The research took place at the Centre for Byzantine Research in Athens (IVE) with the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Serbian Government and the Serbian Orthodox Metropoly of Montenegro. The first preliminary results on the supposed, now lost source of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, were published in an article in Byzantina Symmeikta (2010) and the results I presented at that time allowed me to try to make a more profound analysis of that source and eventually to reveal the most significant number of its fragments preserved in the Croat and Serb chapters of De administrando imperio – its original purpose – as well as the possible background of its composition. -
The Migration of Syrian and Palestinian Populations in the 7Th Century: Movement of Individuals and Groups in the Mediterranean
Chapter 10 The Migration of Syrian and Palestinian Populations in the 7th Century: Movement of Individuals and Groups in the Mediterranean Panagiotis Theodoropoulos In 602, the Byzantine emperor Maurice was dethroned and executed in a mili- tary coup, leading to the takeover of Phokas. In response to that, the Sasanian Great King Khosrow ii (590–628), who had been helped by Maurice in 591 to regain his throne from the usurper Bahram, launched a war of retribution against Byzantium. In 604 taking advantage of the revolt of the patrikios Nars- es against Phokas, he captured the city of Dara. By 609, the Persians had com- pleted the conquest of Byzantine Mesopotamia with the capitulation of Edes- sa.1 A year earlier, in 608, the Exarch of Carthage Herakleios the Elder rose in revolt against Phokas. His nephew Niketas campaigned against Egypt while his son, also named Herakleios, led a fleet against Constantinople. Herakleios managed to enter the city and kill Phokas. He was crowned emperor on Octo- ber 5, 610.2 Ironically, three days later on October 8, 610, Antioch, the greatest city of the Orient, surrendered to the Persians who took full advantage of the Byzantine civil strife.3 A week later Apameia, another great city in North Syria, came to terms with the Persians. Emesa fell in 611. Despite two Byzantine counter at- tacks, one led by Niketas in 611 and another led by Herakleios himself in 613, the Persian advance seemed unstoppable. Damascus surrendered in 613 and a year later Caesarea and all other coastal towns of Palestine fell as well. -

MARKOPOULOS 1.7.2020.Indd
https://doi.org/10.26262/par.v10i0.7724 THEOPHANES CONTINUATUS AND MICHAEL PSELLOS A DISCREET RELATIONSHIP ATHANASIOS MARKOPOULOS – CHRISTINA SIDERI As is widely known, during the tenth century, the “official history” of the rul- ing house of the Macedonians, conventionally called Theophanes Continuatus (henceforth ThCont), was composed at the court of Constantine VII Porphyro- gennetos (945-959), most probably at the behest of the emperor himself. This historical work – being certainly a great innovation in Byzantine historiography, as it employs the biographical form – covers the years 813-886, encompassing the reigns of five emperors, i.e. Leo V (813-820), Michael II (820-829), Theophi- los (829-842), Michael III (842-867) (included in books I-IV respectively), and Basil I (867-886), the founder of the Macedonian dynasty, to whom is dedicated book V, the famous Vita Basilii (henceforth VB); the narrative of this last book acquires a clearly laudatory character.1 1 For the relevant bibliography, the reader can refer to the following works: Vita Basilii, ed. I. Ševčenko, Chronographiae quae Theophanis Continuati nomine fertur liber quo Vita Basilii Imperatoris amplectitur (CFHB, 42). Berlin/Boston 2011, 36*-55*; ThCont (I-IV), ed. M. Featherstone – J.

En revanche nous connaissons les portraits qu’il a dressés de plusieurs aristocrates provinciaux : trois d’entre eux sont réunis dans le volume Cinq études sur le XIe siècle byzantin ; le quatrième, consacré à Kékauménos, lui est antérieur 1. Lorsqu’il analyse le testament d’Eustathe Boïlas, la diataxis de Michel Attaliatès, le typikon de Grégoire Pakourianos et les Conseils et récits de Kékauménos, Paul Lemerle y relève avec soin ce qui caractérise leurs auteurs comme provinciaux. -

Confrontation and Interchange Between Byzantines And
Chapter 5 Confrontation and Interchange between Byzantines and Normans in Southern Italy: the Cases of St Nicholas of Myra and St Nicholas the Pilgrim at the End of the 11th Century Penelope Mougoyianni 1 Introduction1 The Norman conquest of southern Italy in 1071 was followed by a transitional period during which significant changes took place.2 Urban governments emerged in the cities of the region because the Norman rulers could not es- tablish full control over the former Byzantine territories.3 At the same time, the bishoprics were reorganized by the pope and the Normans in order to utterly pass into the jurisdiction of the Church of Rome.4 The construction or reconstruction of the cities’s cathedrals was connected with the (re)discovery and translation of the relics of patron saints. These saints were mainly of Latin origin and many of them stemmed from southern Italy’s Latin past before the 1 I am grateful to Professors Elena Boeck (DePaul University), Stefanos Efthymiadis (Open University of Cyprus), Marina Falla Castelfranchi (University of Lecce), and Dr Mercou- rios Georgiadis for their encouragement, their valuable comments, and every kind of help they offered me at different stages of writing this article, my supervisor Professor Sophia Kalopissi-Verti (University of Athens) for generously sharing her photographs, Dr Paul Old- field (Manchester Metropolitan University) for sending me his excellent study on St Nicholas the Pilgrim, and Professor Vasilios Koukousas (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) for dis- patching to me inaccessible studies.

Basil I's Genealogy and Byzantine Historical Memory of The
Artaxerxes in Constantinople: Basil I’s Genealogy and Byzantine Historical Memory of the Achaemenid Persians Nathan Leidholm HE EMPIRE FOUNDED by Cyrus the Great in 550 BCE proved to be exceptionally long-lasting in its impact on T subsequent polities throughout much of the ancient and medieval world. The memory of ancient Persia and its mean- ing were constantly made and re-made for centuries from Western Europe to India and beyond. Its impact was so great that modern scholars have even coined a term to describe it: ‘Persianism’. Rolf Strootman and Miguel John Versluys have recently collected a number of essays dedicated to the concept, which is designed to encapsulate “the ideas and associations revolving around [Achaemenid] Persia and appropriated in specific contexts for specific (socio-cultural or political) rea- sons.”1 The empire encouraged and accommodated a wide range of ideological purposes across several linguistic, religious, and political communities from antiquity to the present. In- deed, Garth Fowden once described large portions of antiquity as “living in the shadow of Cyrus.”2 Yet the medieval Roman Empire, Byzantium, has been largely absent from these discus- sions. The Byzantines maintained a knowledge of and interest in 1 R. Strootman and M.
