Тезата што овде се аргументира е дека Склавинија не бил во употреба меѓу VI – VIII век. Еднократната појава на овој термин во Историјата на Теофилакт Симоката е дискутирана во рамките на дебатата водена во последно време околу прашањето дали е во прашање придавка или именка. Понудена е и трета можност дека зборот Склавинија може да е резултат од интервенција во текстот извршена во најстариот манускрипт во X век, од кој сите зачувани потекнуваат. Специјално внимание е обратено на начинот на кој е употребен поимот во Хронографијата на Теофан. Преку нејзина споредба со историјата ан патријархот Никифор и други извори се доаѓа до заклучок дека терминот влегол во употреба после времето во кое историјата на Никифор била завршена. Паралелно имиња слични на Склавинија се појавуваат во изворите (Велзитија, Веризтија). Поимот бил во интензивна и вообичаена употреба во првата половина на XIX век за Централните балкански територии, а во средината ан 10ти век – за Далмација. За последен пат поимот се употребува во XII в., но со веќе сменета смисла. Клучни зборови: Склавинија, византиски извори, Словенски области, терминологија, Теофилакт Симоката, Теофан Исповедник Abstract The main goal in this article is to clarify the chronology of use and geographical frame of the term Sclavinia in Byzantine sources. The thesis argumented there is that term Sclavinia was not in regular or common use in VI – VIII centuries. The question of the only case of appearing of word Sclavinia in Theophylact History is discussed in light of later debate of it as noon or adjective in the science. The third possibility is also suggested that it can be later interventions in the oldest Xth century manuscript from each all other depend. Special attention is paid to the way Sclavinia was used in Theophanes Chronography. By its compar- ison with Nicephorus Breve History and other sources conclusion is proposed that the term appeared after Nicephorus work was finished. In same time the names similar to Sclavinia also appeared in sources (Velzitia, Verzitia). Term was used intensively and as contemporary and current for territory of Central Balkan before 850, and in middle 10th for Slavic counties in Dalmatia. The last time term was used in XII century, but already with different meaning. Key words: Sclavinia, Byzantine source, Slavic regions, terminology, Theophylact Simocatta, Theophanes Confessor Stojko Stojkov 414 he term Sclavinia is very important for understanding of realities and process- Tes on the Balkans in the early middle age.1 In the last decade, the debate about it become actual again, after Evangelos Chrysos article in 20072 and polemic which it aroused between Florin Curta and Andreas Gkoutziokostas, in which I also was unexpectedly involved.3 The goal of this article is to re-examine the chronology of use of the term Sclavinia in Byzantine sources. Traditional chronology was based on the use of the term in Miracula of Saint Demetrius (for the end of VI c.), History of The- ophylact Simocatta (for 602), and Chronography of Theophanes (for 658, 689, 758, 810). After the critical edition of Miracula by Lemerle, it became clear that Sclavinia did not exist in the original.4 The collapse of one of the three “pillars” on which the theory on the early use of the term relied rendered it problematic.5 Chrysos, followed by Gkoutzioukostas challenged the use of term Sclavinia in Theophylact Simocatta seeing it as adjective not a noon. Curta disagreed. The dilemma of the nature of word sclavinia in the History of Theophylact Simocatta - the only known Byzantine source, written between the 6th and 8th centuries, in which we find the word Σκλαυηνία for sure, will be the first examined question in this article. Secondly, According to Chrysos Sclavinia in Theophanes, except for the 810 is metonymy. It is a problematic approach

  • Combat Motivation and Cohesion in the Age of Justinian by Conor Whately, University of Winnipeg
    Combat Motivation and Cohesion in the Age of Justinian By Conor Whately, University of Winnipeg One topic that regularly recurs in the scholarship on modern warfare is combat cohesion and motivation. Many volumes have been published on these topics, and there is no sign that this interest might abate any time soon. That interest has only rarely filtered down to scholarship of the ancient and late antique worlds, however. 1 The sixth century is well suited to analyses of these issues given the abundance of varied and high quality evidence, despite the lack of attention given the subject by modern scholars. This chapter seeks to remedy this by offering an introduction to combat cohesion and motivation in the sixth century. It forms the second half of a two-part project on the subject, and the core this project is the evidence of Procopius. 2 Procopius describes more than thirty battles or sieges from the age of Justinian,3 and his battle narratives have been the subject of a good deal of research. 4 Yet there is much more work to do on sixth-century combat and our understanding Procopius’ value as a source for military history. By introducing the subject of combat cohesion and motivation in the sixth century, this paper seeks to move the discussion forward. 5 The first part of this paper will be concerned with motivation, and will explore the much discussed “ratio of fire” and its applicability in an ancient context, the presumed bellicosity of some soldiers that many of our sources hint at, and the role of fear in motivating soldiers to fight and to maintain their cohesion.

    Geographia Polonica 2019, Volume 92, Issue 1, pp. 83-102 https://doi.org/10.7163/GPol.0138 INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY AND SPATIAL ORGANIZATION POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES www.igipz.pan.pl www.geographiapolonica.pl THE VARDAR RIVER AS A BORDER OF SEMIOSPHERE – PARADOX OF SKOPJE REGENERATION Armina Kapusta Urban Regeneration Laboratory Institute of Urban Geography and Tourism Studies Faculty of Geographical Sciences University of Łódź Kopcińskiego 31, 90-142 Łódź: Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract As suggested by its etymology, regeneration usually carries positive connotations while its negative aspects tend to be belittled. 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.

Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

(...) Some perched higher behaving in­ decorously, others located in the market shouted at the horsemen, applauded them and screamed more than others.1 The above characteristics of the Byzantine supporters, recorded in the fourth century by the bishop of Constantinople, John Chrysostom, could as well, after minor adjustments, be applied to describe today’s football fans .Support in sport is certainly one of the oldest human passions. It is only the disciplines captivating audiences that change. In the ancient Roman Empire, bloody spectacles had the same role as today’s world league games – gladiatorial combat and fights withwild animals2. However, they were incompatible with Christian morality, and as such, they were gradually eliminated as the Christianization progressed3 .Their place was taken by hippodrome racing, particularly chariot racing . Residents of the imperial capital cheered the chariot drivers, whose colourful outfits signaled their membership in a particular circus faction . In the empire, there were four factions (demes), named after the colours of their outfits worn by runners and drivers representing them, the Blues, Greens, Whites and Reds4 .Each faction had 1 Joannes Chrysostomos, Homilia adversus eos qui ecclesia relicta ad circenses ludos et theatra transfugerunt, 1, [in:] PG, vol .

  • Slavs and Avars (500–800)
    chapter 4 East European Dark Ages: Slavs and Avars (500–800) In response to repeated raids into their lands “on the far side of the river” Danube, the Slavs, thought it over among themselves, and said: “These Romani, now that they have crossed over and found booty, will in the future not cease com- ing over against us, and so we will devise a plan against them.” And so, therefore, the Slavs, or Avars, took counsel, and on one occasion when the Romani had crossed over, they laid ambushes and attacked and defeat- ed them. The aforesaid Slavs took the Roman arms and the rest of their military insignia and crossed the river and came to the frontier pass, and when the Romani who were there saw them and beheld the standards and accouterments of their own men they thought they were their own men, and so, when the aforesaid Slavs reached the pass, they let them through. Once through, they instantly expelled the Romani and took pos- session of the aforesaid city of Salona. There they settled and thereafter began gradually to make plundering raids and destroyed the Romani who dwelt in the plains and on the higher ground and took possession of their lands.1 Thus described Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, in the mid-10th century, the migration of the Slavs from their lands to the Balkans. The story is placed chronologically “once upon a time,” at some point between the reigns of Emperors Diocletian, who brought the “Romani” to Dalmatia, and Heraclius. There is no reason to treat the story as a trustworthy historical account, but it is clear that it is meant to explain the particular situation of Salona and the former province of Dalmatia.2 No historian seems to have noticed so far that Emperor Constantine VII’s account is, after all, the only written testimony of 1 Constantine Porphyrogenitus, On the Administration of the Empire 29, pp.

  • Menander Protector, Fragments 6.1-3
    Menander Protector, Fragments 6.1-3 Sasanika Sources History of Menander the Guardsman (Menander Protector) was written at the end of the sixth century CE by a minor official of the Roman/Byzantine court. The original text is in Greek, but has survived only in a fragmentary form, quoted in compilations and other historical writings. The author, Menander, was a native of Constantinople, seemingly from a lowly class and initially himself not worthy of note. In a significant introductory passage, he courageously admits to having undertaken the writing of his History (’ st a) as a way of becoming more respectable and forging himself a career. He certainly was a contemporary and probably an acquaintance of the historian Theophylact Simocatta and worked within the same court of Emperor Maurice. His title of “Protector” seems to suggest a military position, but most scholars suspect that this was only an honorary title without any real responsibilities. Menander’s history claims to continue the work of Agathias and so starts from the date that Agathias left off, namely AD 557. His style of presentation, if not his actual writing style, are thus influenced by Agathias, although he seems much less partial than the former in presentation of the events. He seems to have had access to imperial archives and reports and consequently presents us with a seemingly accurate version of the events, although at time he might be exaggerating some of his facts. The following is R. C. Blockley’s English translation of the fragments 6.1-3 of Menander Protector’s History, which deals directly with the Sasanian-Roman peace treaty of 562 and provides us with much information about the details of negotiations that took place around this treaty.

Tym razem przedmiotem jego rozwaŜań są przejawy separatyzmu na ziemiach bułgarskich od czasów odrodzenia Bułgarii po powstaniu Teodora- Piotra i Asena po połowę wieku XIII. W obrębie jego rozwaŜań zna- leźli się moŜni, którzy, w interesującym go okresie, zbudowali samo- dzielne lub na wpół samodzielne władztwa. Badacz stara się odtwo- rzyć ich losy, zasięg terytorialny posiadłości, którymi zarządzali, wreszcie ocenić znaczenie ich działalności w kontekście interesów państwowości bułgarskiej. Jego szczególną uwagę budzą równieŜ rezydencje i twierdze, które znalazły się w rękach separatystów (m.in. Wielki Presław, Prosek, Cepina, Melnik). Cele, które postawił sobie G.N. Nikołow, nie były łatwe do zrealizowania ze względu na skąpość i charakter materiałów źródłowych, którymi dysponują badacze zajmujący się tymi zagadnieniami. Mimo to bułgarskiemu uczonemu udało się, w moim przekonaniu, zbudować pełny, na ile było to moŜliwe, obraz ruchów separatystycznych na ziemiach buł- garskich od końca XII po połowę XIII w. Praca podzielona jest na pięć podstawowych części. W pierwszej, zatytułowanej Apanažni vladenija i separatizăm v Bălgarskija seve- roiztok (s. 59–69), Autor przedstawia dwie samodzielne czy częściowo samodzielne struktury, które istniały w północno-wschodniej Bułga- 1 Dorobek G.N. Nikołowa obejmuje sto kilkadziesiąt pozycji, spośród których szczególną uwagę trzeba zwrócić na ksiąŜkę: Centralizăm i regionalizăm v ranno- srednovekovna Bălgarija ( kraja na VII-načaloto na XI v.), Sofija 2005, ss.

He was constantly impressed with the fact that all too little attention has been paid hither­ to to the subject even by scholars of the Balkan nations, not to speak of non-Slavic historians; consequently, much preliminary pioneering work had to be done. Much yet remains to be accomplished; but the restricted scope of this undertaking as well as the paucity of source material per­ taining to the early history of the Balkan peninsula com­ bined to make the treatment actually adopted expedient. In gathering his material, the author spent some time during the summer of 1931 in the Balkans.
