	LYCHNIDOS, History of Ohrid
		The contemporary city of Ohrid is a descendant of the antique town of Lychnidos.
		After the Roman conquest, the name Desarets appeared as the joint name of all tribes that lived in the mountainous region inside the area of Macedonia and South Illyria, stretching from the border with Epirus in the south to the Parthynes and Phenestes in the north and Lynkestes in the east.
		During this period the region of Lychnidos was part of the Hellenic civilization and did not belong to the Latin speaking regions.

		Ohrid town is first mentioned in Greek documents from 353 B.C.E., when it was known as Lychnidos - or, “the city of light.” Only much later, in 879 C.E., was it renamed Ohrid.
		Apart from its ancient theater (which is still in use today), the ancient Lychnidos boasted a classical agora, gymnasium, civil basilicas and temples to the gods of Greek Antiquity.

	Ancient Macedonian Culture
		It appears that, at the beginning of the 3rd century A.D. and perhaps for some time before that, Roman culture in Macedonia reached its highest level of influence: the towns of Skupi (present-day Skopje), Stobi, Bargala, Heraclea Lyncestis (near Bitola), Lychnidos (present-day Ohrid) and a few others prospered under Roman rule.
		During an attack by the Goths and Huns (268-269 A.D.) many towns in Macedonia were completely destroyed.
		Ohrid (Lychnidos) existed as an Illyrian town from the date of its foundation until the late Classical period, but the earliest historical record of it is from 217 B.C. The subjection of Macedonia and Illyrian territories to Roman authority meant the beginning of the development of Ohrid as a Roman stronghold.
