Summary/Abstract: During the 3rd century BC – first half of the 1st century AD, Thrace and its Black Sea coast continued the tradition established in the 5th-4th century BC, consisting in mutually beneficial coexistence and cooperation between polis and ethnos states, with definite domination of the Thracian rulers over the Greek poleis. However, the Greek states preserved their autonomy to a great extent. That line of behaviour in the relations between polis and ethnos, which had become traditional, was to end with the liquidation of the Thracian states by Rome and their transformation into Roman provinces.
