Kabile is the largest Thracian ancient city, the remains of which have survived to this day. Kabile is located near the city of Yambol The first archaeological studies on the territory of Kabile were carried out in 1912 by Prof. Bogdan Filov. In 1927, the territory on which Kabile was located was declared a national antiquity. According to ancient sources, Kabile was a center of particular importance for Southeastern Thrace. The city was founded around 2000 BC However, in addition to history, Kabile is also known for a beautiful legend. On one of the rocks is carved a relief image of the Great Mother of the Gods, Cybele. The Thracians believed that the goddess Cybele founded their city, which is why it was called Kabile. Kabile was also famous for its mint, the only one in Thrace where coins of bronze and silver were minted. The first coins that appeared with the image of a ruler were minted during the reign of King Spartok. During the reign of this ruler, its inhabitants enjoyed a good harvest and peace. One day, however, the king fell from a high cliff and died, and his death filled all the inhabitants of Kabile with sadness. Observing how the Thracians refused to return to their normal daily lives, the goddess Kabile intervened to restore their faith. Near the city were two massive fortresses, and the goddess promised that she would plant a vineyard next to them, from whose fruits they would be able to make juice, and the juice would bear the greatness of King Spartok. Then the priests of the city invented a ritual to wake up every morning and greet mother earth with songs until the fruits of the vineyard ripened. After some time, the vine began to give the sweetest and juiciest fruit, and the Thracians decided to turn it into juice, which they called wine. The drink turned the city into a trading center and thus became even richer and more prosperous. Since then, the region of the current city of Yambol has been famous as the successor to the ancient Thracian traditions in winemaking, dating back to the era of Kabyle, and the wine still preserves the divinity of the great Cybele. In 71 BC the city became part of the Roman Empire after being conquered by the army of Marcus Lucullus and after 45 AD it was part of the Roman province of Thrace. Kabyle was one of the main cities in its province after the reforms of Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century. Building inscriptions from the Roman emperors Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Caracalla, Alexander Severus, Aurelian, and Galerius have been preserved.
