S/W-Abb./num. b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; broschiert/softcoverbulgarisch mit englischer Zusammenfassung /bulgarian with english summaryThe object of the study is the Odrysian dynasty, and the subject is the processes that took place in it (including its historical development) in the period from the middle of the 4th to the middle of the 2nd century BCE. The main focus is placed on the state and development of the dynastic house of the Odrysians in the period of the Macedonian hegemony in Thrace and the subsequent era of aspirations toward the Thracian lands by the Hellenistic states – an era that ended with the beginning of the establishment of the military-political presence of the Roman Republic over the territory of the Balkan Peninsula.

Farb-Abb. / num. colour figs., 30 x 22 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverbulgarisch mit englischer Zusammenfassungbulgarian with a summary in english The monograph examines 103 painted vessels discovered during the excavations of the necropolis of ancient Apollonia Pontica in the 1990s. The ceramic forms and images are examined in their archaeological and cultural-historical context. Created in classical Athens in the 5th-4th centuries BC, pictorial narratives on vessels played the role of one of the most influential media in the dissemination of the values of Athenian society. At the same time, they clearly capture the identity of the multicultural community that was formed on the territory of the Pontic city as a result of contacts with various centres in the Mediterranean world, with the inhabitants of Inner Thrace and with the powerful Thracian kingdoms in the area. The edition contains 233 illustrations and 10 tables with data on the context of the objects, the composition of the clay and statistical information.
