The paper proposes new readings for two second-century inscriptions which mention Heraclea Sintica and reveal important details about the history and the institutions of the city. A letter by Emperor Antoninus Pius, found in Sandanski (IGBulg IV 2263; AD 157/158) is shown to have been provoked by a conflict over territories between the neighbouring cities Heraclea and Parthicopolis, which possibly originated with the foundation of Parthicopolis ca. AD 116-119. A donation for a geru-sia, of unknown provenance (IGBulg V 5925; AD 181-188) is attributed to Heraclea; it provides valuable evidence on several civic institutions – gerusia / gerusiasts and epimeletes (curator) of the gerusia, argyrotamias (treasurer) and mnemon (registrar) of the city.

HISTRIA, HISTOIRE ET ARCHÉOLOGIE EN MER NOIRE. Volume dédié au centenaire des recherches archéologiques à Histria Pontique

An essential component of the archaeological research is the study of landscape. The systematic study of it began to take shape in the 70s of last century, when it was launched the concept of "landscape archeology". Behind this is actually the connection between field research and the changes of the environment at a certain moment of time. In other words the archaeological landscape should be seen as the result of the interaction of natural and anthropogenic factors. The arrival of the Romans and the introduction of the Lower Danube area within the borders of the Roman Empire, as the province of Moesia Inferior, lead to a radical change of landscape. This space is conquered and reorganized primarily by the Roman army, but this action is accompanied by civil measurements, resulting on the one hand, the integration of existing settlements (local and Greek cities of the Black Sea) in the new administrative body, but also the appearance of the new ones. For the Greek city of Histria several studies related to landscape analysis have been made in the past, especially for Greek era. In the present paper we will focus on the components of the Roman territory of Histria (settlements, roads, fortifications, aqueducts, quarries etc) in an attempt to identify the landscape’s characteristics of the area.
