Gacovic Od romanskog stanovnistva do Rumuna Timocana (VII-XVI vek) knjiga III (1)

Zatim su sa prostora Timočke zone navedeni i etimološki obrađeni
mnogi toponimi, a i ojkonimi iz turskih popisnih deftera XV-XVI veka, koji
ukazuju na duboku starost vulgarnolatinske i rumunske osnove, što takođ·e
predstavlja argument više o kontinuitetu romanskog stanovništva. Takođe je
ukazano na jedan broj rumunskih naziva naselja zabeleženih u poveljama
srpskih vladara, koji su migracijom preneseni na prostor Vidinske lmeže\{ine
krajem XIV i tokom XV-XVI veka i popisani u turskim popisnim defterima
koji su se očuvali u ojkonimiji, toponimiji, hidronimiji i oronimiji Timočke
zone. Naveden je i ne mali broj mikrotoponima rumunskog porekla sa
prostora prizrensko-timočkog govora.
Kada se govori o romanizaciji srednjobalkanskih plemena na prostoru
današnje Timočke zone, odnosno o romanizovanom stanovništvu kao i o
njihovom kontinuitetu, ostaje opšti zaključak da se ono održalo do_danas na
ovim prostorima i da je kroz dugu istoriju imalo svoje uspone i padove:
Romnizovano stanovništvo se, i pored navale Germana, Huna, Avara i
doseljenih Slovena, Srba i Bugara, odrzalo pod vlašću Romanije do početka
VII veka, kada ovaj prostor pripada Avarskom kaganatu, a zatim u više
navrata pripada Bugarskom kaganatu i carstvu, Ugarskoj kraljevini, Srbiji u
delu BraniGeva i Romaniji/Vizantiji (Kratos Romeion). Sa vremenom se na
ovim prostorima romansko stanovništvo u izvorima, kao i drugde na
Balkanskom poluostrvu, naziva Vlasima, što svakako predstavljg. ne
socijalnu, stalesku kategoriju, ve¢ romanski entitet sa svojim obiCajima,
zakonima, kulturom i jezikom, o čemu nalazimo fragmentarne podatke
posebno u grčkim, latinskim, mletačkim, jermenskim, arapskim,
staroslovenskim i drugim pisanim izvorima.
CONCLUSION
Romanization of central Balkan tribes began, as it were, from the first
contacts with the Roman army, especially since the establishment of Roman
rule and the formation of provinces Moesiaa, and was completed in the mid
third century, although in some segments it lasted until the end of the sixth –
the beginning of the seventh century, when the arrival of Slavic tribes had
definitely stopped. Romanized natives of the Timok area, which in medieval
sources were called by the general name Plachs or Timok Romanians in
more recent literature, can be followed in continuity through all the historical
events by the end of the sixteenth century.
Romanization activity of the first formations of the Roman army was
at first felt by Dardanians, then Moesians, Triballi and Scordisci, the tribes
which welcomed and necessarily accepted Roman rule in the Timok area.
According to the existing sources and inscriptions, we presented, in brief, the
area of their abiding and ethnicity, which is, in a free interpretation, Illyrian,
Thracian and Celtic, which in the process of Romanization by the end of
antiquity usually disappears.
Formation of the Province of Moesia, and thc formation of Moesia
Superior after the outbreak of fvar with the Dacians and accommodation of
Roman military forces in it, has led to increased Romanization of the native
population on the outskirts, and in the interior provinces. Permanent camps
of the first Moesian troops before and after the formation of the province of
Moesia Superior, in all likelihood, were in Singidunum (Simgidunum,
Scythica IV, IV Flavia) or Viminacium (Viminacium Scythica 1V, VII
Augusta, VII Claudia), Margum (IV Flavia) , Eskus (V Macedonica), Novas
(VIII Augusta) and Raciaria (XIII Gemina). Besides the legions, in the forts
of Upper Moesia some extra formations were set, alas and cohorts.
Military camp for the local police department auxiliary, called
auxilium Margense, or the Department of the Danube fleet, which carries the
name of the classis Stradensis et Germensis was located in Margum, then
one cuneus equitum promotorum was placed in Viminacium, and a cohort I
Hispanorum, I Cretum and the ala II Pannoniorum, but also two
detachments, cuneus equitum sagittariorum and milites Vincentienses,
probably recruited in the nearby place of Vinceia, were in Lederata.
Headquarters of two detachments, cuneus cuneus equitum Constantiacorum
and equitum Dalmatarum was placed in Pincum castle, while in vicus
Cuppae there were cohors I Flavia hispanorum and probably cohors /
hispanorum and cuneus ecuitum Dalmatarum, auxilium Cupense and cohors
III campestris. Besides the above mentioned, many extra units were located
