HISTORICAL GEGONONTA
Thessalonica can pride because she is one from the minimal cities of Europe
that function as urban centre for more from 2.300 hro'nja. It is founded
the 315 p.H. from the Ka'ssandro, general of Big Alexandros and following
successor in the throne, which is wedded the first girl of king Philippos
and gives the name of his woman in the city that builds. Thus is given birth
the state that j'!melle becomes the intellectual and administrative centre
of Northern Greece. It was epj'nejo Pella, capital, then, Macedonia. Afterwards
the battle of Py'dnas, 168 p.H. Macedonia became rwmaj!ki' province and Thessalonica
capital of one from her four departments. It maintained her importance at
the duration of rwmaj!ki's period, while in the Byzantine years they were
essential symvasjley'oysa the second more important city afterwards Istamboul.
Byzantine Thessalonica, love of kings of City, knew separate blossoming and
was tryed many times by enemies. Her vital geographic place, the wealth and
her prosperity stirred always the greed of barbarians. The Sarakinoj' pirates
kyrj'eysan and leila'tisan in the 904, in order to follow in 1185 the Normen,
in 1204 the Fra'gkoj, afterwards the Venetians and in 1430 began the long-lasting
Ottoman slavery that kept up to the release of city in November 1912. After
each crasy' intruder Thessalonica gathers her pieces and makes new beginning.
Big capital in the history of Macedonia, and of course Thessalonica existed
Big Alexandros.
