History and archeology
On the top one was in the ancient Thracian residence and an important place of worship , the Apollon Karneios was dedicated. Archaeological finds prove a settlement from the Early Copper Age to the Roman period. It is believed that the princes who resided on the summit ruled the territory west of the Greek poleis of Apollonia and Mesembria and carried on brisk trade with them.
An ancient Greek inscription from the middle of the 3rd century BC. BC, which was found in Sladkite Kladenzi in what is now the Pobeda district , says that Raiskuporis, son of King Kotys, who was sent as a hostage, stayed in the city after time had passed. Some scholars, such as Ivan Karajotov, associate this inscription with the Thracian residence and assume that the port and Thracian settlement in the Sladkite kladenzi area , which dates from the 6th to the 2nd century BC. BC served as the emporion (market) of Apollonia, the residence on which Schiloto was subordinate. The Thracian settlements at the later Aquae Calidae baths , in today's Isgrew district and at Cape Akrotir, southwest of Anchialos (today Pomorie ) could have been under the rule of the Shiloto princes.
During excavations, local Greek and imported ceramics as well as silver coins of the Odrysian King Kotys I (383 / 2-360 / 59 BC), a bronze coin of King Mostis (125-86 BC) and a large number of silver coins were found. and bronze coins from Apollonia and Mesembria found. In 2000, Petia Kijaschkina discovered a votive relief of a Thracian rider and a statue of Apollon Kitharoidos .
