Strymoniten
Strymon um 1045
Die Strymoniten (griechisch ΣτρυμονῖταιStrymonitai) waren ein südslawischer Stamm in Makedonien im 7. Jahrhundert. Sie siedelten wahrscheinlich am Fluss Struma (altgriechisch ΣτρυμώνStrymōn).
Die Strymoniten befuhren mit ihren Schiffen die Ägäis bis zum Marmarameer zu Beutezügen. 658 zwang sie der byzantinische Kaiser Konstans II. nach einem Kriegszug nach Makedonien zu Tributzahlungen. 676/678 belagerten sie mit Awaren, Drugubiten und Rhynchinen die byzantinische Stadt Thessaloniki.

A map showing the Byzantine themata (administrative units) of the Byzantine Empire in 1045 CE, focusing on central Balkans around the region of Macedonia. The Macedonian thema is in what today is part of present-day Bulgaria, while the Bulgarian thema includes what today is the Republic of North Macedonia. Note that the thematic boundaries in this map, especially those of Strymon and Macedonia, are very inaccurate. Macedonia was actually located further south, up to the Aegean coast of western Thrace
