Sclavinias (Serbian Cyrillic: Склавиније) were nominally Byzantine territories of Balkans which were populated and governed by Slavs between 7th and 9th century but without organizational structure of a state.[1] In this period term Macedonia was replaced with term Sclavinias.[2]
Sclavinia was term used in the 8th century for the territory populated by Slavic people in Byzantine empire but without real influence of imperial authority.[3] Initially, when Slavs began populating Balkan territories of Byzantine Empire they were all recognized as Slavs while Croats and Serbs began to be recognized as independent groups around 630.[4]
Background
[edit]
Since the end of 5th century Slavs penetrated the territory of what is today known as Friuli, Dalmatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Thessaly, Albania and Greece.[5][6] One century later, the Byzantine emperor Justinian II encouraged them to continue to settle Byzantine territories.[7] The Slavs easily assimilated the older population of Illyrians, Romans, Goths, and others because of mostly egalitarian peasant warrior Slavic social order, while in Greece they were Hellenized.[8] Although they did not capture the main cities, they populated these territories to such extent that starting in the 8th century the southern Balkans was known as "Sclavinia".[9]
Sclavinias in Macedonia
[edit]The Sclavinias in Macedonia were formed since the end of 6th century.[10] In the first decades of their existence they were nominally under suzerainty of the Byzantine Empire, while they were actually independently governed by their own leaders and constantly attacking Thesaloniki.[11] In 658 Byzantine emperor Constantin II led the first successful attack on Sclavinias which attacked Thesaloniki, defeated their forces and enslaved numerous Slavs.[12] For a short time Sclavinias in Macedonia were under real Byzantine suzerainty until Perbundos, leader of Rhynchinoi, joined all neighbouring Sclavinias with intention to capture Thesaloniki.[13]
Sclavinias in Albania
[edit]The ethnic structure of Albania in the first centuries after Slavs colonized it is unknown.[14]
