It covers an innumerable population that inhabitated vast territories in Europe: from the northeastern Dnieper-Dniester areas to the lands between the rivers Strymon, Axios in the southwest, annd from there to Northwestern Asia Minos.
This book is composed on the occasion of the Eigth International Congress on Thracology, in 2000. Is also an academic achievement of a smal team that worked under the appointment and with the support of the International Foundation Europa Antigua.
