<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 2885212, member: 80147&quot;]Another important city near Anchialos was Augusta Traiana here is some info on how this city came about. As the Odrysian kingdom&#039;s self-independence was abolished in 45 AD, Anchialos became part of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_province" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_province" rel="nofollow">Roman province</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrace" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrace" rel="nofollow">Thrace</a> and was formally proclaimed a city under Emperor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan" rel="nofollow">Trajan</a>. At the time the city controlled a vast territory bordering that of Augusta Traiana (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stara_Zagora" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stara_Zagora" rel="nofollow">Stara Zagora</a>) and reaching the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tundzha" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tundzha" rel="nofollow">Tundzha</a> to the west, bordering that of Mesembria to the north and the southern shore of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Burgas" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Burgas" rel="nofollow">Lake Burgas</a> to the south. Source Wikipedia. The coinage of city gate&#039;s closely resembled that of Anchialos, except for a third tower rising from centre.
