Antiquity
The Thracians, the earliest known identifiable people to inhabit the present-day territory of Bulgaria, have left traceable marks among all the Balkan region despite its tumultuous history of many conquests.The Panagyuriste treasure ranks as one of the most splendid achievements of the Thracian culture.
The Thracians lived divided into numerous separate tribes until King Teres united most of them around 500 BC in the Odrysian kingdom, which peaked under the kings Sitalces and Cotys I (383-359 BC). In 188 BC, the Romans invaded Thrace, and the wars with them continued to 45. Rome never conquered Thrace: a ceasefire allowed the Thracians to keep all their privileges and religious freedoms in exchange for accepting Roman administration.Slavs overran this region in the mid-7th century.
