Thracia (Imperator Augustus)

The Odrysian Kingdom was a union of Thracian tribes that endured between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. It consisted largely of present-day Bulgaria, spreading to parts of Northern Dobruja, parts of Northern Greece and modern-day European Turkey. King Seuthes III later moved the capital to Seuthopolis. The Odrysians were one of the most powerful Thracian tribes that dwelled in the plain of the Hebrus river. This would place the tribe in the modern border area between southeastern Bulgaria, northeastern Greece, and European Turkey, centered around the city of Edirne. The river Artescus passed through their land as well. Xenophon writes that the Odrysians held horse races and drank large amounts of wine after the burial of their dead warriors. Thucydides writes on the custom, practised by most Thracians, of giving gifts for getting things done. Herodotus is the first that mentions the Odrysae. Thrace had nominally been part of the Persian empire since 516 BC and was re-subjugated by Mardonius in 492 BCE. The Odrysian state was the first Thracian kingdom that acquired power in the region, through the unification of many Thracian tribes under a single ruler, King Teres in the 5th century BCE. Initially, during the reign of Teres or Sitalces, the state was at its zenith, and extended from the Black Sea in the east, to Danube in the north, the region populated by the Triballi in the northwest, and the basin of the river Strymon in the southwest and towards the Aegean. Later its extent changed to present day Bulgaria, Turkish Thrace, and Greece between the Hebrus and the Strymon, except for the coastal strip the Greek cities occupied. Sovereignty was never exercised over all of its lands as it varied in relation to tribal politics. This large territory was populated with a number of Thracian and Daco-Moesian tribes that united under the reign of a common ruler, and began to implement common internal and external policies. Those were favourable conditions for overcoming the tribal divisions which could lead gradually to the formation of a more stable ethnic community. According to the Greek historians Herodotus and Thucydides, a royal dynasty emerged from among the Odrysian tribe in Thrace around the end of the 5th century BC, which came to dominate much of the area and peoples between the Danube and the Aegean for the next century. Later writers, royal coin issues, and inscriptions indicate the survival of this dynasty into the early 1st century AD, although its overt political influence declined progressively first under Persian, Macedonian, later Roman, encroachment. Despite their demise, the period of Odrysian rule was of decisive importance for the future character of south-eastern Europe, under the Roman Empire and beyond.
