Thracian Campaigns

The Thracian Campaigns refer to military operations conducted by various ancient empires, particularly the Roman Empire, against the Thracians, a group of tribes located in the region of modern-day Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. These campaigns, occurring primarily in the 1st century BCE to the 1st century CE, aimed to subdue the Thracians, who were known for their fierce resistance and warrior culture. The campaigns were part of Rome's broader strategy to secure its borders and expand its influence in the Balkans, ultimately leading to the incorporation of Thrace into the Roman Empire.
