Thracia was the country east of Macedonia, bounded on the north by the Danube and on the south by the Aegean Sea, the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora, and the territory of Bithynia.
In the beginning the name Thracia was refered to in a very loose and vague fashion. Even the Macedonians were sometimes spoken of as a tribe of Thrace, which in that case simply meant the land north-east of Greece.
