The ancient land of Thrace, (comprising present-day Bulgaria and parts of Romania, Greece, and Turkey), was home to a tribal culture renowned for their skill as warriors and horsemen, as well as for their wealth in precious metals. Thracians produced superb gold, silver, and bronze works used in aristocratic pursuits, such as warfare, horsemanship, and banqueting. This exhibition features many objects that were discovered in Thracian lands during modern times, shedding light on this little-known culture and its interactions with Greece, Persia, and Rome over the course of two millennia (about 1700 BCE–300 CE).
