A COMPANION TO ANCIENT THRACE

EDITED BY JULIA VALEVA, EMIL NANKOV, AND DENVER GRANINGER

A Companion to Ancient Thrace presents an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the social and cultural complexity of the ancient Indo-European peoples inhabiting the Balkan periphery of the Classical world. Although the Thracians have often had limited interest from Western scholars, recent discoveries in archaeology and other fields have brought about an interdisciplinary reappraisal of this powerful ancient culture.

Featuring contributions from leading scholars in Thracian archaeology, art, and history, the essays focus primarily on the five centuries of Classical and Hellenistic Thrace. Other readings consider problems of continuity and discontinuity with the preceding Early Iron Age and the succeeding Roman Imperial period. By shedding new light on the spread of Thrace's cultural influences beyond its borders to the eastern Mediterranean and European worlds, A Companion to Ancient Thrace sets a new standard in Thracian scholarship while furthering our understanding of antiquity.
