- Abstract
Brief Considerations Regarding the Functioning and Territorial Limits of the Theme Paristrion in the 11th and 12th Centuries. The victory over Bulgaria in 1018 allowed Emperor Basil II to organize a new militaryadministrative unit in the territories of the Lower Danube: Thema Paristrion or Paradounavon / Paradounavis. In the 11th century, the territorial boundaries of the Thema Paristrion were: the course of the river Timoc, in the west, the Danube from the confluence with the Timoc river to the outflow into the Black Sea in the north, the Balkan Mountains in the south, and the Black Sea coast from the mouth of the Danube to the south of Varna, in the east. In the 12th century, Byzantine rule was perpetuated on the Lower Danube. Most likely, in the west, based on the new military strategy applied by Alexios I Comnenos, the limit of the Danube theme was fixed on the Transdanubian Carpathians. In the north, the Danube, from the transit of the Transdanubian Carpathians, to its discharge into the sea, continued to be the border of the theme. In the south and east, the military-administrative unit kept its territorial limits from the previous century.
