Constantin Brâncoveanu and Antim Ivireanul – Culture as a Strategy of Resistance in the Orthodox World under Ottoman Domination

Summary/Abstract: The martyrdoms of Romanian Prince Brâncoveanu (1714) and Georgian monk Antim Ivireanul (1716) that became Metropolitan of Wallachia, beside its religious and cultural narrative, are pointing their work into a theological and historical model of resistance grounded in faith, education, and dignity. The Brâncovenianera thus appears not merely as a political episode, but as a foundational moment in the articulation of Orthodox culture as a strategy of survival and resilience under Ottoman domination and illustrates the cultural and religious diplomacy between Romania and Georgia.
