City map Lake Ohrid History of Ohrid Churches and Monasteries ... Embassy of Local Democracy SAMUEL'S EMPIRE In 969 a conflict between the Byzantine Empire and the state of Kiev occurred. During the most severe conflicts between the Bulgarians, Byzantine and Russians, the Bulgarian Czar Peter died. His death in Macedonia was used as an excuse to start-up for a liberation resurrection. From the very beginning of the uprising incited by the sons of a Slav prince Nikola: David, Moses, Aaron and Samuel, the town of Ohrid and its surroundings were in the very centre of the tumults. The uprising started in 969 and quickly stretched out throughout the territory of the former "Sklavinia" (province) Berzitia. This territory and other neighbouring regions were freed from the Bulgarian rule. The former Macedonian "sclavinias" (provinces) were united into a Macedonian Slavic state known as Samuel's Empire. Although still under the supreme rule of the Byzantine emperor, in the period from 971 to 976 princes David, Aaron, Moses and Samuel managed to gain international recognition for their state. Later, as a monarch, Samuel managed to develop a large army and well-trained soldiers so that by the end of X century the Macedonian state (Thessalonika excluded) was also covering the territories of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Albania and Croatia. After obtaining the Pope's blessing, Samuel promoted the Macedonian Church to the rank of a patriarchate. Ohrid then became the ecclesiastical and czaristic centre of the Macedonian State and grew into a true medieval metropolis. The town consisted of two territorially adjoining parts: the fortress, i.e., acropolis, and lower town. These two sections formed the entire urban dwelling at that time known as polis.

Greece History: The Byzantine Period Greece Byzantine: A description of the byzantine in Greece Greece history The Byzantine empire rise and fall During the 3rd century, Greece was invaded by various tribes: Heruli, the Goths, the Alemanni, the Franks, and the Vandals and Sassanians defeated Roman armies several times during the third century. The Pax Romana started to break. Deep social and economical problems rose through the Empire. Taxes increased to expand or organise the army. In the meantime, Christianity became slowly the Empire's religion. St Paul came in Greece to proclaim Christianity with his famous "sermon on an Unknown God" in 51 A.D. In 305 AD, Constantine became Emperor of Rome. In 324 A.D., the Emperor Constantine I transferred the capital of the Empire from Rome to Byzantium which took the name of Constantinople. In 364 AD, the Empire was officially split: the Roman Empire was divided in two parts: the Roman Empire at the west and the Byzantine Empire at the east. The Roman Empire started to decline leaving its place to the Byzantine Empire. The strategically location of Constantinople, between the Black Sea and the Aegean, allowed the control over East and West Empire.

HIS 203: The Byzantine Empire, 330-1453 I. Course Overview The Christianization of the Roman Empire and the transfer of its capital to Constantinople gave rise to a powerful and stable Eastern Roman Empire (called "Byzantine"), lasting almost 1000 years after the collapse of the empire in the West. This course is an inquiry into the reasons for its stability and longevity. It also attempts to explain why the Byzantine Empire declined and was finally conquered by the Ottoman Turks. Emphasis is given to the Eastern Empire's disastrous relations with the Latin West during the Crusades as the chief reason for its decline and fall. Thus this course offers a way to understand the heritage of the ancient world as well the origins of some of the current ethnic, cultural and religious problems facing Greece, Turkey, Eastern Europe and Russia. This semester we will see, first of all, how Roman, Greek and Christian elements fuse in the East to form a legitimate and enormously stable successor state to the pagan Roman Empire. The Byzantine Empire served as "civilizer" of the West in many senses, and the course will show how its advanced civilization contributed to the West's development. East and West, however, split not only geographically but also religiously. The tragedy of the Eastern Empire was to be caught between a doctrinally hostile and envious Medieval West and the repeated Islamic onslaughts. The combined weight of both these enemies served ultimately to destroy what was called (along with old Rome) one of the "two eyes" of Christianity.

They were ably assisted by assistant curator Stephen Zwirn and curatorial assistant Ginger Crockett. Joseph Mills took the photographs that were such an essential part of the exhibit, and the installation was skillfully overseen by Christopher Harrison and Suzanne Mercury. As a new initiative Dumbarton Oaks has decided to transfer the exhibit to an online format to make it more widely accessible. Clarence Foules, Chris Dunham, and Lauren Henkin of the Publications Department were responsible for the transformation of the exhibit into electronic form. Coinage of the Byzantine Empire offers insights into the numismatic holdings at Dumbarton Oaks that, with the exception of some spectacular late Roman gold and silver medallions, are only rarely on public display.

Although its capital had been moved from Rome in the Latin West to Constantinople in the Greek East, the Byzantine Empire regarded itself as a continuation of the Roman Empire, differing from it only in being Christian in religion and Greek in speech. No elements in its coinage, however, apart from the use of Latin in its inscriptions, are earlier than the 4th century A.D.

Mosaics Mosaics are designs or pictures created by embedding small pieces of glass, stone, terracotta etc. into a bed of cement or other form of fixative. This form of decoration is often used for panels or on floors, but is especially effective on curved surfaces, such as ceilings and vaults. Mosaics are found both indoors and outdoors. The art of mosaic, in one form or another, has been practiced for thousands of years, but mosaic as we know it was invented by the Greeks, who then passed their skills on to the Romans. Many ancient mosaics have survived the ravages of time remarkably well. The Romans in due course became the Byzantines, who are renowned for their superb wall and vault mosaics. Byzantium fell in the 15th century AD, and mosaic went into a decline until the great revival in the 19th century, a revival which has continued to this day. Modern developments in materials and techniques are evidence that mosaic is very much alive as we approach the Millenium. Computers are of course ideal for designing contemporary mosaics, and are increasingly used for that purpose.
