“The burial chamber itself is a beehive-shaped tholos. Inside it, archaeologists found fragments of a crown and an amphora, but the more important discovery was the bones of two people, a man and a woman, believed to have lived in the early third century BC. Many believe that the men remains are those of Prince Roigos, son of Seutus III, and that the female bones belong to his wife.”


The painted ceiling of the Kazanlak tomb’s burial chamber features its most celebrated image: a couple at a banquet surrounded by servants, musicians, and a chariot.
