ca. 700-850 AD

Costantinople does not control much of the Balkans. There are independent local responces that show the vitality of the earlier Graeco-Roman traditions:

1) Establishment of Settlements for the protection of the Maritime Roots
2) Establishment of local Garrisons along the Via Egnatia
3) Even reconstruction of the Track Edessa (Voden)-Ohrid of Via Egnatia

In a period that our sources refer to most of FYROM as Berzitia the Greeks of Macedonia still call their region Makedonia , even if by that time Contantinople used "Makedonia" for the theme of Andrianople.
