Thrace, Troy and Anatolia. Troy and its contacts to the Balkans - FULLTEXT (original) (raw)
Съществена част от сведенията на Тит Ливий от Патавия (59 г. пр. Хр. -17 г. сл. Хр.) за Тракия и траките отдавна са познати и изследвани в българската научна книжнина. 1 Информацията, която съвременникът на Октавиан Август дава за първите военни конфликти на римляните на Балканите и началото на римското завоевание в Тракия едва ли може да бъде пренебрегната. Фрагментарният характер на запазените текстове на латинските автори от ІІ в. пр. Хр., загубите на големи части от текста на Полибий, представянето на римската гледна точка към събитията са само част от причините, които превръщат изложението на Ливий не само в наличен, но и в търсен, необходим исторически извор.

Thrace and the Roman Allies on the Balkans through the First Macedonian war (215 – 205 B.C.): This paper examines all available information about the place of Thrace and the Thracians in the first military collision between Rome and Macedonia. The fragmentary and incomplete nature of the sources is emphasized. This is due to the fact that the Balkan theater of operations remained in the shadow of those against Hannibal in Italy; by that reason only fragmentary informationrelated mostly to the Maedianshad survived. Upon careful reading of the ancient texts an incoordination between the Maedians and the Roman allies is observed, which rejects the assumption for their participation in the Anti-Macedonian coalition. Their clashes with Philip V are explained as traditional contradictions along the borders of the Macedonian kingdom.
Die Reihe "Universitätsforschungen zur prähistorischen Archäologie" trägt dem Bedürfnis Rechnung, Examensarbeiten und andere Forschungsleistungen in die Öffentlichkeit zu tragen. Thematisch findet darin die ganze Breite des Faches vom Paläolithikum bis zur Archäologie der Neuzeit ihren Platz. Ursprünglich hatten sich fünf Universitätsinstitute in Deutschland zur Herausgabe der Reihe zusammengefunden, der Kreis ist inzwischen deutlich größer geworden. Alle interessierten Professoren und Dozenten sind einge-laden, als Mitherausgeber tätig zu werden und Arbeiten aus ihrem Bereich der Reihe zukommen zu lassen. Für die einzelnen Bände zeichnen jeweils die Autoren und Institute ihrer Herkunft, die im Titel deutlich gekennzeichnet sind, verantwortlich. Sie erstellen eine druckfertig gestaltete Datei (PDF). Bei gleicher Anordnung des Umschlages haben die verschiedenen beteiligten Universitäten jeweils eine spezifische Farbe. Finanzierung und Druck erfolgen entweder durch sie selbst oder durch den Verlag Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, der in jedem Fall den Vertrieb der Ad multos annos, Magister carissime!
Troy History: LIBER XIII. The Expedition of Achilles and Thelephus to Messa
The Liber XIII of the Guido’ Troy History gives the link between Hercules which was lifeless in the time of Priam’s Troy, according the world chronicles, and the Agamemnon’ s leadership. The son of Hercules named Thelephus was the warriors of the Greek army. I research the Achilles’ and Thelephus’ expedition to Messa, and the catalogue of the Trojan allies.

The Hero in Thrace, or the Thracian Transition to Divinity (in Bulgarian)
Seminarium Thracicum, 8, 2024
The Hero in Thrace, or the Thracian Transition to Divinity The aim of the presented text is to discuss in general the structure of the Thracian Pantheon, if there was a common idea about it at all, and the stages between mortal men and immortal gods. The Greek world, and the knowledge we have about Greek gods and heroes, were compared to the scanty facts on Thracian divine reality. The question was: were there Thracian heroes and what was their function in the religious practice? And the answer could be summarised in a few words: – The Greek observers mentioned many such outstanding figures among the Thracians, their strange customs and beliefs in immortality, but the question is about the facts: were they seen or known personally, were they copied from earlier writers, or were they just a public notion of the Greeks about their Thracian neighbours? All of them were members of the ruling elite, rulers and royal kingsmen; – They believed in their uniqueness to communicate with gods during their lifetime, as well as after; – They believed in their psychosomatic immortality, in blissful existence after death, not in the beyond where the shadows were, but somewhere in the periphery of the oikoumene, where their distant tombs were. The sepulchre was their home for all their needs in everlasting banquets – the kline on which they were laid, and the table with fine and precious tableware; they were dressed as warriors and riders with costly weapons and thoroughbred horses laid nearby. This could suggest an idea about their activity in hunting, for instance, and in cult performances. So the sepulchre was their heroon as well, and the traces of rituals in front of the tomb’s door could result from the ‘rites of passage.’ And when the door was covered with earth, the rituals took place in the tumulus itself, the traces of votive gifts with meals and libations were the remains from communications between the worlds.
I give the illustrations of the truce after the sixth battle in my present paper. The sources of my presentation are the Latin text of Guido de Columnis Historia Destructionis Troiae, book XVIIII, and the corresponding Russian illuminated text from the Old Russian Corpus of World History. Liber XVIIII is divided on the ten glosses according the Russian ten illustrations.
