| | Thracian Tet Forgeries |
 | | Others have argued, however, that modern counterfeiting of Thracian tetradrachms isn't a serious problem because the market for authentic specimens is fairly narrow. | | | A number of modern forgeries of Thracian tetradrachms reportedly surfaced, for instance, at the 1997 ANA World's Fair of Money in New York. | | | This particular specimen has both types of cuts, and the reverse cut seems deliberately designed to emasculate the mighty Herakles. |

| | The Thracians were thus broken up into a large number of groups and tribes, though a number of powerful Thracian states were organized during some periods, such as the Odrysian kingdom of Thrace and the Dacia of Burebista. | | | This people, after crossing into Asia, took the name of Bithynians; before, they had been called Strymonians, while they dwelt upon the Strymon; whence, according to their own account, they had been driven out by the Mysians and Teucrians. | | | Josephus claims the founder of the Thracians was the biblical character Tiras, son of Japheth. |

| | Thrace - All About Turkey |
| | Many Greek colonies - e.g., Byzantium on the Hellespont and Tomi (modern Constanta) on the Black Sea - were founded in Thrace by c.600 B.C. The Greeks exploited Thracian gold and silver mines, and they recruited Thracians for their infantry. | | | Natural gas has been discovered lately in the region. | | | At the dawn of history the ancient Thracians, a group of tribes speaking an Indo-European language, extended as far west as the Adriatic Sea, but they were pushed eastward (c.1300 B.C.) by the Illyrians, and in the 5th century B.C. they lost their land west of the Struma (Strimón) River to Macedon. |
