STOROČIA Martin Husár Byzantská ríša zažila v uvedenom období viacero pádov i opätovných vzchope- ní sa. Na pertraktovanom období sa dajú ukázať viaceré premeny jej vojenstva, ktoré pramenili zo snahy prispôsobiť sa zmenenej situácii v jej bezprostrednom susedstve alebo vo vzdialenejších regiónoch. Karpatská kotlina bola zase buď v priamom susedstve Byzancie, alebo prinajmenšom v dosahu jej kultúrneho či politického pôsobenia. Preto by mohlo byť zaujímavé pozrieť sa na obe ob- lasti z vojenského hľadiska. Uvedená štúdia je vlastne pokračovaním autorov- ho príspevku publikovaného v Konštantínových listoch 2/2009 (Husár, 2009, s. 1 – 18), sledujúc rovnaké objekty ako v predkladanej štúdii, no v inom časovom horizonte, konkrétne v období 4. až 1. polovice 7. stor. Tak ako v predchádza- júcom príspevku aj v tomto sa zameriame v rámci vojenstva hlavne na oblasť stratégie, organizácie, taktiky či výzbroje a výstroja regulárnych jednotiek.1 1. Záchrana byzantského impéria (2. polovica 7. storočia – 1. polovica 10. storočia) Po vyše štvrťstoročie trvajúcej vojne s Perzskou ríšou Sassánovcov (r. 602 – 628), ktorá by v konečnej fáze za vlády cisára Herakleia (r. 610 – 641) mohla získať z byzantskej strany označenie totálna vojna, získala víťazná Byzantská ríša z perz- ských rúk opäť svoje územia na Blízkom východe (Hurbanič, 2009, s. 254 – 258; 2010, s. 45). Systém siedmich mobilných poľných armád (comitatenses)2 pred uvedenou vojnou bol v podstate obnovený vo svojej predchádzajúcej forme s tým rozdielom, že dve prezentálne3 cisárske armády sídliace predtým v Trácii a na severozápade Malej Ázie sa zlúčili do jedného celku a armáda pre Illyricum sa 1 Sféra vojenskej architektúry, artilérie či vojnového námorníctva tu preto nebude detailne rozoberaná. Uvedené oblasti si zasluhujú samostatnú štúdiu. 2 Mobilná armáda Trácie, Arménie, Illyrica, Afriky, Itálie a nakoniec dve cisárske prezentálne armády, na čele ktorých stál veliteľ s hodnosťou magister militum (Haldon, 1999, mapa V). 3 „Z latinského slova praesentium, čo znamená prítomné (pre cisára).“ 1 Konštantínove listy 4/2011 po obsadení Balkánu Slovanmi stráca úplne. Obnovili sa i niektoré oporné body a pevnosti hraničiarov (limitanei) či spolupráca s kmeňovou konfederáciou kres- ťanských Ghasánovcov (Haldon, 1999, s. 71). Následná expanzia moslimských Arabov z arabského polostrova však vypudila Byzanciu opäť z jej znovunadobud- nutých východných území. Medzi r. 634 – 645 padla do ich rúk Sýria, byzantská časť Mezopotámie i Egypt (Dupuy, R. E. – Dupuy, T. N., 1980, s. 230; Hurbanič, 2010, s. 48, 49; Treadgold, 1995, s. 21). Ríšske hranice sa na východe síce dočasne stabilizovali na pohorí Taurus a Antitaurus (Haldon, 1999, s. 71), no už na konci 7. a začiatku 8. stor. ummájovskí kalifovia dobyli Kilíkiu a okolie Malatye. Obrana sa preto na juhovýchodnom fronte musela posunúť až na kappadócke pevnosti (Nicolle – McBride, 1992, s. 15). Z dôvodu straty východných provincií, Egypta i väčšiny Balkánu, ktorý až na pár brániteľných enkláv na juhu ostal aj naďalej doménou Slovanov a pre ríšu už nemohol predstavovať hospodárske zázemie či nárazníkovú zónu, bol celkový príjem štátu na konci 6. a v 1. polovice 7. stor. zredukovaný oproti 6. stor. na úroveň jednej štvrtiny (Haldon, 1999, s. 47, 51). Kľúčovým územím pre ďalšie fungovanie ríše sa tak stala Malá Ázia.4 Je pravdepodobné, že najskôr za prímeria s arabským guvernérom Sýrie v r. 659 – 662 boli vymedzené na území Malej Ázie i nové obranné a adminis- tratívno-vojenské územné jednotky themata na čele so stratégom (Dupuy, R. E. – Dupuy, T. N., 1980, s. 223; Hurbanič, 2010, s. 60; Treadgold, 1995, s. 21 – 23). Vznikli pridelením určitého hospodárskeho zázemia poľným armádam z pred- chádzajúceho obdobia. Udialo sa to preto, že po polovici 7. stor. si ich ríša nemoh- la ďalej dovoliť vydržiavať priamo zo štátneho rozpočtu. Na novovzniknuté prvé themata preniesli potom aj svoje grécke mená. Thema Armeniakon vo východnej Anatólii bola pomenovaná podľa arménskej armády, thema Anatolikon (v zmys- le východný) v centrálnej Anatólii podľa východnej armády, thema Thrakesion v západnej Anatólii podľa tráckej armády a nakoniec thema Opsikion v severo- zápandnej Anatólii podľa prezentálnej armády cisára, známej aj ako Obsequium (latinsky služba, družina). Táto thema bola nadriadená ostatným a na jej čele bol gróf. Oddiely námorníkov zase chránili juh Malej Ázie, egejské ostrovy a zvyšky Grécka v theme Karabisianoi (z gréckeho slova loď) (Treadgold, 1995, s. 23). Po konsolidácii pomerov prebrali vojenský záväzok nastúpiť do armády väčši- nou rodiny vlastniace dedične hospodárstva.5 Po otcoch dedične záväzky preberali 4 Ak k tomu nepočítame vzdialený Kartáginský exarchát, ktorý však padol do rúk Arabom v r. 697 pri ich ďalšej expanzii na západ Afriky, a skôr problémy prinášajúce zvyškové územia v Itálii (väčšia časť sa stratila s pádom Ravennského exarchátu r. 751), pobrežné enklávy na dalmátskom pobreží Jadranského mora či ostrovy v Stredozemnom mori (hlavne Baleáry, Sardínia, Korzika, Sicília, Kréta a Cyprus). 5 Vojaci themát boli evidovaní v zoznamoch alebo registroch spolu s ich konkrétnymi vojenskými povinnosťami (grécky strateia). 2 Vojenstvo Byzancie a politických útvarov na území Karpatskej kotliny... preto najstarší synovia, de facto držba majetku sa spájala s pôdou (Dawson, 2009, s. 17). Majitelia hospodárstiev slúžili väčšinou ako jazdci. Samozrejme, najväčší pozemkoví vlastníci sa stávali podľa diela Taktika cisára Leva VI. Múdreho (r. 886 – 912) prvotriednymi jazdcami s najkvalitnejšou výzbrojou (Heath – McBride, 1979, s. 18). Mladší synovia, ktorí nededili celé hospodárstvo, boli neskôr zase presúvaní do hraničných okrskov kleisourai (grécky horský priesmyk). Boli men- šie než themata a situované boli na hraniciach s arabským svetom.6 Začal ich ako prvý zakladať cisár Theofilos (r. 829 – 849). V nich umiestnené posádky boli udržiavané vo zvlášť vysokom stave pripravenosti (Dupuy, R. E. – Dupuy, T. N., 1980, s. 215; Heath – McBride,

  • The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D
    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

At the beginning of the 11th century Byzantium was at the height of its glory. After the victorious conquests of the Emperor Basil II (976-1025), the East-Roman1 Empire regained the sovereignty of the Eastern Mediterranean World and extended from the Armenian Mountains to the Italian Peninsula. Calabria, Puglia and Basilicata formed the South-Italian Provinces, called Themata of Kalavria and Laghouvardhia under the control of an High Imperial Officer, the Katepano. 2But the Empire sought at one time to recover Sicily, held by Arab Egyptian Fatimids, who controlled the island by means of the cadet Dynasty of Kalbits.3 The Prôtospatharios4 Georgios Maniakes was appointed in 1038 by the

  • Canabtan Law Zimee
    Ube Canabtan law zimee. VOL. XXX1II. OCTOBER, 1913. No. 10. THE INDEBTEDNESS OF MODERN JURISPRUD- ENCE TO MEDIEVAL ITALIAN LAW. How much the world owes to Italian genius and labours! For Italy is " the mother of us all." The lamp of civilization has been handed on from ]ome to modern nations by Italian runners. By Italy learning was re-established and the fine arts revived; Italy is truly called " the mother of universities and the saviour of learning." European commerce was ori- ginally revived by Italy, after the flood oT barbarian invasions of Europe had spent itself. By Italians Honan law was re- covered from antiquity, adapted for use iin later times, and forever implanted as a living force in our modern civilization. These grand achievemnents were accomplished by a people labouring under perhaps the worst political handicap known to history. For over thirteen centuries prior to 1.871 Italy never enjoyed any of the blessings of. a political union, and o was either a prey to foreign invaders or torn asunder b*y fratricidal wars. During these imany centuries Italy was but " a geographical expression "-to use Metteruich's illuminating description. Modern united Italy is very youthful Italy is not yet fifty years old.' The exuberancc of Italian patriotism in the recent war with Turkey bears witness to this youthful- ness of modern Italy, which so ardently rejoiced ill its oppor- tunity to display national power. The beginnings of Italian law-using the terni " Italian in its modern sense-start with the emergence of Italy as a separate country out of the fifth century ruins of the ]loman Empire of the West, finally extinguished in 476.

The Family The Tarchaneiotes family, whose name probably derives from their birthplace, the settlement of Tarchaneion near Kypsela, Thrace,1 emerged in the historical scene during the reign of Basil II (963/976-1025). They held senior offices in the administration and at times served as military commanders, thus playing an active role in the political and military matters of the Byzantine state. They were active mainly in the western part of the Empire, especially Macedonia and Italy. 2. Famous Members in the Battlefield (10th-11th c.) In 999 Gregory Tarchaneiotes, in his capacity as the katepano of Italy, turned the Saracens successfully out of the country, while shortly later Basil Tarchaneiotes was awarded the title of magister militum of the West. Other members of the family activated in the East, such as Joseph Tarchaneiotes, who in 1071 accompanied Romanos IV (Diogenes) (1068-1071) in his campaign against the Seljuks in Armenia and later became doukas of Antioch.

Stuart add en^ Preparation of the Code of Justinian, one part of a three-part presentation of Roman law published over the three-year period from 533 -535 A.D, had not been stymied by the occupation of Rome by the Rugians and the Ostrogoths. In most ways these occupations worked no material hardship on the empire, either militarily or civilly. The occupying Goths and their Roman counterparts developed symbiotic legal and social relationships, and in several instances, the new Germanic rulers sought and received approval of their rule both from the Western Empire, seated in Constantinople, and the Pope. Rugian Odoacer and Ostrogoth Theodoric each, in fact, claimed respect for Roman law, and the latter ruler held the Roman title patricius et magister rnilitum. In sum, the Rugians and the Ostrogoths were content to absorb much of Roman law, and to work only such modifications as were propitious in the light of centuries of Gothic customary law.

  • Justinian's Redaction
    JUSTINIAN'S REDACTION. "Forhim there are no dry husks of doctrine; each is the vital develop- ment of a living germ. There is no single bud or fruit of it but has an ancestry of thousands of years; no topmost twig that does not greet with the sap drawn from -he dark burrows underground; no fibre torn away from it but has been twisted and strained by historic wheels. For him, the Roman law, that masterpiece of national growth, is no sealed book ..... ... but is a reservoir of doctrine, drawn from the watershed of a world's civilization!'* For to-day's student of law, what worth has the half- dozen years' activity of a few Greek-speakers by the Bos- phorus nearly fourteen centuries ago? Chancellor Kent says: "With most of the European nations, and in the new states of Spanish America, and in one of the United States, it (Roman law) constitutes the principal basis of their unwritten or common law. It exerts a very considerable influence on our own municipal law, and particularly on those branches of it which are of equity and admiralty jurisdiction, or fall within the cognizance of the surrogate or consistorial courts . It is now taught and obeyed not only in France, Spain, Germany, Holland, and Scotland, but in the islands of the Indian Ocean, and on the banks of the Mississippi and St. Lawrence. So true, it seems, are the words of d'Agnesseau, that 'the grand destinies of Rome are not yet accomplished; she reigns throughout the world by her reason, after having ceased to reign by her authority?'" And of the honored jurists whose names are carved on the stones of the Law Building of the University of Pennsyl- vania another may be cited as viewing the matter from a different standpoint.
