  • ... that Gold wreaths from Thrace (pictured) found in mounds and tombs belonged to the latter half of the 4th century and early part 3rd century BC, and again from 1st century BC to 2nd century AD ?

  • As usual from this source, a scrappy article that needs work. The first sentence is inaccurate for a start - ancient Thrace is in 3 modern countries at least. Dreadful hook. Johnbod (talk) 17:19, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
  • I have now fixed the disambiguation to Thrace. Sorry about missing it. SusunW has now edited the article and I have added her name to the credit list. We could not find more references on the subject. Instead of the original hook I am now suggesting the following two alt hooks.Nvvchar. 06:09, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Alt1.... that a golden wreath (pictured), found in 2005 in the tomb of a Thracian ruler in Southeastern Bulgaria, was dated to the middle of 4th century BC?

Alt2 ... that a gold wreath from Thrace was recovered from an auction in 2015 and returned to Bulgaria’s National Museum of History?

  • This article is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT1 which has an inline citation to a reliable source. The image is of this particular wreath and is appropriately licensed. The article is neutral and I did not detect any copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:51, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
