Anta Bogićević
Antonije Bogićević, known by the hypocorism Anta, was a Serbian vojvoda during the First Serbian Uprising, mostly active around Loznica and by the Drina river.
Bogićević was born in Klupci near Loznica in the 1750s. The uprising broke out in early 1804. By the end of 1804, he was one of the leaders in Jadar.
The Dahije were supported by Ali-paša Vidajić against the revolting Serbs that attacked the towns of Valjevo and Šabac in springtime 1804. After defeating the Dahije, Karađorđe sent Bogićević with Jevta Savić Čotrić to conclude a peace treaty with Zvornik leader Mehmed-paša Vidajić, which was signed, but short-lived. In 1807 leader Jakov Nenadović rallied Jadar and Rađevina and appointed Anta Bogićević the vojvoda of Jadar, with the territory of Podrinje, and also appointed several buljubaša. Among the Jadar notables, veteran Todor Bojinović did not receive a command, and when Bojinović protested this the next year in Belgrade he was accused of crime by the Governing Council.
Bogićević was stationed mostly at Loznica or was active by the Drina river, having many fights with the "Turks" at Krupanj, Rožanj, Rađevo polje and often at Loznica. Bogićević participated at the bloody victory at Loznica. The 1811–12 years were calmer. Bogićević was ordered by Karađorđe to put himself under the command of Luka Lazarević in March 1813. At the beginning of April 1813 some serfs complained about Bogićević. He died at the end of the month. Karađorđe appointed Bogićević's son Bogosav as a commander of a supportive band to Lazarević.
Bogićević was buried in a trench in Loznica where he had fought countlessly, according to his own wish. When the Ottomans retook Loznica that same year, they dug up his body, sent the head to Zvornik and threw the body in the nearby wetland. His grandson Mihailo Bogićević erected a gravestone in 1885–86.
His daughter Tomanija married Jevrem Obrenović.
Songs of his heroic exploits were sung by the famous guslar Filip Višnjić, such as in Boj na Loznici.
There is a public school in Serbia named after him.
