What Made The Byzantine Empire 'Greek"???

[TerraNova]

Did they really??



As you can see, for the Westerners who you say knew to distinguish between Servi, Bulgari Romii etc.

They knew who the Thracians, Mesians, Macedonians were, and for them everything on the Balkan south of Danube was Greca land, inhabitet by Greeks.

Why would this be so??? Could they really distinguish???

Or is it cause the Orthodox faith that they were Greeks.

Cause if Thracians are Greeks, than the Macedonians,Serbian and Bulgarians are certainly Greeks too....

I didn't say for the westerns-they saw Orthodox the same,Muslims the same.
(as Greeks also called Westerns "Frangi"=Franks ,cause they were putting all Catholics in the same more or less category)

I say for the Greeks themselves.

I know about two songs speaking about Alexander ,who where proven Sofia's fabrications.

And your Constantinopol Song is the real thing

Only one song. There are at least dozens.

By the way, Sofians claim thta it is a Serbian fabrications... Which is to be???

Typical balkan bull

[Risto the Great]

Not really you call it "Solun" or smthing.

Greeks called it (thes)Saloniki-the original name.

Saloniki it's just abbreviation of Thes-saloniki.
Like Poli is abbreviation of Constantinou-poli.

Thessaloniki (a while) - Solun (1500 years) - Salonika (100 years) - Thessaloniki (again!).

So what did the Ladino Jews (you know, the ones who owned Solun for centuries whom you burnt out of Solun) call it?

Solun 1500 years?
Drunk any rakija Risto?

Your people failed miserably to take over the city several times...
Since we have official data,or estimations slavic-speaking people were a small minority and were described as Bulgarians.

So you can also Constantinopolis/Istanbul ..."Tsarigrad" ..but this doesn't make it "Tsarigrad" for 1500 years.

[Risto the Great]

Yeah sure Solun 1500 years.
You forget the dominant race in the region for 1500 years.

And doesn't a retrogressive step like renaming Solun as Thessaloniki smack of delusion.

What else did you burn out of Solun when you burnt out the Jews?

I love how you say "Your people" when in fact I am positive that Slavic blood course more through your veins than in ours in this forum!
Remember what I have told you once before Terrable Nova,,,arrogance is the downfall of the modern "greek".

Renaming Solun..

ancient Inscription.
ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ



Seal of the Governor of Thessaloniki 12th-15th century.
Greek abbreviation- ΘCΝΚ.


(As for the burning of Jews...it was Nazi,the ones you welcomed ,the ones who Greeks fought at the Bulgarian borders,at the battle of Crete ,and the following 4 years ,costing hundreds of thousands of killed people.)


So Solun lives only in your Grandma's fairy-tails.
Don't forget that in 1912 ,slavic-speaking people in Thessaloniki were 6.000 out of 165.000 ,.....3,6% ... and they were identified as BULGARIANS.
Like it or not.

[makedonin]

Definitly term forced by the Patriarchists....... Or maybe it was your fans of PAOK

Please explaine what a statue base for the statue of Queen Thessaloniki, has to be proof of the name of the city?

It's a 2nd BC artifact ,found in the Agora of Thessaloniki. I mean...the ancient Solun...

again, what kind of proof does this statue base have in regards to the name of the city????? What it does prove is that the statue that stood on it was a statue of Queen Thessaloniki Filippou(of Filip). Nothing else so please stop your nonsense propaganda.

Yes,it's queen Thessaloniki,and her statue standing in the city named Thessaloniki.

But..wait a second....does anyone in here believe that during antiquity there was another name for the city ??

[Risto the Great]

I believe that during antiquity there were many antique names that changed over time to reflect the changing nature of the populations over thousands of years.

I also believe Greece has a habit of trying to change them back. Often.

[Dejan]

the ancient inscription looks fake
what does a statue of a queen have to do with a name of a city?
