Description[]
To Thracians, horses were both objects of devotion and formidable instruments of war. The Horseman cult, which emerged in Thrace in Palaeolithic times, endured throughout the region's history: through religious syncretism, imagery of the Thracian Rider survived well into the Roman era, and the motif is still found today in the Christian Orthodox iconography of Saint George and Saint Demetrius.
