The Catepanate of Ras (''Rascia'') or Serbia ((ギリシア語:κατεπανίκιον Σερβλίας)) was a Byzantine province established between 971–976, during the rule of John Tzimiskes (r. 969–976). It comprised the Principality of Serbia; the Ras region; the seat of the Serbian bishopric (Bishopric of Ras) and state (Stari Ras, the capital). Data on the ''katepano'' of Ras during Tzimiskes' reign is missing. Tzimiskes conquered the area with vigorous resistance. A seal of a ''strategos'' of Ras has been dated to Tzimiskes' reign, making it possible for Tzimiskes' predecessor Nikephoros II Phokas to have enjoyed recognition in Rascia. The ''protospatharios and katepano of Ras'' was a Byzantine governor named John. Byzantine military presence ended soon thereafter with the wars with Bulgaria, and was re-established only ca. 1018 with the short-lived Theme of Sirmium, which however did not extend much into Rascia proper.〔 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catepanate of Ras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
