Being the European hinterland of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine empire for more than thousand years, the region was one of the most significant landscapes in the Eastern Mediterranean. Bordering on the Aegean in the west, the Sea of Marmara in the south and the Black Sea in the east, the area is exposed to different climatic influences and shows a notable regional variety. Prominent places of Eastern Thrace are Constantinople with its suburbs and the Bosphorus, Mount Ganos the "holy mountain" (Işıklar Dağı), the peninsula of Chersonēsos and the Istranca mountain with its numerous nameless fortresses. The introduction of the volume deals with geography and climate, with history, traffic-routes and economy. Furthermore, an alphabetical catalogue offers more than 700 entries of settlements, place-names, fortresses, churches etc. from late Antiquity and Byzantine times; it was composed by using GIS, written, archaeological and toponymical sources. The main map of Eastern Thrace is drawn to a scale of 1:800,000, a more detailed map shows the Golden Horn and the European shore of the Bosphorus to a scale of 1:100,000.

Several sessions at the ISBL held in Vienna in 2014 on built the basis of this volume. The wide range of source materials of this volume—from manuscripts and military handbooks to lead seals and pilgrim guides—allows insights into a vivid liturgical tradition, which shapes Orthodox Christianity up today. The volume shows the multitude of strategies for the engagement with the Biblical text and the manifold ways in which the Bible message was experienced, articulated and brought to life on a daily basis.

It is a very active and innovative scholarly endeavour and at the same time a keeper of TIB data sets (slides, photographs etc.), which are of remarkable importance for the Cultural Heritage of the Mediterranean World. Therefore, the entire TIB team (the active and the emeriti scholars) has prepared an edited volume in German entitled "Raum und Geschichte: der historische Atlas 'Tabula Imperii Byzantini (TIB)' an der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften". It was published in July 2020 by the editors Andreas Külzer, Veronika Polloczek, Mihailo St. Popović and Johannes Koder as volume 3 of the series "Studies in Historical Geography and Cultural Heritage" at the publishing house Akademska Knjiga (Novi Sad, Serbia). The aim of this publication is to introduce especially to an Austrian audience the history, scholarly results, future ideas and plans and contribution to national as well as international academia of the TIB, since the TIB is an integral part of Austrian scholarship funded by the Austrian society. Although Historical Geography is a very specialised branch of Byzantine Studies, we do believe that the existence of such a project in Austria and its documentation will meet public interest and awareness.

Grounded both on systematic fieldwork and detailed surveys of the monuments, this book is the first comprehensive study of the eremitical and monastic landscapes of the region. It investigates the interactions of isolated hermits and established communities, the relationships of large monasteries to smaller foundations, and the interweaving of monastic and rural economies. It aims at identifying the monks themselves, their preoccupations and aspirations, which are reflected not only by the choice of the patron saints of the holy places they founded or the content of the painted decoration but also by the choice of location or a deep relationship with natural elements of the landscape.

Wissenschaftliche Projekte an der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften haben eine lange Tradition darin, einen Beitrag in der Erforschung des Kulturerbes zu leisten. Unter ihnen ist das ÖAW Langzeitprojekt Tabula Imperii Byzantini (TIB) zu nennen, das einen historischen Atlas des Byzantinischen Reiches unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Balkanhalbinsel und Kleinasiens erarbeitet. Auf Bereisungen wurden seit 1966 Denkmäler und deren (damaliger) aktueller Zustand mittels Dias dokumentiert. Diese einzigartige Sammlung von byzantinischen Denkmälern ist ein reichhaltiges Kulturgut und ein Angelpunkt zukünftiger Forschungsarbeit. Das Ziel des vom Jubiläumsfonds der Österreichischen Nationalbank geförderten Projektes mit der Nummer 17771 besteht darin, drei Fallstudien mit ihren Denkmälern [nämlich „Kilikien und Isaurien“ (TIB 5); „Ostthrakien (Europe)“ (TIB 12); „Makedonien, nördlicher Teil“ (TIB 16)] zu behandeln, um sie sorgfältig durch das Prisma des Kulturerbes (vorher – nachher Zustand) zu betrachten. Diese Fallstudien wurden wegen der komplexen politisch-militärischen Lage im Nahen Osten mit den Auswirkungen auf die Denkmäler in situ (TIB 5) gewählt und weil sie Gebiete umfassen, deren Infrastrukturen sich rasch mit nachhaltigen Folgen für die Landschaften der Vergangenheit und für die jeweiligen Denkmäler (TIB 12 und TIB 16) entwickeln. Durch die drei Fallstudien werden ein strukturierter und effizienter Workflow sowie eine Best Practice auf diesem Gebiet der Historischen Geographie und der Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften geschaffen. Dieser wissenschaftliche Vortrag im Rahmen der DPP Lecture Series wird zu Beginn des betreffenden Projektes im März 2018 einen ersten Einblick in selbiges geben.

Seasides of Byzantium: harbours and anchorages of a Mediterranean Empire
Date: 29 May -1 June 2017
Venue: National Hellenic Research Foundation, 48 Vassileos Constantinou Ave., 11635 Athens, Greece
The study of maritime installations and networks in the Roman and Byzantine Mediterranean has found increased interest in the last years as becomes manifest in various projects and publications. The major DFG-funded Special Research Programme (SPP-1630) “Harbours from the Roman Period to the Middle Ages” with its interdisciplinary approach constitutes one core element of this development (http://www.spp-haefen.de/en/home/). Within the framework of the SPP-1630 and its project “Harbours and landing places on the Balkan coasts of the Byzantine Empire (4th to 12th centuries)” (http://www.spp-haefen.de/en/projects/byzantine-harbours-on-the-balkan-coasts/), the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (RGZM) in Mainz (http://web.rgzm.de/) and the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF/IHR) in Athens (http://www.eie.gr/nhrf/institutes/ihr/index-en_IHR.html) have established a cooperation for joint research on harbours in Byzantine Greece and the creation of a common data base.
Against this background, the conference “Seasides of Byzantium” intends to set these activities within the wider context of research on the Byzantine Empire as phenomenon of maritime history. Scholars present new material and new approaches based on historical or archaeological evidence which illuminate the scale, shapes and functions of Byzantine harbours and anchorages in their temporal and spatial dynamics across the Mediterranean. Furthermore, also the connections of these places across the sea and to their hinterlands are taken into consideration. The conference schedule includes one day of arrival and opening, two days of presentation and discussion and one day of excursion to relevant archaeological sites near Athens. For invited participants, costs for travel and accommodation are covered by the organisers. Besides, a wider audience is welcome to listen to the presentations.

This workshop is taking place as part of the project "The Thracian harbour-city Ainos", supported by the Priority Research Programme 1630 of the German Research Foundation (SPP 1630, DFG). Its focus is the history and archaeology of the Thracian Sea (Mare Thracium) from the west part of Chalkidiki to the east side of the Thracian Chersonese including the islands of Thasos, Samothrace and Imbros. Due to the modern geographical borders, the Thracian Sea has been seldom approached as an entity. Already in Antiquity, the economic importance of this region has been profound with minerals, viniculture and a very fruitful hinterland highly contributing to the local production. At the surrounding coasts and the islands of the Thracian Sea numerous harbour-cities have been founded and thrived, their history extending from the Archaic time up to the Byzantine period.
