Apollonia of Thrace

Apollonia of Thrace was an ancient city located in the northern part of Greece, near the modern-day Bulgaria border. It was founded around the 7th century BCE by Greek colonists and became an important cultural and commercial hub due to its strategic position. The city was known for its involvement in regional politics and trade, often interacting with other Greek and Thracian tribes. Over time, Apollonia played a role in historical events, including conflicts and alliances, and its archaeological remains provide insight into ancient Greek urban life in the Thracian area.
