Ioakeim Martianos Explained

Ioakeim Martianos (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Ιωακείμ Μαρτινιανός; 1875 - 1955) was a Greek Orthodox bishop and author.

Martianos was an ethnic Aromanian.^{[1] [2]} He was born in Moscopole, modern southern Albania, where he acquired ground level studies. He attended the Phanar Greek Orthodox College, followed by the Halki seminary in Constantinople (modern Istanbul).^[3] Martianos was positioned at the following bishoprics:^[4]

• Berat

1911 - 1924

• Paramythia

1924 - 1925

• Nea Pelagonia (Ptolemaida): 1925 - 1942
• Kilkis

1942 - 1945.

• Xanthi

1945 - 1953.

Martianos also composed a voluminous treatise about his native town Moscopole.^[5] This work has been described by various scholars as one of the best analysis of the town's mid-18th century destruction,^[6] although it concentrates on the Greek features of the town.^[7]
