Robert Mihajlovski the Medieval Town of Prilep Robert Mihajlovski The Medieval Town of Prilep The Medieval settlement of Prilep (Прилепъ), or Byzantine Prilapos (Πρίλαπος), was situated near the Roman site of Ceramiae.1 In Macedonia, north of Thessalonica, the town of Prilep had a strategic position on the vital route of communication between the junctions of the Via Egnatia near Bitola and the road corridor of the Vardar river system at Stobi (Fig. 21). It was situated in the centre of a network of small roads and communications and guarded the passes of Mount Babuna and Pletvar controlling the gates to the Pelagonian valley and the Via Egnatia.2 The fortress of Prilep was literally attached to the rocky hilltop, and “Prilep” in Slavonic means “stuck on the rock”.3 (Fig. 22). It was first mentioned by John Skylitzes in connection with the Tsar Samuel, who died there from apoplexy two days after hearing the news from the Battle of Kleidion near Strumitsa on 6 October 1014.4 After the definitive victory, Emperor Basil II reorganised Tsar Samuel’s realm and its former Patriarchate into an independent Archbishopric named after Justiniana Prima, based at Okhrid and encompassing the territory of the whole of conquered Bulgaria, without abolishing its autocephaly nor reducing its scope. In the first chrysobull, issued by the Emperor Basil II in 1019 the town of Prilep was mentioned as a part of the bishopric of Bitola (Pelagonia): And the bishop of Bitola shall have Pelagonia, Prilep, Debreshte and Veles with fifteen clerics and fifteen parishes.5 In Varosh, the “suburbia” of Prilep’s castle, a Cyrillic Church Slavonic inscription was found in the monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael, referring to Bishop Andrew in the year 996.6 The title of Bishop Andrew mentioned in the inscription is enigmatic and it may 1 F.

The rare Slavonic epigraphic document can be read as, “In the year 996 Bishop Andrew departed this life, 17 February”. 218 The Medieval Town of Prilep be that he was bishop of Bitola or the Choroepiskopos of Prilep who was under the bishop’s jurisdiction. The valley of Pelagonia with its towns of Bitola and Prilep was involved in the insurrections of Peter Delyan in 1041 and George Voytekh in 1072.7 In 1041, when the Byzantine Emperor Michael IV was suppressing Delyan’s revolt, the local military commander Manuel Ivatz tried to stop the Byzantine army at the Pass of Pletvar, northwest of Prilep, but without success.8 The Byzantine administration engaged in military intervention in order to pacify the province. The nearby military camp of Pelagonia near Bitola served as the imperial base for the emperors Alexios I Komnenos (1081–1118) and Manuel I Komnenos (1143–1180). Between 1198 and 1204 the importance of Prilep increased and the valley of Pelagonia was assigned under a “Partitio Terrarum Imperii Romaniae” as Provincia Prilapi et Pelagoniae cum Stano, but there are no indications of the Latin Crusaders’ occupation.9 In the decisive battle at Pelagonia in 1211, however, the region was taken from the local ruler, Strez the Sebastokrator by the alliance of Michael I Komnenos Doukas of Epiros and Henry I, the Latin emperor.10 Starting from 1215 this territory changed masters: it was taken by the Despotate of Epiros under Theodore Doukas, then it was retaken and included in the Bulgarian Empire of Tsar John Asen II in 1230 who replaced the Byzantine administration and clergy with his own officers.11 In the period between 1246 and 1259, the area of Pelagonia/Bitola and Prilep rapidly changed hands between the Despotate of Epiros and the Nicaean Empire. In 1246 Prilep was retaken by the Despotate of Epiros under John Doukas, then in 1252–1253 by the Nicaean Empire and again by the Epirotes under Michael II in 1257–1258. According to George Acropolites, Prilep was a strategic fortress, (φρούριον) on the border with the Serbian kingdom in the north.12 The seat of the Pelagonian diocese was temporarily transferred to Prilep in the twelfth and again in the fourteenth century because of its strategic position in the region – as mentioned above, the city’s location intersected a number of important roads and served to guard the Pelagonian valley from nearby mountains. The upper fortress of Prilep was virtually an acropolis and according to the historian Acropolites writing in 1258, it could easily be defended by only forty soldiers.13 In 1259, a battle took place in the southern region of the Pelagonian valley between the forces of the Empire of Nicaea and a triple alliance led by Michael II Komnenos Doukas of 7 Lj.

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.

  • The Daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the Wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince
    The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince «The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician­Volhynian Prince» by Alexander V. Maiorov Source: Byzantinoslavica ­ Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines (Byzantinoslavica ­ Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines), issue: 1­2 / 2014, pages: 188­233, on www.ceeol.com. The daughter of a Byzantine Emperor – the wife of a Galician-Volhynian Prince Alexander V. MAIOROV (Saint Petersburg) The Byzantine origin of Prince Roman’s second wife There is much literature on the subject of the second marriage of Roman Mstislavich owing to the disagreements between historians con- cerning the origin of the Princeís new wife. According to some she bore the name Anna or, according to others, that of Maria.1 The Russian chronicles give no clues in this respect. Indeed, a Galician chronicler takes pains to avoid calling the Princess by name, preferring to call her by her hus- band’s name – “âĺëčęŕ˙ ęí˙ăčí˙ Ðîěŕíîâŕ” (Roman’s Grand Princess).2 Although supported by the research of a number of recent investiga- tors, the hypothesis that she belonged to a Volhynian boyar family is not convincing. Their arguments generally conclude with the observation that by the early thirteenth century there were no more princes in Rusí to whom it would have been politically beneficial for Roman to be related.3 Even less convincing, in our opinion, is a recently expressed supposition that Romanís second wife was a woman of low birth and was not the princeís lawful wife at all.4 Alongside this, the theory of the Byzantine ori- gin of Romanís second wife has been significantly developed in the litera- ture on the subject.

  • The Macedonia-Greece Dispute/Difference Over the Name Issue: Mitigating the Inherently Unsolvable
    New Balkan Politics Issue 14, 2013 The Macedonia-Greece dispute/difference over the name issue: mitigating the inherently unsolvable Hristijan Ivanovski1 Center for Defence and Security Studies University of Manitoba [email protected] Abstract Having entered its third decade, the Macedonia-Greece naming disputei seems as if it is set to join an infamous category of international relations—that of the world‘s chronic unsolvable issues. By focusing on the post-2006 decline in Macedonian-Greek (political) relations and the stalemate in negotiations on the name issue, this paper lays out and reassesses most of the fundamental components and recent variables in the dispute but also seeks to demystify important aspects of the dispute and to identify the space for a rational, common sense solution. Beginning with a substantiated claim that obstructive politics have been practised by certain NATO/EU circles towards Macedonia, and going on to deconstruct the myth that the dispute is purely bilateral and limited only to the name issue, this article warns that the intermittent optimism exhibited among the stakeholders in the negotiations means little given the historical depth of this otherwise simple dispute. The main message of this paper, however, is contained in a subsequent definition of the dispute as (part of) a perverse, inherently unsolvable, centuries-old problem that can only be mitigated rather than conclusively addressed, since it is based on vital, incompatible national interests and, consequently, a rigid, inter-state/inter- society disagreement. The pressing need to mitigate the dispute via local pragmatism, balanced diplomatic pressure, and the adoption of an inventive approach, especially after the Kosovo problem has been satisfactorily closed (at least temporarily), guarantees almost nothing, since both Macedonia and Greece have strong strategic rationales for not approaching a compromise.
