    Very interesting
    I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

      I posted this roughly 5 years ago. Worth repeating:

      1) Unknown number of "barbarians" settled south of the river Danube in 62 A.D. In the sources, their number is mentioned to be around 100,000 (most likely a 'number' that was conjured up, but nonetheless..). No details about ethnic origin of this population.

      2) In 268-270 A.D. a great number of Goths settled south of the river Danube. Many ended up being included in the Roman army.

      3) Around 273 A.D., Carpi settled in Scythia Minor province. Scholars have linked the Carpi to a variety of ethnic groups, including Sarmatians, Thracians, Germans, and Celts.

      4) In 275 A.D., a great number of Dacians settled south of the Danube.

      5) A few years later, 100,000 Bastarnae settled south of Danube. They were followed by Vandals, Gepids, and others.

      6) In 282 A.D., 20,000 Sarmatians settled south of Danube.

      7) 290 A.D., unknown number of Arabs settled in Thrace.

      8) Towards the end of the 290's A.D., additional groups of Carpi and Bastarnae settled south of Danube.

      9) 303 A.D., unknown tribe settled in Thrace.

      10) 334 A.D., 300,000 Sarmatians, Goths, Iazyges settled throughout Macedonia, Thrace, and Scythia Minor.

      11) New transplantation of Goths in 348 A.D.

          The regiment of Dzole Stojchev from Banica (Lerin) - from the Manaki brothers photo album taken in Bitola and Bitola region, period 1908-1910.



          На 11 март 1905 година здружените чети на Тане Стојчев и Sоле Стојчев имале судир со османлиските сили кај селото Жерви, при што Турците имале големи загуби. По Младотурската револуција станал легален и се вработил во локалната полиција. Потоа, најпрво учествувал во Сојуз на бугарски уставни клубови, а потоа во Народната федеративна партија. Ha еден митинг во Лерин, на 31 декември 1909 год. Ѕоле рекол:

          „Б р а ќ а, Треба да работиме за конституционализам, во тоа со Турците ние на дело да се побратимиме, за да ја завардиме територијалната целина на Македонија. Тој е нашиот спас. Инаку ние стануваме објект за освојување од надворешни грабачи, кои што бараат богатство во нашата богата земја — Македонија“`

            That is an amazing photo Carlin. I get goosebumps just looking at it. What a sight it must have been to have been lucky enough to have witnessed these heroic Macedonians ride into town like absolute legends.

            Sadly, this famous Macedonian spirit of old is hard to find these days.

The person on the right is Krste Londev from Neokazi, who became vojvoda of the Lerin district after Dzole was killed in 1909.

                        The city reappears in the sources during the Roman civil war that followed the assassination of Julius Caesar. His heirs Mark Antony and Octavian confronted the assassins of Caesar, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, at the Battle of Philippi on the plain to the west of the city during October in 42 BC. Antony and Octavian were victorious in this final battle against the partisans of the Republic. They released some of their veteran soldiers, probably from Legion XXVIII and colonized them in the city, which was refounded as Colonia Victrix Philippensium. In 30 BC, Octavian became Roman emperor, reorganized the colony, and established more settlers there, veterans possibly from the Praetorian Guard and other Italians. The city was renamed Colonia Iulia Philippensis, and then Colonia Augusta Iulia Philippensis after January, 27 BC, when Octavian received the title Augustus from the Roman Senate.

                        Following this second renaming, and perhaps after the first, the territory of Philippi was centuriated (divided into squares of land) and distributed to the colonists. The city kept its Macedonian walls, and its general plan was modified only partially by the construction of a forum, a little to the east of the site of Greek agora. It was a "miniature Rome," under the municipal law of Rome and governed by two military officers, the duumviri, who were appointed directly from Rome.

                        The colony recognized its dependence on the mines that brought it its privileged position on the Via Egnatia. This wealth was shown by the many monuments that were particularly imposing considering the relatively small size of the urban area: the forum, laid out in two terraces on both sides of the main road, was constructed in several phases between the reigns of Claudius and Antoninus Pius, and the theatre was enlarged and expanded in order to hold Roman games. There is an abundance of Latin inscriptions testifying to the prosperity of the city

                          The Iazyges were an ancient Sarmatian tribe that traveled westward in c. 200 BC from Central Asia to the steppes of what is now Ukraine.

                          In c. 44 BC, they moved into modern-day Hungary and Serbia near the Dacian steppe between the Danube and Tisza rivers, where they adopted a semi-sedentary lifestyle.

                            Weird, why would the Byzantine Empire resettle Slavs from around the Varder river to Gordoservon in Anatolia in the 7th century? Do you have the rest of page 195?

                              These two volumes cover the entire period of Macedonia’s written history. Volume 1 moves from the Temenid kingdom in the Fifth Century BC, through Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian rule, to the overthrow of Christian rule by the Ottoman Turks.Many of the highlights in ancient Macedonian history were created by King Philip II and his son Alexander, and by the struggles of the Antigonid regime to withstand the ambitions of the Romans. High points in the Byzantine rule were achieved under Emperor Justinian in the 6th Century, and again under Basil II in the 11th.Geography made Macedonia a transit territory for the Crusades, but their passage was marked nevertheless by wanton brutality. By the beginning of the 13th Century, Byzantine power had passed its apogee, and it suffered the sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade. The ensuing establishment of the Latin Empire exposed Macedonia to repeated rounds of devastation by Latin, Bulgarian and Greek warlords. Despite the recovery of Constantinople by Michael Palaeologus, the much-weakened Byzantine Empire could no longer withstand its foes. Despite the transient displacement of Greek power by Serbian rule, Macedonia was destined to succumb to the Ottomans.The emphasis in Volume 1 is weighted geographically towards Aegean Macedonia – northwestern Greece – where the ancient kingdom was rooted. Vardar Macedonia – the lands that now comprise the Macedonian Republic – only emerged as a civilised historical entity during the Middle Ages. This voyage through history not only documents the Macedonian past, but also discovers its cultural heritage. This includes the mosaics and sculptures of the Alexandrine era, and its Christian churches, for Christianity left its indelible mark on Macedonian civilisation. The book follows the emergence of early Christianity from the time of St. Paul, but gives emphasis to the artistic culture of late antiquity. A further chapter is devoted to Orthodox mysticism and its fourteenth century role in the creation of the secret churches in the lakes of Ohrid and Prespa. Another charts the strange history of Athos, Macedonia’s Holy Mountain peninsula, in its formative period.

                                Thanks. But I find it pretty unbelievable that the land was abandoned.
