	Pan-Macedonian Network - Historical Review of Macedonia
		The Macedonians were described as "free" (in reality, under the tutelage of the Romans), paid a tax and were obliged to maintain an army only large enough to protect their own borders against the barbarian tribes of the north.
		An empire tossing and turning amidst the instability of opportunistic government by a host of ambitious contenders for power, an empire in the chaos of economic decline, threatened with the breaching of the integrity of its borders by the repeated incursions of barbarian tribes, and humbled by heavy defeats on the field of battle.
		With the collapse of the Byzantine Empire and its dismemberment by the western crusad ers (Partitio Romaniae), the whole of Macedonia became subject to the Frankish kingdom of Thes saloniki, of which Boniface, marquis of Montfer rat was appointed ruler.

	The Byzantine Empire, Early Russia, and Muslim Expansion
		The empire reached a high point under Basil II who ruled from 976 to 1025 and in these years the Byzantine military finally crushed their Bulgarian foes and on one occasion purposely blinded 15,000 Bulgarian prisoners and sent them home wit the aid of a handful of guides who were left with one eye.
		By the end of the Macedonian empire in 1057, the Byzantine empire entered a long period of decline and for 4 centuries the government, social order and economy suffered irreparable damage and the weakened empire would be further shattered by Christian and Muslim invaders.
		But the empire was economically stable for the most part and the reason for this economic stability was that the economy had been completely monetized for trade and especially for the payment of taxes.

	The Macedonian Orthodox Church
		But following the fall of his empire in 1018, the Ohrid Patriarchate was demoted by the victorious Byzantine Emperor Basil II to the rank of an Archbishopric, although preserving the status of an autocephalous Church.

		All this is a confirmation that in the Christian Orthodox world and on the broader ecumenical plane the Macedonian Orthodox Church has been treated as equal and respected for its contribution to the striving for better understanding and co-operation among the peoples and nations of the world.

		It was, however, only after protracted clashes with the Illyrians and the Thracians, and temporary subjection to Persian suzerainty (510-479 BC)- a period during which the Macedonians established themselves in "Lower Macedonia" - that the country acquired its definitive form and character.
		This brought economic benefits, including the exploitation of a number of silver mines in the area of lake Prasias (the first Macedonian coins were struck at this time), and the independent Macedonian principalities of west and north Macedonia were united around the central authority, recognizing the primacy of the Temenids king.
		The entry of the state into the history of southern Greece was sealed by the acceptance of Alexander I by the hellanodikai as a competitor in the Olympic games (probably those of 496 BC), in which, as we know, only Greeks were allowed to participate.
