	Macedonian Heritage - FAQ
		In Roman times the name Macedonia was used for a much wider area, including Paeonia (but not Dardania), parts of Thrace, Thessaly, and Southern Greece, while in the Byzantine Empire it was completely disassociated from classical Macedonia; it was a division (theme) in Thrace bordering on the Black Sea.

		However, if the entire national ideology of Bulgaria is projected to the maximum, to include all of Macedonia as a territory, as a culture and as a history, the acknowledgment of the Macedonian identity will without doubt bring a psychological cataclysm in Bulgaria.
