Vojihna Nemanjić of Drama or simply Vojin of Drama (Serbian Cyrillic: Војихна[A] ; ca 1298–1360), was a Serbian feudal nobleman, member of the collateral branch of Nemanjić dynasty, ruling family of the medieval Serbia, that rose through the ranks and became one of the most acclaimed military commanders (voivode[2]) and princes of Stephen Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia. During the Serbian Kingdom and Empire (1331–71), he was titled Caesar[2] (Greek: καῖσαρ, sr. ћесар/кесар), hence, he is mostly known as Caesar Vojihna (кесар Војихна).[3][4] During this period, he was ruling the entire region of Drama (today in Northwestern Greece) as its Lord.
