Thracians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Thracians were an Indo-European people, inhabitants of Thrace and adjacent lands (present-day Bulgaria, Romania, Republic of Moldova, northeastern Greece, European Turkey and northwestern asiatic Turkey, Serbia and parts of Republic of Macedonia). They spoke the Thracian language........

The origins of the Thracians are obscure. They emerge into history from the 6th century BC, occupying the area east and north of the Black Sea. Their migration into the Balkans and Eastern Europe is sometimes associated with the Cimmerian raids into Anatolia in the 8th century BC.

In the 5th millennium BC, Thracians occupied the area between northern Greece and southern Russia. By the 5th century BC, the Thracian presence was pervasive enough to have made Herodotus call them the second-most numerous people in the known world, and potentially the most powerful, if not for their disunity.
