A Companion to Ancient Thrace presents a series of essays that reveal the newly recognized complexity of the social and cultural phenomena of the peoples inhabiting the Balkan periphery of the Classical world.
• Features a rich and detailed overview of Thracian history from the Early Iron Age to Late Antiquity
• Includes contributions from leading scholars in the archaeology, art history, and general history of Thrace
• Balances consideration of material evidence relating to Ancient Thrace with more traditional literary sources
• Integrates a study of Thrace within a broad context that includes the cultures of the eastern Mediterranean, southwest Asia, and southeast Europe/Eurasia
• Reflects the impact of new theoretical approaches to economy, ethnicity, and cross-cultural interaction and hybridity in Ancient Thrace
"Despite the enormous volume of information and the extent of the topics covered in the Companion, the individual chapters show a remarkable cohesion.... Sincere praise is due to the editors for their achivement. The Companion offers a concise but reliable and often in-depth orientation for anyone researching Thracian matters and their connections to the neighboring cultures. I would strongly recommend its purchase...." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
“...a useful and engaging guide for students and academics alike interested in aspects of ancient Thrace, and adjacent cultures.” - Assemblage
"...this volume offers comprehensive and up-to-date essays on a variety of historical and socio-cultural issues that represent mainly contemporary Bulgarian scholarship on ancient Thrace...it largely fulfils what it promises and reveals potential for furtherbridging of the methodological insufficiency clearly inferred in a great number of texts."
