  • Какво е Византия | разговор с проф. Пламен Павлов

    2 days ago

    Какво е Византия | разговор с проф. Пламен Павлов

    Няма средновековна България без Византия. Тя е съседът, с когото воюваме, но и от когото приемаме християнството, писмеността, изкуството и самия модел на държавност. Нещо повече – голяма част от това, което изобщо знаем за собственото си минало, идва от перата на византийските историци. Без тях първите векове на нашата държава щяха да тънат в мрак.Гост е проф. Пламен Павлов – един от най-обичаните от публиката историци и дългогодишен преподавател по история на Византия и Балканите, голям приятел на екипа.По подобие на рубриката „Религия 101", този епизод е входно ниво за Византия. Как и защо се ражда Източната Римска империя, защо я наричаме „Византия", а самите ѝ жители са се наричали ромеи (римляни); на какво се крепят силата и дълголетието ѝ в продължение на хиляда години; каква е ролята на императора – „божият помазаник" и автократор; как функционират църквата, администрацията и данъчната система; и защо, въпреки всички войни, тя остава за България не просто враг, а цивилизационен модел и извор на „България след България".Желаем Ви приятно слушане!

  • Готите – народът, който уби двама римски императори по нашите земи | гостува доц. Тодор Чобанов

    29 Oct

    Готите – народът, който уби двама римски императори по нашите земи | гостува доц. Тодор Чобанов

    В шведския град Упсала се пази една от най-скъпоценните книги на света – Сребърната библия. Езикът ѝ е мъртъв, а азбуката ѝ е създадена от епископ, който живее и пише по нашите земи. Народът, на чийто език е написана тази книга, убива един римски император в блатата край Разград, втори – край Адрианопол, превзема Рим и създава първите кралства върху руините на империята, от Италия до Испания. Това са готите.Гост е доц. Тодор Чобанов – археолог, преподавател и изследовател на ранното средновековие, който ръководи първото в света палеогеномно проучване на готите, проведено съвместно с екипа на проф. Дейвид Райх от Харвард.Разговорът съчетава голямата история с най-новата наука. От една страна – възходът на готите като „кошмар за Рим": как убиват император Деций при Абритус, как разгромяват Валент при Адрианопол през 378 г., как Аларих превзема Рим и как Теодорих изгражда своето кралство. От друга – какво разкрива ДНК анализът за произхода им, за връзката със Скандинавия и за тясното преплитане между ранната история на готите и тази на българите по тези земи. Специален акцент е епископ Вулфила и неговият център край Шумен.Желаем Ви приятно слушане!
