Strengthening Proposals for the Trigonio Tower at the City Walls of Thessaloniki

The tower is a cylindrical masonry building and has been considered as part of the cultural heritage of humanity by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. Today it presents some major damage to its load bearing system, including intense cracking, moisture damage and disintegration of mortar, bricks and stones. An extensive research study for the evaluation of the tower’s bearing capacity, as well as for the suggestion of efficient strengthening interventions was held, in order to effectively prolong its expected lifetime. To this purpose, refined analytical models of 3D finite elements have been formed and used for the estimation of the elastic and inelastic tower’s response to gravity and seismic loads. Results’ evaluation of several static and dynamic analyses showed that the tower’s stability is not at risk under the action of gravity loads in general, but it’s bearing capacity under strong seismic excitations is questionable, thus becoming obvious the necessity of strengthening interventions . -
Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences
Athens Journal of History January 2016 Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences By Antonella Manzo The main aim of this work is to critically examine Santa Fosca building period through the analysis of the similarities as well as the differences with some churches located in Greece and belonging to the so-called octagonal domed type. In fact, since the second half of the Nineteenth century a historiographical tradition has compared Santa Fosca with these Greek Middle-Byzantine churches, where eight supports, piers or columns, arranged in a regular or irregular octagon, receive the loads from the cupola. The comparison is based on the direct analysis of these buildings: the structural configuration, the constructive materials and techniques as well as the affinities in decoration, occurring both inside and outside, are under investigation. This contribution offers a new perspective, from which it could be possible to study the period of erection of the Venetian church, a topic that is still object of debate among the scientific community. Introduction Torcello is an island belonging to the Northern Venetian Laguna, which lives its golden age during the X-XI century AD: in his Administrando Imperio of 927 Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus defines Torcello as emporion mega, to testify the great importance of its intense trades with the Orient. The church of Santa Fosca is located on the island at the Southern side of the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, whose origins date back to the inscription of 639 AD, discovered during the excavations of 1895. -
A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History
Introduction This compilation was begun merely to be a synthesized, occasional source for other writings, primarily for familiarization with European world development. Gradually, however, it was forced to come to grips with the elephantine amount of historical detail in certain classical sources. Recording the numbers of reported war deaths in previous history (many thousands, here and there!) initially was done with little contemplation but eventually, with the near‐exponential number of Humankind battles (not just major ones; inter‐tribal, dynastic, and inter‐regional), mind was caused to pause and ask itself, “Why?” Awed by the numbers killed in battles over recorded time, one falls subject to believing the very occupation in war was a naturally occurring ancient inclination, no longer possessed by ‘enlightened’ Humankind. In our synthesized histories, however, details are confined to generals, geography, battle strategies and formations, victories and defeats, with precious little revealed of the highly complicated and combined subjective forces that generate and fuel war. Two territories of human existence are involved: material and psychological. Material includes land, resources, and freedom to maintain a life to which one feels entitled. It fuels war by emotions arising from either deprivation or conditioned expectations. Psychological embraces Egalitarian and Egoistical arenas. Egalitarian is fueled by emotions arising from either a need to improve conditions or defend what it has. To that category also belongs the individual for whom revenge becomes an end in itself. Egoistical is fueled by emotions arising from material possessiveness and self‐aggrandizations. To that category also belongs the individual for whom worldly power is an end in itself. -

Further Observations on the Chronology of the Walls of Thessaloniki
FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE WALLS OF THESSALONIKI In a recent article1, G. Gounaris has challenged the present writer’s re dating (to the mid-fifth century) of the city walls2 , and the second phase of the Rotunda at Thessaloniki 3 . He rightly corrects some elementary mistakes, but fails to give any convincing arguments for the retention of a late fourth century date for these monuments. The crucial factor is the date to be given to the inscription 4 on a tower in the eastern wall which refers to a certain Hormisdas having fortified the city. Gounaris follows Tafrali’s hypothesis 5 that the Hormisdas in question was the commander of Theodosius I’s Egyptian troops who is known to have been in Thessaloniki in 3806, and that since this Hormisdas had been Proconsul Asiae under Procopius 7, that he held a similar office under Theodosius. The argu ments that were adduced against this view in 1969 still hold true; they bear repetition : The appointment by Procopius is presented by Marcellinus as exceptional «...potestatemproconsulis detulit, et civilia moreveterum et bella recturo». The point is that the terms of the appointment were deliberately archaic, «more veterum», in that they combined civilian and military functions. This was no longer true by the fourth century; proconsuls had exclusively civilian functions. Moreover, the proconsulship of Hormisdas is not defined by province, another archaic, republican touch. Thus to say that he held this post under Theodo sius I is incorrect, apart from the fact that Procopius was a usurper. Secondly, whatever Hormisdas ’ position might have been in 380, he could not have been proconsul, since Zosimus distinctly says that he was there in a military capa 1. -

Aspects of St Anna's Cult in Byzantium
ASPECTS OF ST ANNA’S CULT IN BYZANTIUM by EIRINI PANOU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 Acknowledgments It is said that a PhD is a lonely work. However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years. -
Fortification Renaissance: the Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne
FORTIFICATION RENAISSANCE: THE ROMAN ORIGINS OF THE TRACE ITALIENNE Robert T. Vigus Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Committee Co-Chair Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Co-Chair Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Vigus, Robert T. Fortification Renaissance: The Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne. Master of Arts (History), May 2013, pp.71, 35 illustrations, bibliography, 67 titles. The Military Revolution thesis posited by Michael Roberts and expanded upon by Geoffrey Parker places the trace italienne style of fortification of the early modern period as something that is a novel creation, borne out of the minds of Renaissance geniuses. Research shows, however, that the key component of the trace italienne, the angled bastion, has its roots in Greek and Roman writing, and in extant constructions by Roman and Byzantine engineers. The angled bastion of the trace italienne was yet another aspect of the resurgent Greek and Roman culture characteristic of the Renaissance along with the traditions of medicine, mathematics, and science. The writings of the ancients were bolstered by physical examples located in important trading and pilgrimage routes. Furthermore, the geometric layout of the trace italienne stems from Ottoman fortifications that preceded it by at least two hundred years. The Renaissance geniuses combined ancient bastion designs with eastern geometry to match a burgeoning threat in the rising power of the siege cannon. Copyright 2013 by Robert T. Vigus ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and encouragement of many people. -

The name Constantinople was given to the new capital after the death of Constantine. Constantinople grew in power, cultural, and diplo- matic influence while old Rome was repeatedly plundered by barbarians. By the end of the 5 th century the Western Roman Empire was out of busi- ness. So it was that the citizens in the East saw themselves as simply the continuation of the Roman Empire. We call that remnant of the old em- pire in the east, Byzantium, in recognition of the changed political situa- tion centered on Constantinople between 476 and 1453.
