Th e Byzantines possessed a fertile territory in their hinterland, but had diffi culty in cultivating it thanks to the ferocious Th racian tribes living on their borders. Th e emergence of the Odrysian Kingdom in Th race in 470’s and its expansion in Th race resulted, at least for a certain period of time, in restraining the neigboring tribes of the Byzantines. It was precisely at this time in 426 that Byzantines took advantage of their fertile khora to its full extent, exporting grain to the other Greek poleis with the permission of the Athenians, as a decree of the Athenian Assembly IG I.3.61 shows

IG I.3 61, Byzantion ve Odrys Krallığı

Öz

Hinterlandından bereketli topraklara sahip olan Byzantion, her zaman bu topraklardan verim alamamıştır. Zira Th rak kabileler, sürekli bu toprakları istila etmiş ve yağmalamışlardır. Th rakia’da MÖ 5. yüzyıl ortalarında Odrys Krallığı’nın ortaya çıkışı ve dolayısıyla hinterlandındaki kabilelerin merkezi bir krallığa tabi olması Byzantion’u rahatlatmıştır. Odrys Krallığı’nın en güçlü olduğu dönemde, 426 yılında Atina Halk Meclisi’nin Byzantion’un tahıl ihracatı ile ilgili aldığı bir karar IG I3.61 , kentin bereketli hinterlandından tam verim aldığına işaret eder

Anahtar Kelimeler

Byzantion, Th rakia, tahıl üretimi, Odrys Krallığı, Atina
