Odessos, an ancient Greek (of the city of Miletus) trading
colony (apoikia), was founded about 570 BC (in the time of Astyages) on the site
of an older Thracian settlement on Cape Varna (in the modern city centre). The
name Odessos, first mentioned by Strabo, was pre-Greek, perhaps of Carian
origin. Long before the Thracians populated the area (by 1200 BC), prehistoric
settlements best known for the eneolithic necropolis, eponymous site of the
Varna culture and the alleged world’s oldest gold treasure (5th millennium BC
radiocarbon dating) existed within the modern city limits, notably along Lake
Varna shores. For centuries, Odessos was a contact zone between the urban
Ionians and the Thracians (Getae, Crobyzi, Terizi) of the hinterland. By the 4th
century BC, it had become a mixed Greco-Thracian community (see also Darzalas).

In 339, the city was unsuccessfully besieged by Philip II but surrendered to
Alexander the Great in 335, and was later ruled by his diadochus Lysimachus. The
Roman city, Odessus (annexed in 15 AD and included in the province of Moesia,
later Moesia Inferior), occupied 47 hectares in present-day central Varna and
had prominent public baths, Thermae, erected in the late 2nd century, now the
largest Roman remains in Bulgaria (the building was 100 m wide, 70 m long, and
20 m high) and fourth largest known Roman baths in Europe. The city was a
Christian centre, as testified by the impressive ruins of early basilicas,
monasteries, and indications that apostle Ampliatus (Амплий, Amply), disciple of
Saint Andrew, served as bishop there. In 442, a peace treaty between Theodosius
II and Attila was done at Odessus.
