Description
This border is an interpretation, which is outlined in detail in the Frontend "Maps of Power: Historical Atlas of Places, Borderzones and Migration Dynamics in Byzantinum (Dig-TIB)" among the "Stories". The relevant Story Map is entitled "Roads of Conquest: The Serbian Advance in Byzantine Macedonia Reconstructed". We may assume that our interpretation of the border in the respective Story Map was valid in the times of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš III Dečanski (reigned 1321-1331) as well as of his son King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) and that in 1334 the latter advanced quickly over the plain and overran the Byzantine town of Prilep, thus opening the way to the South towards today’s Bitola.
