History, maps and ancient tribes: "Territory of the Thracian tribes and the regions of Dacia, Moesia and Thracia (c. 6th cent. BC - 3rd/4th cents. AD)" (source: Burian, J., Schön, F. & Wittke, A., 2006. Moesi, Moesia. In Brill's New Pauly Online. Brill.)

This map illustrates the evolving geopolitics of Southeastern Europe over nearly a millennium, detailing the lands inhabited by the ancient Thracian tribes and their subsequent integration into the Roman Empire. Extending from the Carpathian Mountains in the north to the Aegean Sea in the south, and bounded by the Black Sea to the east, this pivotal crossroads bridged Europe and Anatolia.

In the early classical period, the region was populated by a vast network of culturally linked Indo-European tribes collectively recognized as Thracians. Notable sub-groups included the Odrysians in the south, who established the powerful Odrysian Kingdom in the 5th century BC, and the Moesi along the Danube. North of the Danube, the Getae and Dacians inhabited the mineral-rich landscapes of the Carpathians, achieving significant unity under King Burebista in the 1st century BC.

Later, as Roman expansion reached the Balkans, tribal territories were systematically organized into imperial provinces:
a) Thracia: Formed in 46 AD after the fall of the Sapaean kingdom, securing the strategic approach to the Bosporus.
b) Moesia: Established along the Danube frontier to safeguard the empire's northern boundary, later split into Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior.
c) Dacia: Incorporated following Emperor Trajan’s campaigns (101–106 AD), transforming the region into a crucial outpost for Roman gold mining and military defense.

This map shows the number people who agree/disagree with statement that "same-sex marriage should be legal across Europe".

There is the obvious East/West divide, although it has shifted further east in recent years.

For example, in Poland there is now a slim majority in support of gay marriage.

In the former Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic now has 60% support while Slovakia remains at 60% opposed. (Yet it's not legal in either)

Similar divides can be seen in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire where 65% support it in Austria (legal), with 52% opposed in Hungary.

And the most dramatic of all is the former Yugoslavia where Slovenia is the lone supporter (and has also already legalised it) and all the other states oppose it.

Finally, Estonia is notable as being the only country where same-sex marriage is legal, but a majority of people do not yet support it.
