Thrace 

The Thrace area has been under control of many different rulers. Greek colonies were founded in the 6th century BC, the area was ruled by Persia for some 30 years, and later conquered by the Macedonians, the Romans, Byzantium, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Turks.

We always spoke French together, poetry. It is for this reason that I give his sayings in the made me afraid, and told me how Chopin caused Clementi, Hummel, own compositions. This was not the case.
