  • Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019)
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 1 September 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202109.0027.v1 Article Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019) Jovan Jonovski1, * 1 Macedonian Heraldic Society; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38970252989 Abstract: Every country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1. Introduction The Republic of Macedonia became independent from the Socialist Federative Re- public of Yugoslavia with the Referendum of 8 September 1991. The Democratic Federal Macedonia was formed during the first session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the Na- tional Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) on 2 August 1944 (it later became the People’s Republic of Macedonia, a federal unit of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia).

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • 70/30 Cupronickel
    70/30 cupronickel www.columbiametals.com CN107 / C71500 / CW354H / DEF STAN 02-780 [email protected] 70/30 is a copper nickel alloy noted for its excellent resistance to corrosion, erosion and pitting combined with a good strength, workability and weldability. It has enjoyed a long and successful history in the marine sector that has since extended to industries including offshore oil and gas, power generation, desalination and cooling plants. 70/30 cupronickel The most popular specifications covering this alloy are the CN107 and C71500 designations, although the Naval Engineering specifications DEF STAN 02-780 or NES 780 offer tighter controls on impurities and mechanical properties together with a mandatory impact value. 70/30 is best renowned for its excellent corrosion and erosion resistance, especially in marine environments. Its corrosion resistance is improved in higher velocity waters (up to 4.5m/s) and polluted seawater. It is also highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue and has a high retention of mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures to ~300oC. In the annealed condition, 70/30 offers moderate strength levels which enable it to be used in more demanding applications. In addition, it displays inherent resistance to biofouling. A protective oxide film forms naturally over the material during the initial period of use, creating an inhospitable surface that deters marine growth. 70/30 responds well to most fabrication processes and is readily hot and cold worked. It is also easily joined by soldering, brazing and a variety of welding methods. With good hot and cold formability and a malleability approaching that of copper, 70/30 does not harden rapidly, lending the material to drawing and spinning.

The study reacts to the exhibition on Emperor Sigmund in 2006 that in its catalogue brings some incor- rect results on insignia of the Hungarian Order of Dragon that arose in 1408 as a formal justification of the Barons Leage. The order was revived in 1411 in connection with its use as a diplomatic means. The author in detail analyses the genesis of the order insignia that represented a dragon winded into a circle. In 1416 the ruler added to it a flaming cross in a vertical distance. The author analyses a motive of a cru- ciform wound on the dragon´s back, deals with an issue of existence of a kolany order and considers an alleged insignia of the ruler´s grave to be only a jewel.

These alloys exhibit complex precipitate nucleation and growth L12 phase mechanisms that must be fully understood in order to optimise the mechanical properties. In this work, the Microstructure microstructural characteristics of the Cu-Ni-Al based alloy, Hiduron® 130, have been assessed in the as-received SEM condition and following 100-h thermal exposures at 500, 600, 700 and 900 °C and after a two-stage exposure at TEM 900 °C for 100 h followed by 500 °C for 100 h. The L1 phase was observed to precipitate both discontinuously XRD 2 and continuously and its subsequent coarsening was characterised alongside measurements of the lattice misfit. The hardness of the alloy was found to decrease with increasing exposure temperature up to the L12 solvus and correlated with the evolution of the L12 precipitates, the alloy grain size and the fraction of the discontinuously formed L12 phase.

  • Two Phrygian Gods Between Phrygia and Dacia1
    Colloquium Anatolicum 2016 / 15 Keywords: Zeus Surgastes, Zeus Sarnendenos, gods, Phrygia, Galatia, Roman Dacia. Two Phrygian Gods Between Phrygia The author discusses the cult of Zeus Syrgastes (Syrgastos) and Zeus Sarnendenos and points out 1 and Dacia that both are of Phrygian uorigin. For Syrgastes evidence from Old Phrygian records must be added, which proves that this god was long established and had possibly Hittite-Luwian roots. Zeus Sarnendenos seems to be more recent and his mother-country may be sought in north-east Phrygia / north-west Galatia. Both cults were brought to Roman Dacia by colonists coming from Bithynia, possibly from the area of Tios/Hadrianopolis (for Zeus Syrgastes) and Galatia, perhaps from the area of modern-day Mihalıcçık (for Zeus Sarnendenos). Alexandru AVRAM2 Anahtar Kelimeler: Zeus Surgastes, Zeus Sarnendenos, Tanrılar, Phrygia, Galatia, Dacia. |70| Bu makalede Zeus Syrgastes (Syrgastos) and Zeus Sarnendenos kültleri ve bu kültlerin her iki- |71| sinin de Frigya kökenli oldukları tartışılmaktadır. Syrgastes ile ilgili kaynaklar arasında Eski Frig kaynakları bulunmaktadır ki bu durum bize bu tanrının kökenlerinin çok eskiye dayan- dığını, muhtemelen Hitit-Luwi kökenlerine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Zeus Sarnendenos daha genç bir tanrı olarak gözükmektedir ve anayurdu muhtemelen kuzey-doğu Frigya / ku- zey-batı Galatia olabilir. Muhtemelen her iki kült de Roma Dacia’sına bugünkü Bithynia’dan, Tios/Hadrianopolis (Zeus Syrgastes için) bölgesinden ve Galatia’dan, muhtemelen modern Mihalıcçık (Zeus Sarnendenos için) civarından gelen yerleşimcilerce getirilmiştir. 1 Hakeme Gönderilme Tarihi: 10.05.2016 ve 30.09.2016; Kabul Tarihi: 09.06.2016 ve 03.10.2016. 2 Alexandru AVRAM.
