[Bibliography]

The Horses and Wagons in the Ancient World. Papers are the proceedings of the daily Scientific Meeting organized in Orestiada on September 30, 2006.

The 19th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities (Thrace) began excavating the burial tumulus of Mikri Doxipara-Zoni in September 2002. The discovery of five Roman wagons and their draught animals –the first of its kind in Greece– attracted the interest of both the public and the scholarly community from early on in the excavation process. The continuation and completion of research and the enhancement of the finds from the burial tumulus have been included in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s Management Fund for Archaeological Projects (T.D.P.E.A.E.).

The goal of the Scientific Meeting held in Orestiada four years after excavations began was to announce the initials conclusions concerning the wagons and horses in the tumulus and to approach the theme of wheeled vehicles in Antiquity with the aid of iconography, the ancient sources, and the archaeological finds. The present volume, which also includes a number of additional texts on the tumulus of Mikri Doxipara-Zoni, represents the fruits of this Meeting.

The Scientific Meeting would not have been possible without the financial contribution of the Regional Association of Municipalities and Communities of the Prefecture of Evros, the Prefectural District of Evros, the Municipality of Orestiada, and the Municipality of Kyprinos. Interest of the part of Perfect Nikos Zambounidis led to the Prefectural District of Evros’ funding the publication of the Proceedings.
