Summary/Abstract: The term “The Valley of the Thracian Kings” covers the territory of the present-day municipalities of Pavel Banya, Kazanluk and Muglizh in Central Bulgaria. The name is well deserved because of the Kazanluk Tomb, an UNESCO site, the capital city of the Thracian ruler Seuthes III, now under the waters of the Koprinka Dam, as well as because of the discovered numerous temple-tombs under tumuli that are relatively well preserved and display a great architectural variety.Conclusions about the armor of the Odrysian kings of the late 5th through the late 4th and early 3rd century BC have been made due to the finds from two hallmark archaeological complexes in the Golyama Kosmatka and in the Svetitsata Tumuli.
