I just wonder: how could Cotys VI (180 BC-168 BC) be father of Cotys VII (57 BC- 48 BC); if the latter regined a hundred years after his father ? --

Infobox
Sorry, i hadnt realised we put the infobox in all modern countries that coincide with a geographical location.Are we going to put Turkey,Greece and any other states that have parts that coincide with the location?

No broblems. If this countries and their people identify themselves with the Odrysian kingdom, what is the problem?

Are you serious?What you are saying is what is "pov"...among other things.Also the map is just bad, as if its made in ms- paint.The other map is clear and you can tell things apart on it clearly.

That written above all is only your POV, for example.

Also we dont put ancient macedonian history infobox in the republic of macedonia articles as they are bulgarians/slavs however you want it.Same applies here.Articles are not written on imagination or what people "identify themselves with" as than all wikipedia would have to change.

Uscudama
Uscudama seems to be the Bessi capital
The History of Rome, Volume 4 by Theodor Mommsen , 2009, page 53: "... defeated the Bessi in their mountains, took their capital Uscudama (Adrianople), and compelled them to submit to the Roman supremacy.
History of Rome by Mandell Creighton - 1912 - page 307... defeated the Bessi in their mountains, took their capital Uscudama
The cities of the eastern Roman provinces - page 14
by Arnold Hugh Martin Jones - 1971 ,"In 71 BC Marcus Lucullus, according to Eutropius, defeated the Bessi in the
Haemus and captured their town, Uscudama"

Odrysian kings
Odrysian_kingdom#List_of_Odrysian_kings, this part of the article still needs alot of work. While many data is offered here
reference it needs to be cross-referenced with other sources and all kings, not just nobles need to go in. Possible dates have to be corrected and each article on these individuals fixed. Many of them have similar names and there are many I, II or II Odrysians having the same name. This makes it confusing so any help is welcome.
Usefull sources in English, other then the combined data on the pdf, are ;
Archibald, Z., The Odrysian kingdom of Thrace, Oxford, 1998
Sullivan, R., Near Eastern Royalty and Rome, Toronto, 1990
Its today territory was not included into the borders of the Kingdom, even partially.

Odrysian vs. Thracian
It's confusing to read this article because sometimes Odrysian sounds like it is the same as Thracian (Odrysian=Thracian) and other times it sounds like "Some Thracians are Odrysians but not all Thracians are Odrysians." Can this be made clearer?

Map has to go
The Odrysian Kingdom is described in most sources as highland and all sources as inland. During the entire period the Black Sea coast was Greek. If someone wants to make a proper map for this go ahead, but the current map is not supported by the facts15:45, 30 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding

This map was discussed and is created on the base of reliable sources. Do not remove it without to reach a consensuss. Thank you.

Category:Ancient Greek kingdoms added by bot
Bot named
User:JJMC89 has re-added several times this new category to this article but it is irrelevant. How to deal with this case?
Jingiby (
talk) 15:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC)reply
Jingiby It was likely because of the red linked category, now also removed by me.--
Calthinus (
talk) 00:48, 7 November 2019 (UTC)reply
Yeah this is a case where one applied but the other didn't. This is a kingdom that interacted with the Hellenic world of antiquity, but was not itself Greek, but Thracian.--
Calthinus (
talk) 02:05, 7 November 2019 (UTC)reply
JJMC89, sorry about the bot, but this change of categories is not correct, because, as mentioned by
Calthinus above, this kingdom was not Hellenic.

While this article has been expanded, it is not a five-fold expansion. The article had
9,079 characters of prose before expansion began and has 20,492 now. Also, the expansion began on December 9, and this was just nominated now on December 25, so it is a 2x expansion in the course of over two weeks. Keep at it and perhaps this article can become
