THE TERRITORIAL DISPUTES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 5TH CENTURY SOUTH OF THE DANUBE
THE TERRITORIAL DISPUTES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 5TH CENTURY SOUTH OF THE DANUBE

Summary/Abstract: The tensions emerged at the end of the 5th century on the Illyricum and the Danubian territorial continued and even accentuated at the beginning of the 5th century. Th events triggered a crisis which will become acute during the time of the Constantinople patriarch Atticos (406-425) and during the reign of Pope Zosimus [417-418]. It must be noted that Zosimus did not address Rufus, vicary of Thessaloniki, but an Illyrian bishop (whose name is not known) and whose authority, apparently, was high enough at the time for the Church in Illyrium. During this time, Constantinople approached increasingly the territories of the Eastern Illyrium, especially the Danubian lands and the center of Illyricum, Thessaloniki, and the hierarchs and clerics here will often address Rome for cases of dissatisfaction or misunderstanding.
