Summary/Abstract: This specialised article represents a hypothetical attempt at summarising available data in archaeological publications concerning the links between extra-urban necropolises in the Thracia Province dating from the 1st‒3rd centuries AD and their synchronous settlement units: unfortified settlements, fortified settlements, villas and sanctuaries. This exhaustive research reveals the steady combination of components related to a settlement pattern, conditionally designated as “models”: “open unfortified settlement ‒ necropolis”, “fortified settlement ‒ necropolis”, “villa ‒ necropolis”, “village – necropolis – villa estate – tumular necropolis with rich graves”, “village ‒ necropolis ‒ villa estate ‒ tumular necropolis with rich graves ‒ sanctuary.”
