The 12th volume of Tabula Imperii Byzantini deals with the
historical geography of Eastern Thrace in Antiquity and the Middle
Ages. As the European hinterland of Constantinople, capital of the
Byzantine empire for more than thousand years, the region was one
of the most significant landscapes in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Bordering on the Aegean in the west, the Sea of Marmara in the
south and the Black Sea in the east the area is exposed to
different climatic influences and shows a notable regional variety.
Prominent places of Eastern Thrace are Constantinople with its
suburbs and the Bosphorus, mount Ganos the "holy mountain" (Isiklar
Dagi), the peninsula of Chersone-sos and the Istranca mountain with
its numerous nameless fortresses. The introduction of the volume
deals with geography and climate, with history, traffic-routes and
economy. Furthermore, an alphabetical catalogue offers more than
700 entries of settlements, place-names, fortresses, churches etc.
from late Antiquity and Byzantine times; it was composed by using
GIS, written, archaeological and toponymical sources. The main map
of Eastern Thrace is drawn to a scale of 1:800,000, a more detailed
map shows the Golden Horn and the European shore of the Bosphorus
to a scale of 1:100,000. The volume adjoins to TIB 6 "Thrace" by P.
Soustal and TIB 10 "The Northern Aegean" by J. Koder, P. Soustal
and A. Koder.
