Paschalis Paschidis

I have been woking at the Northern Greece Programme of KERA (now Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity of the Institute of Historical Research) at the National Hellenic Research Foundation since 1995 (as a researcher since 2006).

My research interests are the Greek and Latin epigraphy of Macedonia, Hellenistic history, on Hellenistic and Roman institutions and politics and the construction of ancient ethnic, cultural and political identities.

I have worked extensively on the epigraphical collections of my Institute, among other things on the collection, archiving, elaboration, interpretation and publication of epigraphic sources (field missions, photography, squeeze taking, transcription, composition of epigraphic lemmata, archiving and digitization, organization of large corpora and its documentary evidence, historical commentary, publication).

I have also collaborated extensively in the redaction of proposals for projects with external funding, as well as in their managerial, technical, and scientific supervision.

I have taught introductory lessons in epigraphy at the University of Athens (2003-2005) and the course "Institutions of the Macedonian Kingdom" at the MA Programme "The Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia". I have been a member of the jury judging PhD theses (2011), a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Tekmeria (2012-2015) and a collaborator in various projects of other institutions, including the Copenhagen Associations Project and the Ionian University.

Hatzopoulos, former Director of the Centre for Greek and Roman Antiquity of the National Hellenic Research Foundation – currently Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity of the Institute of Historical Research/NHRF. The twenty-nine contributions collected in this volume have been authored by experts in the major disciplines of Classical Studies, focusing on the geographical area to which the honourand himself has primarily devoted his intellect, namely the northern Greek ‘continuum’ of Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia and Thrace. Either venturing synthetic approaches or answers to more specific questions, authors in this volume are concerned with vital aspects of the organization of the ancient societies of the Greek North and, consequently, of our own understanding of these societies: language and onomastics; politics, institutions, economy; material culture and religion.

Οι πτυχές της ξεδιπλώνονται μέσα από επιστημονικά συνέδρια, όπου ειδικοί επιστήμονες παρουσιάζουν τη δουλειά τους ζωντανεύοντας το παρελθόν και αναπαριστώντας τη ζωή των ανθρώπων που έζησαν εδώ πριν από μας.

New sources, principally epigraphic, and recent research carried out by M. B. Hatzopoulos and others 1 on the subject, however, allows me to give here only a brief -and, inevitably, misleadingly simple -overview of what these institutions were. After a process which begun under Philip II, the Macedonian kingdom seems to have been systematically and probably exhaustively (with the important exception of royal land), subdivided into local civic units, be they poleis, sympolities, or 'regions' of ethnic origin 2 . By the Antigonid period, when we have sufficient evidence for these civic units, they seem to possess all the institutional apparel of a southern Greek polis : an internationally acknowledged identity, annual elected archons, a local priest as eponymous, a council, an assembly, local legislation and courts, distinct finances etc. As constitutive parts of the Macedonian State, however, Macedonian cities had two differences of seminal importance in comparison with their southern counterparts : 1) they had no autonomy in many important matters which were perceived to belong to the jurisdiction of the central government, and 2) their chief magistrates were accountable not only to the civic unit itself but also to the Head of State, the king.
