Abstract:
This octoral thesis deals with the history of the Paionian people. The Paionian people lived in ancient times between the basins of the rivers Axios and Strymon. This people was formed by different tribes, called Agrianes, Derrones, Doberes, Laeaei, Paionians, Paioplae and Siriopaionians, documented in Greek and Roman textual sources and in the Paionian numismatics. In present times, the territory of Paeonia is divided between the states of Macedonia, Bulgaria and Greece. The main objective of this doctoral is to collect, classify, translate and comment on the textual sources (literary and epigraphic) in Latin and Greek on the Paionian people, as well as the numismatic of the Paionian tribes, and thus learn more about the history of this people. The methodology of this thesis has followed a method of chronological work in literary, epigraphic and numismatic sources. The thesis has the format of a compendium of articles, previously published in several scientific journals, to which is added and archaeological overwiew, a corpus of textual sources and an updated bibliography. After an introduction in chapter, the second chapter develops an overwiew of the archaeology of the Paionian people, which includes three themes: historical Paionian towns, the numismatics of Paionian tribes and the Greek epigraphic texts containing information on the history of Paionians. The third chapter is made up of seven articles, which develop the history of the Paionian people and constitute the fundamental part of this thesis. This chapter begins with a general article on the history of the Paionian people, followed by an article about their origin. The rest of the articles deal with various topics concerning the history of the Paionians (first news of their history, Paionian tribes and disappearance of this people). The fourth chapter, contains the final conclusions, and in the fifth, the Corpus of textual sources on the Paionian people is collected (Greek and Roman literary and epigraphic sources and the numismatic inscriptions of the Paionian tribes). This thesis ends with a bibliography and a thematic index.
