Abstract:

The article deals with the history of commercial contacts between Northern and Southern Bulgaria (Thrace) from antiquity to the present day, focusing on the trade routes between the towns of Omurtag and Kotel. The geographic location of the Kotel Pass in particular, which linked the two towns across the Balkan Mountains, made it an important trade route as well as a strategic military line of communication.
