Dr. Sezgin GÜÇLÜAY Mehmet Ertan BAMYACI ELAZIĞ-2017 II ÖZET Doktora Tezi Bizans İmparatorluğunda Ticaret (VIII-X. Yüzyıllar) Mehmet Ertan BAMYACI Fırat Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Genel Türk Tarihi Anabilim Dalı Elazığ-2017, Sayfa: XIII+302 İnsanlık tarihi ile başlayan ticaret, tarih boyunca farklı gelişim süreçleri yaşamıştır. Hayatın devamı için gerekli olan zorunlu tüketim ürünlerinin takası (trampa) ile başlayan bu süreç, günümüze gelindiğinde küresel bir boyut kazanmış ve dünya siyasetinin temel belirleyici unsurlarından biri halini almıştır. Başlangıçtan günümüze yaşamış olduğu gelişim sürecinde ticarete katkı sunan aktörlerden birisi ise Bizans’tır. Bir çağa damgasını vurmuş bu büyük imparatorluk, uygulamış olduğu ticaret politikaları ve ticarete kazandırmış olduğu müesseselerle sadece kendi döneminde değil, kendinden sonra kurulan güçlü devletlere de örnek oluşturmuştur. Bizans’ın sahip olduğu coğrafi konum, onu doğu ve batı dünyası arasında bir kavşak yapmıştır. Özellikle de Bizans, doğunun lüks ürünlerini batıya aktarmada önemli bir aracı rol üstlenmiştir. İmparatorluğun başkenti olan Konstantinopolis, uluslararası ticaretin yürütülmüş olduğu yolların kesişme noktasındadır ve adeta bir dünya başkentidir. Ayrıca “Altın Boynuz” olarak tabir edilen doğal ve muhteşem bir limana sahip olması bu kentin ticari anlamda en büyük avantajlarından biri olmuştur. Nüfusunun en az olduğu dönemlerde dahi sayının iki yüz binin altına düşmemesi burayı ticari açıdan hep önemli kılmıştır. Kentte yoğun bir üretim yapılmasına rağmen, bu üretim kentin ihtiyaçlarını karşılama noktasında yeterli gelmemektedir. Bu sebeple başkent, imparatorluğun farklı bölgeleriyle ve dış dünyayla ithalat ağırlıklı bir ticari faaliyet sürdürmektedir. Bu noktada özellikle ipek ve baharat gibi pahalı ve lüks ürünlerin temininde dış dünyaya muhtaçtır.

  • Byzantine Names for SCA Personae
    1 A Short (and rough) Guide to Byzantine Names for SCA personae This is a listing of names that may be useful for constructing Byzantine persona. Having said that, please note that the term „Byzantine‟ is one that was not used in the time of the Empire. They referred to themselves as Romans. Please also note that this is compiled by a non-historian and non-linguist. When errors are detected, please let me know so that I can correct them. Additional material is always welcomed. It is a work in progress and will be added to as I have time to research more books. This is the second major revision and the number of errors picked up is legion. If you have an earlier copy throw it away now. Some names of barbarians who became citizens are included. Names from „client states‟ such as Serbia and Bosnia, as well as adversaries, can be found in my other article called Names for other Eastern Cultures. In itself it is not sufficient documentation for heraldic submission, but it will give you ideas and tell you where to start looking. The use of (?) means that either I have nothing that gives me an idea, or that I am not sure of what I have. If there are alternatives given of „c‟, „x‟ and „k‟ modern scholarship prefers the „k‟. „K‟ is closer to the original in both spelling and pronunciation.

On the death of her parents she was baptized, gave away her goods to the poor, put on male attire and was received under the name of John into a monastery at Jerusalem. After 20 years of irreproachable ascetic life she was accused of having violated a nun. Instead of clearing her name, she chose patiently to bear the heavy punishment dealt by her abbot. Under threat of excommunication from the Bishop, she revealed her identity. Her truth amazed all.

  • The Problem of the Marriage of the Emperor Theophilus Treadgold, Warren T Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Fall 1975; 16, 3; Proquest Pg
    The Problem of the Marriage of the Emperor Theophilus Treadgold, Warren T Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Fall 1975; 16, 3; ProQuest pg. 325 The Problem of the Marriage of the Emperor Theophilus Warren T. Treadgold HE MARRIAGE of the Emperor Theophilus (A.D. 829-42) took Tplace in the year 830 according to Symeon the Logothete, the only primary source to mention the event. In 1901, however, E. W. Brooks redated the marriage to 821/22. Brooks noted that Theophanes Continuatus has the youngest of the emperor's five daughters marry at least by 839, while a passage in the De Ceremoniis seems to assume the daughter was married by 831; Brooks con­ jectured that this daughter was the eldest and married at nine.1 Though Brooks' date of 821/22 for Theophilus' marriage has gone unchallenged, its implications, especially for Theophilus' coinage, have been argued over ever since. 2 I believe that a resolution of the controversy is impossible under Brooks' theory, but the date and account of the Logothete, if accepted, can lead not only to solving the chronological problem but also to explaining some peculiar facts about Theophilus' life and reign. A survey of the sources will show the attractiveness of believing the Logothete. Except for the chronicle of George the Monk, which has mostly invective against iconoclasm to contribute, Symeon's chronicle is probably the earliest literary source for the reign of Theophilus. According to Bury, Symeon finished writing in either 944 or 948 and made use of the "Lost Amorian Chronicle" of an adherent of The- 1 E.

    A GOLD FINGER RING AND THE EMPRESS EUDOCIA JANE C. BIERS ewelry that can be associated with an illustrious historical personage is rare; thus, a gold finger ring (Figs. 1 and 2) inscribed with the name of Aelia Eudocia, wife of the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius II, is of particular Jinterest. 1 Apart from its inscription, however, there is nothing remarkable about the ring itself, which has a thin, flat, bezel decorated with an incised, equal-armed cross once inlaid with niello, the black, silver/ copper sulphide popular with Byz­ antine gold- and silversmiths for decorating jew­ elry and plate.2 The niello has been partially and roughly removed from the cross, leaving an uneven border around the edge. The circular hoop is narrow and faceted on the exterior, and its two ends, covered by the bezel, have not been soldered together to form a complete ring; the ends are still visible beneath the bezel. The inscription on the 1. Finger ring with exterior of the hoop (Fig. 2) gives the name and title of the empress, AEL(IA) inscription of EVDOCIA A VG(VST A), each letter being incised in a single facet and with Empress Eudocia, some niello still remaining in the letters. A short Byzantine, gold, horizontal stroke separates and niello, the three words, and between the O and C of EVDOCIA there is a third Museum of Art horizontal stroke combined with a vertical one, perhaps intended to be a and Archaeology small cross. (77.239). The identification of the person named on the ring is not open to question.
