However, any renewal results in major morphological, physiognomic, functional or social changes, which imply changes in the meanings encoded in space. These transformations are not always welcome and they may lead to public discussions and conflicts. Skopje 2014 is a project within which such controversial transformations have been taking place. The area surrounding the Vardar River and its banks plays a major role here. On the river banks monumental buildings were erected, bridges over the river were modernised and new ones, decorated with monuments, were built for pedestrians. Bridges can be considered a valuable component of any urban infrastructure as they link different parts of a settlement unit (in the case of Skopje – left (northern) bank and the right (southern) bank; Albanian and Macedonian), improve transport, facilitate trade and cultural exchange. In this context, referring to Lotman’s semiosphere theory, they may become borders of semiotic space, which acts as a filter that facilitates the penetration of codes and cultural texts. Yet, in multicultural Skopje meanings attached to bridges seem to lead to social inequalities as they glorify what is Macedonian and degrade the Albanian element.

Kolarik SEASONAL ANIMALS IN THE NARTHEX MOSAIC OF THE LARGE BASILICA, HERACLEA LYNCESTIS The extraordinary floor mosaic in the narthex of the Large Basilica at Heraclea Lyncestis, near Bitola in Macedonia is unique not only for its artistic quality, but also for its subtle imagery (Fig. 1, 2).1 The mosaic was discovered and extensively published by Gordana Tomašević who saw the mosaic as a literal depiction of the cosmos as described by the sixth-century geographer Cosmas Indiceupleustes. She divided the elements of the mosaic into zones: ocean, earth, paradise and highest heaven.2 The mosaic does indeed depict ele- ments of terrestrial creation, earth framed by ocean. The line of trees and ani- mals represents the earth, while the figures in the frame depict sea creatures.3 Its depiction of the earth is unique and specific, however, including trees,4 plants, birds and animals that reference the changing times of the year. This paper con- cerns the seasonal animals.5 The Heraclea mosaic dates to the first half of the sixth century, prob- ably to the 520s or 530s.6 Its frieze-like composition of trees and animals is quite typical of its time. A near-contemporary mosaic from Nikopolis in Epirus, for example, has fauna, mostly birds combined with a line of trees in multiple frames, one of which contains water creatures. Its inscription explains the sub- 1 I would like to thank the organizers of the 2011 Niš and Byzantium Symposium, especially Miša Rakocija for inviting me to submit this article, even though I was unable to attend the conference.

Key words: Heraclea Lyncestis, Pelagonia, Bitola, Prilep, Via Egnatia The Early Christian world on the Balkan Peninsula began to crumble already in the fourth century, with the invasions and migrations of the peoples and tribes. Vizigoths disrupted Balkan urban conditions in 378, the Huns of Atilla ravaged in 447 and Ostrogoths in 479. After the year 500 the disturbing catastrophes included an earthquake in 518, which seriously damaged the urban centers. Then came the Bubonic plague of 541-2, which was a terrible disaster of unprecedented magnitude, and other epidemics and catastrophes, which were recorded in 555, 558, 561, 573, 591 and 599.1 The invasions, epidemics and economic recession badly affected the population and society of the Eastern Roman Empire. Life in Herclea Lynkestis slowly declined. The Episcopal church was rebuilt in the early sixth century when the latest published coins of Justin II are found.
