    The Helleno-Vlachs are initially called Romaioi, then Romanoi, which is preserved in the form of the Armanoi, as they call themselves today, and reminiscent of the term Armania, used by the "Hellenes" of Byzantine times for the name of their country, according to the revelation of the Russian Byzantinologist A. Vasiliev.

    Post#16 is not a progress for this thread. This is another anonymous blogger who mentions what Vasiliev wrote. We're still waiting to see Vasiliev's claims, sources or arguments, or... anything actually.

    Try to do that, and don't post twenty more links repeating Vasiliev's opinion.

    Who knows? I can’t find anything in Greece. If not, we have just lost our time again.

    "Στο εξής χωρίο διηγήσεως περί της Αγίας Σοφίας (18ος αιώνας), το όνομα Ρουμανία ίσως αναφέρεται στην Πελοπόννησο: "τας λοιπάς κολώνας (της Αγ. Σοφίας) έφεραν από τας Κυκλάδας νήσους και χώρας, από την Κύζικον, από την Τρωάδα, από την Κρήτην, από την Ρουμανίαν, από την Σάμον, από την Χίον, από την Κύπρον, από την Ρόδον και απλώς ειπείν από όλα τα νησιά" (A. Delette, Anecdota Atheniensia, τομ. 1, σ. 301)"

    "In the following verse on St. Sophia (18th century), the name of Roumania may be mentioned in the Peloponnese: "the other columns (of St. Sophia) brought from the Cycladic islands and country, from Kyzikos, from Troad, from Crete, from Roumania, from Samos, from Chios, from Cyprus, from Rhodes, and simply from all the islands" (A. Delette, Anecdota Atheniensia, vol. 1, p. 301)

    I certainly do, but I wouldn't hurry to blame Vasiliev as we haven't seen his famous phrase or source yet. Did you really believe that a Russian out of nowhere in 1905 would produce an information that is ABOUT Greece and is yet (for some reason) totally unknown in Greece?

    Your other thread was deleted and this one was merged with an earlier one on the same topic created by Carlin.

    The title of this thread is interesting, and I have already contributed to this topic in several/different previous threads.

    Namely:

    I have edited/removed some sentences and paragraphs. http://www.freeinquiry.gr/pro.php?id=2793&PHPSESSID=1a2502900037c680062f04c9715f5254 The formal education of the current Greek state presents a warped image of Asia Minor, in which the region everything was supposedly Greek and those who were/are "barbarians&quo

    Konstantinija is correct name for the Tsars City Constantinople is fake and invited ( guesses are 19th cent.) therm as well after Konstantinia has been renamed as Islam bool . Holly macaroni lets read some more nonsense : Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινο&


    In Summary:
    - In the middle ages, "Greece" and/or the entirety of what was known as "Byzantium" was called ARMANIA / ROMANIA by its inhabitants. I have provided documented evidence for this.
    - Speaking of Byzantium -- the following is my copy and paste:

    An epigram in celebration of Porphyrius' role in overthrowing a usurper calls the Constantinopolitans Ausonians. The usage Ausonia = Byzantium became popular in the 12th century ("children of Ausonia" was used to describe contemporary Byzantines). Indeed, it appears certain from the sources that the "Byzantines" regularly called themselves Ausones, which was an ancient name for the original inhabitants of Italy. This was the standard "classicizing" name that the Byzantines used for themselves.

    (As always, for the above, I can provide full sources; they are basically from the following authors: Elizabeth A. Fisher, Philip Rousseau, Anthony Kaldellis.)

    - Last but not least I have provided ample evidence of many other little known historical and ethnographic facts which can be found throughout the forum threads.

    PS: What caught my eye above is the claim that the entire Asia Minor (with some exceptions) spoke the same language as the "Thracians and Scythians". That's rather curious -- I saw many months ago (I forget the source unfortunately) that the shepherds (whatever language they spoke) of Asia Minor, in some pockets/areas of Asia Minor or modern Turkey, used to be called Romana until not long ago.

    Yesterday I discussed a weird local Romanian fringe claim about Black Knights and the Force of Neutrality that seems to have originated with Romanian politician Codrin Ştefănescu, who attributes it...

    The cradle of the white race was located in that bowl called Pontus (the Black Sea of today) and a great civilization existed before the Great Flood. Their language reached its highest peak before the flood and after that it degraded into the languages of today. Greek and Latin reached high points, but never got close to the height of the Atlantis people’s language. Romanian is closer than any other to the original language, because those people never left the land. I prove in this book that Latin descended from Romanian and not the other way around. Romanian is a highly deteriorated form of the original Pontic language (I call the White Race “Pontic” and their language as well), but one can still connect the words way back; I even managed to reach the very first words. Only with the Romanian language is that possible, and if I hadn’t known the language to the extent that I do, this book would never have been written.
