  1. Introduction
  2.  
  3. Macedonia is understood as the country that existed as an independent kingdom between c. 700 BCE and 168 BCE; as a formally independent confederation, but practically subject to Rome, between 167 BCE and 148 BCE; and as a portion of the Roman province of that name until the second half of the 3rd century CE.
  4.  
  5. General Overviews
  6.  
  7. General overviews include Sakellariou 1983, a general work on Macedonia from antiquity to the present day, and Vokotopoulou 1994, a catalogue of exhibitions lavishly illustrating the material culture of Macedonia. Ginouvès and Hatzopoulos 1993 is an edited volume offering a multidisciplinary approach to Macedonia’s history and culture at its peak, while Hatzopoulos 2006 highlights forefront research on major topics of Macedonian geography, history, and culture. The Hammond 1993–1997 four-volume collection of articles contains three decades of contributions to Macedonian studies by one of the most prominent scholars in the field. Finally, Hoffmann 1974, Kalléris 1954–1976, Badian 1982, and Hatzopoulos 2007 investigate the thorny question of the identity of ancient Macedonians and its perception by the Greeks south of Olympus.

  22. A volume aimed to “please lovers of fine books and fine pictures, be of use to teachers and students, offer an accessible synthesis to curious readers and make available to researchers as much factual and bibliographical information as possible, particularly with regard to recent discoveries” (preface, p. 9). An excellent introductory volume for Macedonian researchers.

  138. This is the fullest treatment of the history of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. The first volume, written entirely by Hammond, is devoted to the historical geography and prehistory. The second volume is coauthored with G. T. Griffith and the third volume with the Hellenistic history specialist F. W. Walbank. Although the part devoted to the inner organization of the kingdom is partly outdated, Hammond’s endeavor remains a scholarly monument.

  158. In the absence of literary and, until very recently, of epigraphic evidence on the Macedonian speech, names played a crucial part in the discussion about the origins of ancient Macedonians; hence the early interest of both linguists and historians in onomastics. The works selected are both collections of personal names, such as Tataki 1998 and Fraser and Matthews 2005, and a study (Hatzopoulos 2000) illustrating how these can be exploited for the reconstruction of history.

  189. The political institutions of the ancient Macedonians have for many decades been a contentious subject. It mostly concerned the respective powers of the constituent parts of the state—to wit, the king and the ethnos embodied in the assembly, studied, respectively, by Hampl 1934 and Granier 1931. A dissenting view was aired by Zancan 1934, followed by a seminal article on the originality of the Macedonian kingship (Aymard 1950). A reexamination of the literary evidence by Briant 1973 and recent epigraphic discoveries have profoundly modified our knowledge of Macedonian institutions and have produced the reinterpretations of the available evidence by Hammond 1989 and Hatzopoulos 1996.

  285. Language
  286.  
  287. The language of the ancient Macedonians had been a contentious question for nearly two centuries. The main controversy had been about its Greek or non-Greek character. The discovery and publication of the first continuous text in Macedonian, Voutiras 1998, has now confirmed that it was indeed a Greek dialect, as it had been upheld by a series of scholars in texts such as Kalléris 1954–1976 (cited under General Overviews) and Brixhe and Panayotou 2002. In recent years Dubois 1995, Masson 2016, Brixhe 1999, and Hatzopoulos 2007 have discussed the origin of the presence in the dialect of voiced stops instead of unvoiced ones and the connected question of the affinities of Macedonian with other Greek dialects

  367. There are two regularly held conferences devoted exclusively (Ancient Macedonia) or mainly (Το αρχαιολογικό έργο στη Μακεδονία και Θράκη) to Macedonia. Three meetings of “Πανελλήνιο Επιγραφικό Συνέδριο” have been held in Thessaloniki at irregular intervals until now, but only the acts of two of them—Sverkos 2001 and Sverkos 2008—have been published, dealing mostly with Macedonia. There have also been other conferences dedicated to Macedonia that are not regularly recurring, such as “Macedonia and Greece” (see Barr-Sharrar and Borza 1982); “Rois, cités, nécropoles” (see Guimier-Sorbet, et al. 2006); and “Μνήμη Λαζαρίδη” (Koukouli-Chrysanthaki and Picard 1990).

  519. No ancient works specifically devoted to Macedonia (with the exception of works on Alexander the Great), such as the Μακεδονικά of Marsyas from Pella, the Μακεδονικαὶ Ἱστορίαι of Marsyas from Philippoi, or the Φιλιππικά of Theopompos from Chios, have survived. Thus, our main literary sources for the history of Macedonia are the works of authors writing general histories, such as Diodoros, Livy, Justin, or “monographs” on special periods or events, such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Polybius. Especially useful are the modern annotated editions and commentaries that have been dedicated to their works.

  585.  
  586. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the modern sharp distinction between exploratory travels and archaeological surveys had not yet appeared. Archaeologists (Delacoulonche 1858, Heuzey 1860, Heuzey and Daumet 1876, Struck 1907–1908), diplomats (Cousinéry 1831, Hahn 1861, and Hahn 1867), and secret agents (Leake 1835) roamed the countryside of Macedonia in search of information about the present and vestiges of the past and duly noted the remains encountered along their way. They have preserved precious records of Macedonian antiquities no longer extant.

  666. The first attempt for the publication of an exhaustive collection of the ancient inscriptions of Macedonia was made by Demitsas 1988. The edition of a scientific corpus based on autopsy was first undertaken by the Berlin Academy at the beginning of the 20th century, but after the much-delayed publication of a volume with the inscriptions of Thessalonica (Edson 1972), only one other volume with the inscriptions of the western part of ex-Yugoslav Macedonia (Papazoglou, et al. 1999) has appeared. The inscriptions of Greek Macedonia are now published by the Greek Ministry of Culture and the National Research Foundation. Two volumes (Rizakis and Touratsoglou 1985 and Gounaropoulou and Hatzopoulos 1998), of upper Macedonia and Beroia, respectively, have already appeared. Collections of particular sites, areas, or periods have also been published, such as Pilhofer 1995–2000 for Philippi, Saatsoglou-Paliadeli 1984 for the funerary mound of Vergina, Nigdelis 2006 with recent additions to the inscriptions of Thessalonike, and Feissel 1983 for the Early Christian period.

  751. The progress of publication of inscriptions from Macedonia can be followed through the annual issues of the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum and the Macedonian section of the Bulletin Épigraphique published as part of the Revue des Études Grecques. Furthermore, in the study of Macedonian epigraphy, one should consult the paradeigmatic work of Robert 1974 on the inscriptions of Thessalonica, as well as three useful searchable databases available on the Internet: J. M. R. Cormack Macedonian Collection: Squeezes and the Packard Humanities and Pandektis collections.

  1231. Prehistoric to Early Classical Macedonia (Second Half of the 7th Millenium to 360 BCE)
  1232.  
  1233. Our knowledge of early Macedonia is limited because of the scarcity of available sources. Until the classical period, we dispose only of passing or fragmentary references to mythological figures, genealogies, and settlements. Random archaeological finds could not effectively supplement such lacunae. Only very recently have archaeological discoveries become sufficiently abundant as to allow, in combination with linguistic and onomastic data, a partial reconstruction of the demographic, political, and cultural conditions that prevailed in the Old Kingdom and upper Macedonia in Archaic times. Evidence is forthcoming from the Persian Wars onward and becomes more and more abundant down to the reign of Alexander the Great. General works on archaic and early classical Macedonia, besides general histories of the kingdom, include a handbook of Macedonian prehistory (Heurtley 1939); a couple of monographs (Geyer 1930 and Borza 1992); an important article (Edson 1970); and a monograph on the Chalcidic League, the rival state of the Macedonian kingdom (Psoma 2001).

A reference book such as that by Baege 1913 has not been replaced, but new ground has been broken by innovative works, such as Mari 2002 in the field of the relations between the kingdom of Macedonia and the major Panhellenic sanctuaries, and by Hatzopoulos 1994 in the study of cults specifically aimed at the transition of the young Macedonians from childhood to adolescence and manhood.

  1486. The period extending from the middle of the 4th to the first third of the 2nd century BCE is that of the heyday of ancient Macedonia. The wealth and the political and military power achieved by the conquests of Philip II and Alexander the Great secured for Macedonia a hegemonic position in the Greek peninsula and rendered it a world center of art and culture. A collective volume (Ginouvès and Hatzopoulos 1993) and two symposia (Adams and Borza 1982 and Barr-Sharrar and Borza 1982) offer an adequate overview of that period.

Rizakis and Touratsoglou 2000 (cited under Religion) is a useful overview for the type of inscriptions and funerary monuments of upper Macedonia.

These studies written by the excavators of the material are presented below and cover a wide range of interests from tomb architecture to domestic architecture, pottery, wall-painting, furniture, and cults. Although funerary assemblages take the first role in publications, studies on specific funerary finds that bear a unique interest are also available.

  1883. Α superbly written “diary” of the events that led to the discovery of the Vergina tumulus with the royal tombs. The book is not actually a “diary,” since Manolis Andronikos, the chief excavator of Vergina, writes his thoughts and imprints his feelings by memory. The “diary” stops in 1978, after the discovery of the Tomb of the Prince. The narrative balances discovery and scholarship with the feelings of the excavator before his discovery in a unique and moving way. The second volume, titled Ἡ Βεργίνα καὶ τὰ εὑρήματά της, contains fourteen loose plates with the illustations of the finds.

  2152. The dissertation investigates whether a recognizable Macedonian style existed in the Hellenistic period. By isolating its components, this study determines both the stylistic antecedents of Macedonian architecture and the pattern of its own diffusion to other ancient places. It successfully proves that Macedonian architects increasingly regarded architectural elements as having a decorative rather than a structural function.

  2165. An interesting study of Greek-Scythian art that focuses on the gorytos. One of the pieces analyzed is the gorytos found in the Tomb of Philip at Vergina (Aigeai). The author proposes a tentative interpretation of the scenes based on the now-lost Cyclic Epics Cypria and Epigoni and discusses the possible origin of the workshop. On iconographic grounds she suggests that what is depicted on the Macedonia gorytos is actually the battle between the Kabiroi and Epigonoi; it is thus associated with the Kabirian cult and possibly offered as a funerary gift to Philip by Seuthes III, an initiate of the Thracian cult.

  2207. Although excavations in Macedonia have for obvious reasons brought to light architectural remains and artefacts from the upper strata of occupation of the sites mostly dated in the Roman period, interest in these discoveries has until recently lagged behind. For this reason, there have been numerous reports on excavations at particular sites but relatively few scholarly works attempting a synthesis of the available data. Fanoula Papazoglou was the most eminent scholar who devoted her life to the study of Macedonia under the Romans. Her major contribution in this field was her article in the series Aufstieg und Untergang der römischen Welt (Papazoglou 1979) and her chapter in Macedonia: 4000 Years of Greek History and Civilization (Papazoglou 1983). These studies are recently followed by Sverkos 2000 and the superb picture book Zahrnt 2010, which gives a useful overview of the history and culture of the Roman province of Macedonia.
