Херсонес ( древнегреческий : Χερσόνησος , латинизируется :  Херсонесе ; латинский : Херсонес , современных российских и украинских : Херсонес, Херсонес , также визуализируется как Херсонес , Херсонес ), в средневековой греческой подрядился Херсона (Χερσών; Древнерусский язык : Корсунь, Корсунь ) является древнегреческая колония основана около 2500 лет назад в юго - западной части Крымского полуострова. Поселенцы из Гераклеи Понтийской в Вифинии основали колонию в 6 веке до нашей эры.

Древний город расположен на берегу Черного моря на окраине современного Севастополя на Крымском полуострове , где она упоминается как Херсонес ( русский : Херсонес ). Сайт является частью Национального заповедника Херсонес Таврический . Название Херсонес по-гречески означает «полуостров» и точно описывает место, на котором была основана колония. Его не следует путать с Херсонесом Таврическим - этим названием часто называют весь южный Крым.

В течение большей части классического периода Херсонес действовал как демократия, управляемая группой избранных архонтов и советом, называемым Демиургой . Со временем правительство стало более олигархическим, а власть сосредоточилась в руках архонтов. Форма клятвы, которую приносили все граждане с 3-го века до нашей эры, сохранилась до наших дней. [1] В 2013 году ЮНЕСКО внесла Херсонес в список Всемирного наследия .

В конце II в. До н.э. Херсонес вошел в состав Боспорского царства . Он находился под властью Рима с середины I века до нашей эры до 370-х годов нашей эры, когда был захвачен гуннами .

Византийская эпоха [ править ]

Он стал владением Византии в период раннего средневековья и выдержал осаду Гектюрков в 581 году. Византийское правление было незначительным: небольшой имперский гарнизон был больше для защиты города, чем для его контроля. Это было полезно для Византии двумя способами: это была наблюдательная площадка для наблюдения за варварскими племенами, а ее изоляция сделала ее популярным местом ссылки для тех, кто разозлил римское, а затем и византийское правительства. Среди его наиболее известных «сокамерников» были Папа Климент I и Папа Мартин I , а также свергнутый византийский император Юстиниан II .

По свидетельству Феофана Исповедника и других, Херсонес в конце VII века был резиденцией хазарского наместника ( тудуна ). Примерно между 705 и 840 годами делами города управляли выборные должностные лица, которых называли бабагук , что означает «отец города». [2]

In 833, Emperor Theophilus sent the nobleman Petronas Kamateros, who had recently overseen the construction of the Khazar fortress of Sarkel, to take direct control over the city and its environs, establishing the theme of Klimata/Cherson. It remained in Byzantine hands until the 980s, when it reportedly fell to Kiev. Vladimir the Great agreed to evacuate the fortress only if Basil II's sister Anna Porphyrogeneta would be given him in marriage. The demand caused a scandal in Constantinople. As a pre-condition for the marriage settlement, Vladimir was baptized here in 988, thus paving the way to the Baptism of Kievan Rus'. Thereafter Korsun' was evacuated.

Since this campaign is not recorded in Greek sources, historians have suggested that the account actually refers to the events of the Rus'–Byzantine War (1043) and to a different Vladimir. In fact, most valuables looted by the Slavs in Korsun' made their way to Novgorod (perhaps by way of Joachim the Korsunian, the first Novgorodian bishop, as his surname indicates ties to Korsun), where they were preserved in the Cathedral of Holy Wisdom until the 20th century. One of the most interesting items from this "Korsun Treasure" is the copper Korsun Gate, supposedly captured by the Novgorodians in Korsun' and now part of the St. Sophia Cathedral.

After the Fourth Crusade (1202–04), Chersonesus became dependent on the Byzantine Empire of Trebizond as the Principality of Theodoro. After the Siege of Trebizond (1461) the Principality of Theodoro became independent. The city fell under Genoese control in the early 13th century. In 1299, the town was sacked by the Mongol armies of Nogai Khan's Golden Horde. Byzantine sources last mention Chersonesus in 1396, and based on archaeological evidence the site is presumed to have been abandoned in the following decades.

Ecclesiastical history[edit]

Chersonesus had been a Roman pre-Great Schism, later Greek/Orthodox, episcopal see for centuries, elevated early to the rank of archbishopric, since it is mentioned as such in the Notitiae Episcopatuum; it disappeared after the Turkish conquest in 1475 and the destruction of the city.[3]

The Saint Vladimir Cathedral in Chersonesus was built in the 19th century in the Byzantine Revival style.

In the late 19th century, the grand Russian Orthodox St Vladimir's Cathedral (completed 1892) was built on a small hill overlooking the site; designed in Byzantine style, it was intended to commemorate the site of Vladimir's baptism.

Latin (now titular) see[edit]

In 1333, a Latin Church diocese of Chersonesus was established, but it appears that it had only a bishop, a Dominican called Richard the Englishman.[4][5][6]

No longer a residential diocese, Chersonesus in Zechia is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular archbishopric,[7] since the early 20th century, originally called Cherson(a) or Chersonesus, since 1933 specifically Chersonesus in Zechia, avoiding confusion with other sees called Chersonesus (notably in Crete) by specifying it is Crimean.

It is vacant for decades, having had the following incumbents, all of the intermediary (archiepiscopal) rank:

  • Donald Louis Mackintosh (1912.06.11 – 1919.10.08)
  • Alexis-Armand Charost (1920.06.15 – 1921.09.22) as Coadjutor Archbishop of Rennes (1920.06.15 – 1921.09.22), succeeding as Metropolitan Archbishop of Rennes (Brittany, France) (1921.09.22 – 1930.11.07), created Cardinal-Priest of S. Maria della Vittoria (1922.12.14 – 1930.11.07); previously Titular Bishop of Miletopolis (1913.02.14 – 1913.11.21) & Auxiliary Bishop of Cambrai (France) (1913.02.14 – 1913.11.21), then Bishop of Lille (France) (1913.11.21 – 1920.06.15)
  • Beda Giovanni Cardinale, Benedictine Order (O.S.B.) (1922.07.25 – 1933.12.01)
  • Albert Levame (1933.12.21 – 1958.12.05)
  • Louis Parisot, Society of African Missions (S.M.A.) (1960.01.14 – 1960.04.21)
  • Serapione Uluhogian, Mechitarists (C.A.M.) (1960.07.22 – 1965.05.16)
  • Hemaiagh Guédiguian, C.A.M. (1971.03.03 – 1976.07.03), later Patriarch of Cilicia of the Armenians (Lebanon) ([1976.07.03] 1976.07.05 – retired 1982.05.30), President of Synod of the Armenian Catholic Church (1976.07.05 – 1982.05.30)

Remains[edit]

Archaeological site[edit]

The 1935 Basilica

Chersonesus's ancient ruins are presently located in one of Sevastopol's suburbs. They were excavated by the Russian government, starting from 1827. They are today a popular tourist attraction, protected as an archaeological park.

The buildings mix influences of Greek, Roman and Byzantine culture. The defensive wall was approximately 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) long, 3.5 to 4 metres wide and 8 to 10 metres high with towers at a height of 10 to 12 metres. The walls enclosed an area of about 30 hectares (74 acres).[8] Buildings include a Roman amphitheatre and a Greek temple.

The surrounding land under the control of the city, the chora, consists of several square kilometres of ancient but now barren farmland, with remains of wine presses and defensive towers. According to archaeologists, the evidence suggests that the locals were paid to do the farm work instead of being enslaved.

The excavated tombstones hint at burial practices that were different from the Greek ones. Each stone marks the tomb of an individual, instead of the whole family and the decorations include only objects like sashes and weapons, instead of burial statues. Over half of the tombs archaeologists have found have bones of children. Burned remnants suggest that the city was plundered and destroyed.

In 2007, Chersonesus tied for fifth in the Seven Wonders of Ukraine poll.

On February 13, 2009, Ukrainian Defence Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov called on Russia's Black Sea naval fleet to move its automobile depot from the site to another place. The location of the Russian Black Sea naval fleet's automobile depot was one of the obstacles to the inclusion of the reserve on UNESCO's list of world heritage sites.[9]

In 2017, archaeologists discovered on the outskirts of Sevastopol, fragments of an ancient Greek altar with figures of gods.[10][11]

The 1935 basilica[edit]

The 1935 basilica is the most famous basilica excavated in Chersonesus. The original name is unknown so "1935" refers to the year it was opened.[12] The basilica was probably built in the 6th century on the site of an earlier temple, assumed by historians to be a synagogue, itself replacing a small temple dating from the early days of Christianity.[13] The 1935 basilica is often used as an image representing Chersonesos. Its picture appears on one Ukrainian banknote.[12]

Museum contents[edit]

As well as the archaeological sites, the museum has around 200,000 smaller items from 5 AD to the 15th century, over 5,000 of which are currently exhibited. These include:[14]

  • ancient texts, including the Oath of Chersonese citizens (3rd century BC),[15] decrees in honour of Diophantus (2nd century BC) [16]
  • a collection of coins
  • a mosaic of black and white pebbles and coloured stones
  • ancient ceramics
  • architectural fragments, including ancient and medieval abacuses, reliefs, the remains of ancient murals

Current studies[edit]

The Institute of Classical Archaeology of the University of Texas at Austin and the local Archaeological Park has investigated the site since 1992. The Ukrainian government has included the site on its tentative World Heritage List. The site, however, is in danger of further urban encroachment and coastal erosion.

In 2013, "The Ancient City of Tauric Chersonese and its Chora" was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This World Heritage Site consists of seven locations that encompass the city of Chersonesus and six plots of agricultural land. The site was designated as a World Heritage site under the UNESCO criterion (ii) and (v). UNESCO considers these areas to show cultural lifestyles and land use of ancient populations that inhabited these areas.[17]

During the 2014 Crimean crisis, the Crimean peninsula was annexed by Russia, but UNESCO has maintained that it will continue to recognize Crimea and its heritage sites as belonging to Ukraine.[18]

Problems and controversies[edit]

The encroachment of modern building in and around the ancient archaeological site, coupled with a lack of funding to prevent such development pressures, has left the site of Chersonesus firmly at risk.[19]

In an October 2010 report titled Saving Our Vanishing Heritage, Global Heritage Fund identified Chersonesus as one of 12 worldwide sites most "On the Verge" of irreparable loss and destruction, citing insufficient management and development pressures as primary causes.[20]

On July 29, 2015 governor of Sevastopol Sergei Menyailo (Сергей Меняйло), after firing the director of Chersonesus Preserve Andrey Kulagin (Андрей Кулагин), appointed a priest, Sergiy Khalyuta (Сергий Халюта) to the position. This move caused heated protests of the staff, and the 109 members unanimously refused to work under the new director. The conflict attracted a significant attention of the media. The workers claim that the conflict of the governor and the director of the Preserve started on July 11, when director complained about road construction works within the territory of the Preserve, approved by Governor without the permits necessary for works in protected areas. Eventually, under the pressure, Father Sergiy stepped down.[21]
