Such a privilege to have seen the bronze portrait head of the Thracian king Seuthes III, discovered in 2004 in the Golyama Kosmatka tumulus in Bulgaria. It was ripped from the body of a statue, no trace of which was found in the tumulus. #archaeology. 1/ ca. 310-300 BCE 📸 me

La cabeza es magnífica y sus rasgos muy bellos. No sé si en realidad el rey Seutes III era tan potente.

He stood between the Macedonians, under Alexander the Great, and the other Thracian kingdoms, performing an impressive balancing act. There’s a lot we don’t know about his reign, but he was clearly powerful enough to receive incredible grave goods.
