    The historical boundaries of Thrace have varied.

    The ancient Greeks employed the term "Thrace"


    to refer to all of the territory which lay north of Thessaly inhabited by the Thracians,[7] a region
    which "had no definite boundaries" and to which other regions (like Macedonia and even
    Scythia) were added.[8] In one ancient Greek source, the very Earth is divided into "Asia, Libya,
    Europa and Thracia".[8] As the Greeks gained knowledge of world geography, "Thrace" came to
    designate the area bordered by the Danube on the north, by the Euxine Sea (Black Sea) on the
    east, by northern Macedonia in the south and by Illyria to the west.[8] This largely coincided
    with the Thracian Odrysian kingdom, whose borders varied over time. After the Macedonian
    conquest, this region's former border with Macedonia was shifted from the Struma River to the
    Mesta River.[9][10] This usage lasted until the Roman conquest. Henceforth, (classical) Thrace
    referred only to the tract of land largely covering the same extent of space as the modern
    geographical region.[clarification needed] In its early period, the Roman province of Thrace was
    of this extent, but after the administrative reforms of the late 3rd century, Thracia's much
    reduced territory became the six small provinces which constituted the Diocese of Thrace. The
    medieval Byzantine theme of Thrace contained only what today is Eastern Thrace.
