or decarbonized economy is an economy based on low carbon power sources that therefore has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. No-one knows what the future holds. But based on our knowledge today, in 2017, we can make some reasonable estimates about the difference we can make if we implement the big changes set out in our policy for a low carbon economy.
