This famous amphora was found near Borovo in 1974, and is in the Rousse Regional Historical Museum. I have tried in vain to discover who took this excellent photograph, but I will acknowledge him (or her) when I manage to find out.

Archaeologists have discovered a 2,400-year-old golden hoard in an ancient Greek tomb in Bulgaria. Gold jewellery was among the artifacts including four bracelets and a ring.
The Thracians were numerous tribes that inhabited the Balkans and largely what is now considered Bulgaria. The Thracians were known for their excellent warrior skills, their craftsmanship and for being avid wine makers and wine drinkers!
The Thracians The ancient Greeks used the names Traike (Thraike), Treike (Threike), Trek or Threke to refer to the areas northeast of their own lands on the Balkan Peninsula. The Thracians themselves were originally Indo-European tribes. There are different theories for their origin.

Herodotus wrote that “[the] Thracians are the second largest ethnos – the first one is India. In different areas the Thracian community is named in various ways. However, the manners and customs of the whole nation are the same everywhere.” At first, the Thracians existed in separate tribes. They did not form real states until the end of the second and the beginning of the first millennium BC. These small states were also mostly tribal at first. Some tribal leaders gathered more power than others and then handed it down their line. The first Thracian state that […]

Treasure hunters have plundered many of Bulgaria’s thousands of archaeological sites, but the tomb of an ancient Thracian family containing the remains of a princess, a child and what researchers call a spiritual man has been spared. In the man’s tomb, archaeologists found a clay vessel that had once contained balsam upon which was written, apparently accidentally, a fragment of Solon’s poem “Prayer to the Muses.”
