In
Greek mythology
,

Nike
was a
goddess
who personified
victory
, also known as the Winged Goddess of
Victory. The Roman equivalent was
Victoria
. Depending upon the time of various
myths, she was described as the daughter of
Pallas
(Titan) and

Styx
(Water) and the sister of
Kratos
(Strength),
Bia
(Force), and
Zelus
(Zeal). Nike and her siblings were close
companions of Zeus
, the dominant deity of the
Greek pantheon
. According to classical (later)
myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when
Stone carving of the goddess Nike at the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Ephesus
the
god was assembling allies for the
Titan War
against the older deities. Nike
assumed the role of the divine
charioteer
, a role in which she often is
portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the
victors with glory and fame.

Nike is seen with wings in most statues and paintings. Most other winged
deities in the Greek pantheon had shed their wings by Classical times. Nike is
the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. Nike was a very close acquaintance
of Athena
, and is thought to have stood in
Athena’s outstretched hand in the statue of Athena located in the Parthenon.
Nike is one of the most commonly portrayed figures on Greek coins.

Names stemming from Nike include amongst others:
Nicholas
, Nicola, Nick, Nikolai, Nils, Klaas,
Nicole, Ike, Niki, Nikita, Nika, Niketas, and Nico.


Stobi (mod.

Gradsko

) was an ancient town of

Paionia

, later conquered by

Macedon

, and later still incorporated into the

Roman

province of

Macedonia Salutaris

(now in the

Republic of Macedonia

). It is located on the main road that leads from the

Danube
to the

Aegean Sea

and is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in the

Republic of Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigón river (mod.

River Crna

) joins the Axiós river (mod.

Vardar
), making

it important strategically as a center for both trade and warfare.

//

 The

pre-Roman period

Stobi developed from a

Paeonian

settlement established in the Archaic period. Located on the

northern side of a terrace, the early town covered an area of about 25,000

square meters. Its proximity to the junction of the

Erigón

and Axiós

rivers and its position in the fertile central Vardar valley allowed

it to quickly develop a flourishing economy and establish trade. Nearby

Mount Klepa

was a lucrative source of marble. The initial Paeonian

population was later supplemented by other immigrant groups.

In earlier times,

Bylazora

was the Paeonian capital, but later the Paeonians moved their capital to Stobi.

Stobi along with the rest of Paeonia was conquered by the kingdom of

Macedon

.

 The

Roman period

In 168 BC
,

the

Romans

defeated

Perseus

and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics.

In 148 BC
the

four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. The

town was first mentioned in

197 BC
by

Livius
. In the

reign of Augustus

(31 BC-14 AD) the town grew in size and population. The town grew

in 69 AD once it became a

municipium

and coins, with Municipium Stobensium printed on them, were distributed.

The citizens of Stobi enjoyed

Ius

Italicum
and were citizens of Rome. Most belonged to the tribes

Aemila

and

Tromentina

. During Roman times Stobi was the capital of the Roman province

Macedonia Salutaris

. Emperor

Theodosius I

stayed in Stobi in 388. Late in the 5th century the town

underwent a terrible turn of events. In 479 AD, it was robbed by

Theodoric

, an

Ostrogothic

king. The citizens reconstructed the town, but in 518 AD was

struck by a powerful earthquake. Avaro-Slavic invasions in the 6th century

ruined the city’s economy and infrastructure.


Julia

Domna (unknown date–217)

was a member of the

Severan dynasty

of the

Julia domna.jpgRoman

Empire. Empress and wife of

Roman

Emperor
Lucius

Septimius Severus

and mother of Emperors

Geta

and Caracalla

, Julia was among the most important women ever to exercise power

behind the throne in the Roman Empire.

//

 Family

background

Julia was of Syrian origin from the ancient city of

Emesa. Her

ancestors were Kings Priest of the famous temple of

Baal. The family

lost its kingdom to Rome but continued domination of the temple of Baal. The

family had an enormous wealth and was promoted to Roman senatorial aristocracy.

She was the youngest daughter of high-priest Gaius

Julius Bassianus

and her eldest sister was

Julia

Maesa
.

 Reign

In the late 180s, Julia married future Emperor

Septimius Severus

who himself was in part of

Punic

background. The marriage proved to be a happy one and Severus

cherished his wife and her political opinions, since she was very well read and

keen on philosophy. Together, they had two sons, Lucius Septimius Bassianus (Caracalla)

in 186 and

Publius Septimius Geta

in 189.

 Civil

War

When Severus became emperor in 193 he had a civil war waiting

for him, against rivals such as

Pescennius Niger

and

Clodius Albinus

. Julia accompanied him in his campaigns in the East, an

uncommon event in a time when women were expected to wait in Rome for their

husbands. Nevertheless, she remained with the emperor and among the several

proofs of affection and favour are the minting of coins with her portrait and

the title mater castrorum (mother of the camp).

Julia now had complete power and ruled behind the Roman

Empire. Many early Romans disliked the fact of her ruling over the throne when

Septimius Severus was at war.

 Controversy

and transition of power

As empress, Julia was often involved in intrigues and had

plenty of political enemies who accused her of treason and adultery. None of

these accusations were proven, Severus continued to favour his wife and insisted

on her company in the campaign against the

Britons

that started in 208. When Severus died, in 211 in

York, Julia became

the mediator between their two sons.

Caracalla

and

Geta

who were to rule as joint emperors, according to their father’s wishes

expressed on his will. But the two young men were never fond of each other and

quarrelled frequently. Geta was murdered by Caracalla’s soldiers in the same

year.

Caracalla was now sole emperor, but his relations with his

mother were difficult, as attested by several sources, probably due to his

involvement in Geta’s murder. Nevertheless, Julia accompanied Caracalla in his

campaign against the

Parthian empire

in 217. During this trip, Caracalla was assassinated and

succeeded (briefly) by

Macrinus
.

On hearing about the rebellion, Julia chose to commit suicide. Her body was

brought to Rome and placed in the Sepulcrum C. et L. Caesaris (perhaps a

separate chamber in the

Mausoleum of Augustus

). Later, however, both her bones and those of Geta

were transferred by her sister

Julia

Maesa
to the

Mausoleum of Hadrian

.

She was later deified.
