Mesia

De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Ubicación de Mesia en el Imperio romano.

Mapa de los antiguos Balcanes romanos en el siglo IV.Mesia (Moesia en latín; Μοισία, Moisia en griego; Мизия, Miziya en búlgaro; Moesia en rumano; Мезија, Mezija en serbio) era una provincia del Imperio romano, correspondiente a las regiones ribereñas con el Danubio de los actuales Estados de Serbia y Bulgaria.

Fue conquistada en el año 28 a. C. por las legiones de Octavio, quien al año siguiente (27 a. C.) fue nombrado Augusto y proclamado emperador.

Durante la reorganización provincial realizada por Diocleciano (284-305), Mesia fue dividida en Mesia I (o Moesia Margensis, al Oeste) y Mesia II (o Moesia Inferior, al Este), además de una provincia situada justo en medio llamada Dacia. Esta última región no corresponde a la Dacia conquistada por Trajano (98-117), sino que fue nombrada así tras el abandono de esa provincia por Aureliano (270-275), y en ella se asentaron los colonos de la Dacia abandonada.

Posteriormente, a raíz de la desastrosa derrota romana en Adrianópolis (378), gran parte de la Mesia, además de las provincias balcánicas y griegas, sufrirían la devastación a manos de los visigodos, principalmente. Durante la primera mitad del siglo V de nuestra era, fueron los hunos (bajo el mando de diferentes reyes) quienes hicieronn continuas incursiones en busca de botín en la Mesia, teniendo el Imperio Oriental que rendirles tributo.

Finalmente, la Mesia sufriría las oleadas invasoras de serbios y, sobre todo, búlgaros durante el siglo VII, perdiéndose para siempre para los bizantinos o romanos de Oriente.

En la actualidad, Mesia ("Miziya", en búlgaro) es el nombre de uno de los barrios de la ciudad de Pleven, Bulgaria.

Location of Moesia in the Roman Empire.

Map of the ancient Roman Balkans in the 4th century.Mesia (Moesia in Latin; Μοισία, Moisia in Greek; Мизия, Miziya in Bulgarian; Moesia in Romanian; Мезија, Mezija in Serbian) was a province of the Roman Empire, corresponding to the regions bordering the Danube of the current States of Serbia and Bulgaria.

It was conquered in the year 28 BC. C. by the legions of Octavian, who the following year (27 BC) was named Augustus and proclaimed emperor.

During the provincial reorganization carried out by Diocletian (284-305), Moesia was divided into Moesia I (or Moesia Margensis, to the west) and Moesia II (or Moesia Inferior, to the east), plus a province located right in the middle called Dacia. This last region does not correspond to the Dacia conquered by Trajan (98-117), but was named after the abandonment of that province by Aurelian (270-275), and the colonists of the abandoned Dacia settled there.

Later, following the disastrous Roman defeat at Adrianople (378), much of Moesia, in addition to the Balkan and Greek provinces, would suffer devastation at the hands of the Visigoths, mainly. During the first half of the 5th century AD, it was the Huns (under the command of different kings) who made continuous raids in search of loot in Moesia, with the Eastern Empire having to pay tribute to them.

Finally, Moesia would suffer the invading waves of Serbs and, above all, Bulgarians during the 7th century, being lost forever to the Byzantines or Eastern Romans.

Today, Mesia ("Miziya" in Bulgarian) is the name of one of the neighborhoods in the city of Pleven, Bulgaria.

The Roman province of Moesia, mainly modern day Bulgaria and Serbia, was a stretch of mountainous terrain in the west and more fertile plains in the east. It bordered Macedonia and Thracia to the south, the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus) to the east and shared the Danube as a border with Dacia in the North.

277. LIV. The kings [of the Suavi], Hunimund and Alaric, fearing the destruction that had come upon the Sciri, next made war upon the Goths, relying upon the aid of the Sarmatians, who had come to them as auxili- aries with their kings Beuca and Babai. They summoned the last remnants of the Sciri, with Edica and Hunuulf, their chieftains, thinking they would fight the more des- perately to avenge themselves. They had on their side the Gepidae also, as well as no small reenforcements from the race of the Rugi and from others gathered here and there. Thus they brought together a great host at
278 the river Bolia in Pannonia and encamped there.
