THREE EXAMPLES: MARCA \u2013 SF\u0102R\u0102UA\u0218 I, POR\u021a \u2013 LA BARAJ AND AGHIRE\u0218 \u2013 SUB P\u0102\u0218UNE<\/a><\/summary>\n<p><em>The aim of this contribution is to present a synthetic but detailed exposition of the little historical evidence regarding the kingdoms of Hellenistic Thrace. The principal kingdoms attested in Thrace during the Hellenistic period are: the Celtic kingdom with capital at Tylis (Tyle), the Odrysian residual kingdom around Seuthopolis, the kingdom of Cabyle also probably related to the Odrysian, the principality of king Sadalas, the principality of Diegylis. The evidence concerning these kingdoms is very scanty. A special focus will be made on the most important epigraphical sources related to these events: the great Seuthopolis inscription, a fragmentary decree from Apollonia Pontica in which is mentioned Cotys, the Mesembrian decree for Sadalas that is an inscription whose date remains debatable. Also interesting are the relations in this period between Thrace and the most important Hellenistic kingdoms. Military campaigns were made in Thrace by the Seleucid kings, Antiochus II Theos and Antiochus III the Great. Also very intense was the military activity in Thrace of the Ptolemaic king Ptolemy III Evergetes. Later at the end of the third century BC the decline of the Ptolemaic kingdom under Ptolemy IV made possible an intervention policy of the Antigonid king Philip V in the area. Ample space will also be reserved to the analysis of the relations between Thracian kingdoms and the Hellenistic kingdom of Bithynia. Also in this case the evidence is quite small, but are really interesting the figures of Cavarus, king of the Celtic kingdom of Thrace, who acts as a mediator in the war between Prusias I and Byzantium and of Diegylis, Thracian chieftain who helps Prusias II in the civil war against his son Nicomedes II.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Dan B\u0102CUE\u021a-CRI\u0218AN<\/strong><br>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><a href=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-4.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-4.pdf\">ON THE NORTHERN BOUNDARIES OF THE VISTULANS<\/a><\/summary>\n<p><em>The purpose of this paper is twofold: one the one hand, it presents the results of a new systematic archaeological excavation that has been taking place since 2016 near the village of Neo Rysio, about 17 km south-southeast of Thessaloniki. The site, called \u201cTrapeza of Neo Rysio \u2013 Kardia\u201d, has until now yielded architectural remains and finds of several categories belonging to a settlement that was in use in Early Iron Age and the Archaic period. On the other hand, it attempts an approach to the well-known question of the time during which the regions to the East of the Axios River passed under Macedonian control. The reason for the latter is that the abandonment of the specific settlement, according to its finds so far, and the coming of the area under Macedonian control, according to the recent research, appear to have taken place in the same period.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Rados\u0142aw LIWOCH<\/strong><br><strong>Bart\u0142omiej Szymon SZMONIEWSKI<\/strong><br>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><a href=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-5.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-5.pdf\">ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA ON EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE 9TH\u201310TH CENTURIES UNFORTIFIED SETTLEMENT NEAR THE TOWN OF MIZIA, VRATSA REGION<\/a><\/summary>\n<p><em>The Karian dynast Olympichos was formerly said to be of Alinda, though more likely hailed from Mylasa. He entered the historical stage by expelling Ptolemaic garrisons from Mylasa around 244 BC. He acted as an official of Seleukos II (246\u2013225), even though the king was distant and fighting to re-establish his own royal authority in Syria. Olympichos probably acknowledged Antiochos Hierax as king, when Seleukos ceded his brother the Anatolian territories in 242. As of 227, he began to cooperate with Antigonos Doson (229\u2013222), when this one took over Karia. Olympichos maintained his pre-eminence also under Philip V (222\u2013179). Soon after 220, we lose his traces in the historical record, except for a recently discovered inscription, which proves that he was still honoured in the later 2nd century BC. Besides his military and economic resources, his diplomatic skills permitted him to navigate smoothly between the demands of the (not always powerful) kings and queens on the one hand and the needs of the populace on the other. The purchase of estates from queen Laodike, the wife of Antiochos Hierax, probably around 242 and the grant of part of it to the sanctuary of Zeus Osogoa of Labraunda exemplify how he succeeded in establishing bonds of loyalty with the upper and lower levels.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Aleksandra PETROVA<\/strong><br><strong>Maria CHRISTOVA-PENKOVA<\/strong><br>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><a href=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-6.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-6.pdf\">WHAT CAN EARLY MEDIEVAL HOARDS FROM PONTES TEACH US ABOUT RELIGIOUS AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN TURBULENT TIMES?<\/a><\/summary>\n<p><em>This contribution presents some new artifacts produced in the Scythian animal style together with a casting mold that were found at Olbia Pontica.

The inscription records the passing of Mitris, the only son of Myndies, who died \u2018unfairly\u2019 during the grape harvest season. This temporal reference hints at the importance of viniculture in the socio-economic life of Sinope. Not only is this stele a valuable addition to the corpus of funerary monuments from Sinope, it also contributes to a broader discussion on the ambiguity of inscriptions and figured scenes on grave monuments.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>George BILAVSCHI<\/strong><br><strong>Andrei BALTAG<br>&#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><a href=\"https:\/\/revistapontica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/pontica-57-suppl-xi-19.pdf\">ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF (UN)SOLITUDE: PETRE DIACONU (1924\u20132007)<\/a><\/summary>\n<p><em>Four inscriptions dating from the 4th century BC, found in Pantikapaion, Phanagoria, and Olbia, represent a small corpus attesting to the existence of contacts between Arkadia and the Greek cities on the North Pontic coast. The one found in Pantikapaion in 1829 \u2013 a fragmentary honorary decree of the Arkadians for Leukon I \u2013 was amply discussed in modern literature, whereas the others were only briefly examined in relation to it. Two main conflicting interpretations were advanced: either one or more bands of Arkadian mercenaries served Leukon I and honored him by erecting the inscription from Pantikapaion, or the Arkadian League that functioned in the 360s BC developed political and commercial ties with the Bosporan Kingdom and Olbia, probably centred on obtaining better conditions for the grain trade, which might explain the enactment of the honorary decree. A few additional epigraphic and historical remarks included in the present paper support the mercenary hypothesis. However, the wider perspective on the recruitment of foreign troops in the 4th century BC shows that the military ties between Bosporos and Arkadia could have been doubled by commercial ones, too.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Oana DAMIAN<\/strong><br>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">SUMAR<br>&#8211;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper presents an analysis of the use of the word \u1f20\u03ca\u03ce\u03bd in Greek literature from Homer to Byzantine time.
