Cola Nicea

During the last years of his life, Nicea wrote Memorii ("Memoirs"), one of the only first-hand accounts on the Aromanian fighters during the conflicts in Ottoman Macedonia.

It was unable anymore to pose a threat to the ethnic Greek antartes fighters it had been combating, and the band was chased by them up until the Young Turk Revolution of July 1908.

[7] After the end of the Macedonian Struggle and of World War I, Nicea emigrated to Bazargic (now Dobrich), in the region of Southern Dobruja that Romania had annexed from Bulgaria in 1913.

[1] Shortly before his death,[8] Nicea wrote Memorii ("Memoirs") based on the written account of his own memories and on old notes he managed to find.

[1] Thus, in 1990, Nicolae Cușa published Nicea's testimony of the conflicts in Macedonia in the form of a diary in his book Macedoromânii pe văile istoriei ("Macedo-Romanians in the Valleys of History").

It would not be until 2001 that the original and complete version of Nicea's memoirs would be published in the fifth issue in December of that year in the Romanian religious magazine Scara.

[1] Romanian researcher Vladimir Crețulescu sees great value in Nicea's Memorii, regarding it as deserving of greater attention from scholars in the field of Aromanian studies.
