During the centuries of pre-Hellenism (mid-6th century BC until the ’thirties of the 4th century BC), the two most important characteristics of the period developed, namely those of polis and of empire. Both state forms – polis and ethnos – tried to act as empires. The picture of Thracian society in Southeastern Europe during the period of Hellenism (the ’thirties of the 4th century BC until 27 BC) and post-Hellenism (late 1st century BC – end of 2nd century AD) was different compared to known pictures in Macedonia and Hellas. The main difference consists in the fact that in Thrace – in addition to the monarchic early class empires like the kingdoms of the Odrysae and of the Getae – there were many more ethnic communities (of the Bessi, Dardanioi, Maidoi, etc.), who tried to be an integral part of the historical period by constantly trying to become early class monarchic empires. The transition of Thrace from Antiquity to Middle Ages was facilitated because despite the existence of free people and slaves, the prevalent part of its population had various forms of dependences. The transformation of society occurred in the 4th and 5th centuries, when free men and slaves became dependent and that marked the end of the history of ancient Thrace as a part of the history of the Old World.

The Western and Central European travelers visiting the Balkan Peninsula from the 16th until the 19th century provide very important sources for the history of time in the region. Their time-sensitive and “outsider” position enables them to offer valuable information pertaining to time-keeping practices in the region, the “spread” of clock towers and the diffusion of watches, or the pace and geography of the use of the European timekeeping system. However, alongside their informative function, the writings of the European travelers contribute crucially to the construction of the region’s temporal “otherness” vis-à-vis “civilized” Europe. They create and convey to their ever expanding reader public a multitude of visual and acoustic representations which underpin and re-enact “the non-simultaneity” of the region and its culture. The purpose of the paper is to highlight, through the use of several examples drawn out from a large body of data, the main time related topics present in Western travelogues about the Balkans and inquire into the discursive processes and mechanisms employed in the construction of the region’s temporal “otherness”.
