Konstantin Boshnakov – författare

A groundbreaking exploration of Early Hellenistic Thrace emerges from Boshnakov's identifications and reinterpretations of Greek inscriptions found at the Odrysian residence of Seuthopolis and at major monumental tombs, including those of Seuthes III, Sveshtari, Alexandrovo, and Kazanlak. Central to the study is the discovery of the dipinti in the vaulted chamber of the Kazanlak Tomb, naming the Thracian artist Kozimases, painter of the frescoes, and Rhoigos, son of Seuthes III evidence that reshapes our understanding of Thracian kingship, artistic identity, and cultural exchange. Integrating epigraphic, archaeological, numismatic, and literary data, the e-book reconstructs a vivid narrative of dynastic struggles, renewed integrity, political alliances, and artistic innovation. It shows how Thracian elites among the Odrysians and the Getae used Greek as a pragmatic and strategic language while preserving deep-rooted traditions. Through its interdisciplinary approach, extensive visual documentation, and fresh interpretations of inscriptions long considered unreadable or enigmatic, this work opens a new chapter in Thracian history and invites readers to rethink the region's place in the Hellenistic world.
