Arsenije Loma (; 1768âÂÂ1815) was a Serbian voivode (military commander) in the First and Second Serbian Uprising of the Serbian Revolution (1804âÂÂ1817). He was appointed by KaraÃÂorÃÂe to command KaÃÂer in 1811.
Loma was born in Gojna Gora, to father Joksim, who after the settling of new inhabitants, immediately after the birth of Arsenije, relocated to Dragolj, in the Rudnik nahija. Arsenije took his nickname Lomo from the river Lovnica (formerly Lomnica), which lies in Gojna Gora. He had a sister, Pauna, who later married Milutin SaviÃÂ-Garaà ¡anin, who together had three sons, one of whom was Ilija Garaà ¡anin, the Serbian Prime Minister 1861âÂÂ1867.
He was one of the initiators of the First Serbian Uprising. He fought under the command of Milan Obrenoviàat the Battle of Rudnik, in which he showed heroic deeds. At the end of February 1804, at the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising, 500 rebels commanded by Arsenije Loma and Petar Treà ¡njevÃÂanin besieged Rudnik which was under control of Sali Aga supported by Ali Aga Dà ¾aviàfrom Uà ¾ice and Pljako from Karanovac (modern-day Kraljevo) and their 500 Janissary. He gained the rank of buljubaà ¡a in KaÃÂer. He was wounded several times, some of the wounds never healed. In 1811 he was appointed the voivode (top commander) of KaÃÂer by KaraÃÂorÃÂe.
The nephew of Aga TokatliÃÂ murdered Loma in revenge.
Today's families of LomiÃÂ, Loma, LomoviÃÂ and LomigoriÃÂ are considered his descendants.
Several streets are named after him in Serbia.
