Seuthopolis was an ancient Hellenistic city founded by the Thracian king Seuthes III between 325–315 BC which was the capital of the Odrysian kingdom [1]. Seuthopolis was not a true polis, but rather the seat of Seuthes and his court [1]. The cemetery of Seuthopolis included a number of brick tholos tombs, some covered by tumuli, in which the upper-class were interred, sometimes along with their horses [1].
