Although the Thracian region is vast and sparsely populated, the barbarian cavalry can come and go like the wind in those plains and river valleys.
For a civilized world dominated by heavy infantry, conquering them is more difficult than conquering the northern barbarians.
On the other hand, further east, on the other side of the strait, the land was fertile and suitable for farming, and the geographical location was also extremely advantageous. This was the territory of the Eastern great power Troy.
The city of Troy, which guards the Dardanelles, and the city of Byzantium, which guards the Bosphorus, are both first-class giant cities in the East!
