Bylazora or Vilazora was a Paeonian city from the period of early classic antiquity. It is located on the Axius River, at Veles in the Republic of Macedonia. Polybius tells us that "King Philip V captured Bylazora, the largest town of Paeonia, and very favourably situated for commanding the pass from Dardania to Macedonia: so that by this achievement he was all but entirely freed from any fear of the Dardani, it being no longer easy for them to invade Macedonia, as long as this city gave Philip the command of the pass". In 219 BC, the Dardanians collected their forces for a raid into Macedonia and at that time Bylazora must already have been in their hands. With its location at Veles, Bylazora commanded the entrance to a long defile and, no less important, a route southwestwards into Pelagonia via the Babuna Valley, or Raec Valley into Styberra and interior of the Macedonian Kingdom. One assumes that Bylazora, as the largest Paeonian town, must have been in Dardanian possession when Philip V captured it in 217 BC, and to garrison it with aim to end Dardanian raid. Bylazora is also mentioned by Livy in his "The History of Rome" when Perseus in 168 BC arranged military support from the Gauls who were campaigning in Desudaba, Maedica, requesting the Gaulish army to shift their camp to Bylazora, a place in Paeonia, and their officers to go in a body to him at Almana on the River Axius. The geographic dominance over the surrounding valley has determined the communications significance of the city in ancient times. It was situated between the states (or sometimes provinces) of Dardani, Thrace and Macedonia. Ancient Bylazora was the largest and most significant city of Paionia, mentioned in the records of Polybius and Titus Livius. They emphasize its strategic geographic position as a frontier of the northern border of Macedonia against the Dardanians.
According to experts, there are two significant dates related to the relations between ancient Macedonia and Bylazora: The first is 217 B.C. when king Philip V of Macedonia reconstructed its fortifications; The second is 168 B.C. when king Perseus of Macedonia, during the Third Macedonian War, arranged military support from the Gauls who were camping nearby in defending the city against the Romans.[1]

The strange fabrication that Bylazora would have existed at the village Kneze near Sveti Nikole stems from professor Ivan Mikulcic who in 1976 set his foot on the hill called Safara and claimed "this is Bylazora" without presenting a single substantial fact. In that manner he was able to move the ancient Bylazora on the bank of Axius River to the inland of Paeonia at Kneze near Sveti Nikole.
In August 2008, a team of researchers led by archaeologist Boban Husenovski from the National Museum of Macedonia with participation of researchers from the The Texas Foundation for Archaeological & Historical Research discovered the main gate of a city, fortification walls, and plenty of small archaeological finds that have been dated to between the 6th and 3rd century B.C.[2]
From these findings, they have so far been able to confirm that these are in fact the remains of the ancient Payonian city of Bylazora. The excavations are ongoing (2008).

[Rap - Lil Wayne:]
When we hooked up
We sat down made an agreement
We vowed that we would always be
Together through whatever
We say that no one would eva
Come between us
Said we would never ever leave us
That was a while ago
But its like lately
It feels like
I mean I feel like
All we do is fight
And every single night
We can't get it tight
We can't get it right
I just wanta go back
Take it way back
All the way back
Start again do it over
Can we straighten it out
Can we work it out
Cause I don't want be without

You make me feel like
A natural man
And I stand under the clouds
Tryna catch you if I can
And if that goes as planned
Then safely you should land
We will hold hands and dance
To the beat drums of are heart
We should never be apart
I pray the music never finish
From the start on ya mark
Get ready set pume
As I race to the finishline
Better yet the top
Cause I don't wanta hit rock bottom
Bottom line
