The month of February drew to a close and he took up residence in Nicaea in order to check the city’s preparedness for siege warfare and improve its security. 1 The rumor of a massive Mongol invasion gave cause for concern. In 1254 the Great Khan Mongke dispatched one of his brothers, Hulegu, to lead a campaign of subjugation of Persia and the Nicaean state. Hulegu did not reach the Near East until 1256, but the timing and direction of this new wave of Mongol attacks were unknown – and profoundly unsettling for those living in western Asia Minor. 2 The senior emperor suddenly fell gravely ill in Nicaea, lying motionless and out of breath for two days. He never recovered fully, but began to suffer seizures, progressively lost his strength, and had to be carried on a litter. The illness was believed, at least by later historians, to be a severe form of epilepsy and his physicians applied bleeding. This diagnosis is highly unlikely, just as in the case of his son, because there are no indications that he suffered from epilepsy before he was stricken with illness. Epileptic symptoms can indicate other diseases and Byzantine doctors too readily assigned the diagnosis. 3 In early April Vatatzes returned to Nymphaion to celebrate Palm Sunday (April 5) and Easter (April 12). From there he moved to the Periklystra palace near Smyrna and came occasionally to pray to the miraculous icon of Christ kept in the Kamelaukas monastery in Smyrna dedicated to Christ the Savior. 4","PeriodicalId":141008,"journal":{"name":"The Byzantine Hellene","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117282837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only at the age of thirty-two (1255) is he first attested to have crossed the boundary between Asia and Europe and set foot in the Balkans. His life was embedded in the physical and human geography of Asia Minor. His native land seeped into his sense of identity and entered his psyche. He was attached to it and gave it endearing names, such as “beloved ground,” “fatherland ( patris ),” and “the holy land, my mother Anatolia.” 1 In what ways did he perceive and imagine his native land?

He called them his “friends,” using a range of Greek words. 1 A scrutiny of this microcommunity at the court reveals aspects of his daily life and sheds light on the formation of his character, while exhibiting the network of individuals around him. Examining his companions at court also provides the background necessary to make sense of his confrontation with the top tier of the aristocracy and leads to a clearer understanding of his political and moral philosophy. The crown prince came to view friendship as a fundamental human value and a pervasive sociopolitical phenomenon. His interest culminated in a treatise on the role of friendship in society that he addressed to his long-term companion George Mouzalon. This special work represents the only articulation in Byzantium of a coherent theory of friendship, yet it is something of a conundrum. His investigation of friendship is as much theoretical as personal. A look at the profiles of his friends and foes illuminates both his promotion of what he called “friendship” and the political positions that he took as a reigning emperor.","PeriodicalId":141008,"journal":{"name":"The Byzantine Hellene","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128652511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
