John I Tzimiskes and Basil II
The text analyzes different methods and principles implemented by emperors John I Tzimiskes and Basil II during the pacification and integration of the Balkans into the Byzantine political and legal framework. Modern historians agree that Basil?s approach proved more effective in dismantling the Bulgarian state and reoccupying the Balkans, but the contemporary intellectual elite seems to have had a different view of the strategies those two emper…
The peculiarities of the Byzantine provincial administration in the Balkans under the Komnenoi
The text presents the results of the research on the Byzantine provincial organization in the parts of the Balkans that the Empire directly controlled during the Komnenian era. The non-uniform historical and political evolution of some regions of the Balkan Peninsula called for different methods to be employed by the Constantinopolitan court when organizing the local provincial administration, leading to a differentiation among the Balkan themes.…
The role of dignitaries of lower-rank thematic units in Byzantine society
The paper aims to elucidate the place and role, i.e., the real power of functionaries of lower-ranking units in the Byzantine theme system. Their status in the Byzantine bureaucratic and aristocratic society was essentially determined by honorary dignities and by their place in the commanding staff, which was accompanied by precisely defined powers in the army and administration. Military powers or, more specifically, access to military resources…
A hypothesis about the origin and administrative status of the Vardariōtai in the Byzantine empire
The paper presents the results of research on some segments in the history of the Vardari?tai. Starting from the generally accepted premise of their Hungarian roots, the author attempts to answer the questions of when and how the Vardari?tai made their way to the Byzantine Empire. The text also proposes a hypothesis about the evolution of the administrative status of the Vardariote community in the Empire from the early 10th century (the first re…
On the status of the Vlachs of Hellas in the theme system
The paper analyzes the military-administrative position of the Vlachs of Hellas in the thematic organization of the Byzantine Empire. Two of their leaders - Nikoulitzas and the archōn Sthlabōtas Karmalakēs - are mentioned by Kekaumenos in his text. Although there is no surviving testimony about the administrative rank of the unit composed of the Vlachs of Hellas, an analysis of the information provided in sources of various provenances indicates …
The settlement of the Mardaites and their military-administrative position in the themata of the West
The paper discusses questions about the chronology of the settlement of Mardaite soldiers in the Balkans and their military-administrative position in the themata of the West: Peloponnesus, Cephalonia and Nicopolis. It presents arguments in favor of the hypothesis of the Mardaite settlement in Peloponnesus as the result of the colonization policy of Nicepho?rus I in the early 9th century. This view largely rests on information contained in the Ch…
The reform of Byzantine military and territorial organization under Justinian II
This paper offers a contribution to the research of the initial stages in the evolution of the thematic system. It focuses on the role of Emperor Justinian II in the formation of the new imperial military and territorial organization. Byzantine scholars have determined a long time ago that it is Justinian II who should be credited with the founding of new military districts (themes) in Hellas and Sicily. This paper, however, suggests that the for…

Merarches in the thematic organization (9th-12th centuries)
The text cites the results of the study of the role of merarches, which were a part of the military organization of the Empire in the early Byzantine period. Later historical documents do not give any notion of this position for more than two centuries. The merarches became a part of the thematic organization in the middle of 9th century. Our ability to fully understand the nature of their function is limited due to the scarcity of source materia…
The Slavs and Vlachs in the Byzantine system of provincial organization in the Southern Balkans until the XI century
The paper is devoted to establishing the circumstances and manner under which the Slav tribes and Vlachs in the southern Balkans were being integrated into the Byzantine system of provincial administration. Constantinople militarily imposed sovereignty on the settled Slavs, which was the first step towards their integration into the Byzantine state and society. When it comes to Vlachs, there was no use of military force. Special methods were appl…
