Odrysian kingdom

The first large Thracian state, from the 5th century BC to Roman annexation.

Last updated

The Odrysians were the first to supersede the Thracian tribal system and establish a large state in the eastern Balkans.[1] Through expansionist policies pursued by Teres and his son Sitalces, the kingdom attained a position of great power for its era.[2]

What the cited sources add

According to the archaeologist Tonkova, early elite tombs from the necropolis of Duvanli contained "splendid sets of head and body ornaments, consisting of numerous hoop or boat-shaped earrings, pendants for earrings, a necklace, a torque"[8] Michael Zahrnt characterized Cotys I as "the right man to strengthen the run-down Odrysian realm, vigorous, and an artful diplomat".[3] Gold funeral masks of fine craftsmanship were discovered in two burials, one at Svetitsa from the second half of the 5th century BC and another at Dalakova from the early 4th century BC.[9]
