Artefacts
from the Continental Cultural Frontiers
European Cultural Frontiers: The South-Western Continental
Perimeter
Continental Cultural Frontiers of Europe, as distinct
from its extensive maritime ones, also possesses a frontier
in Thrace. It is formed by the eastern land borders
of Greece and Bulgaria. This frontier lies further north
than the Armenian one and is less strategic. It is also
restricted geographically by maritime barriers. Consequently,
except for communications purposes, it possesses a cul-de-sac
impediment. In the past, however, the region has been
an important platform for such prestigious "Greats"
as Alexander and Constantine. The time spanning the
two can be classified as the "dynamic ascendancy
of the Greco-Roman world".
