Hello,
neither the booklet of Duridanov on the Thracian language nor the
multivolume History of Bulgaria from the 80's whose materials
(text,
pictures) I used to compile the page on Duridanov's interpretation of
the Ezero ring mention anything being written at the back side of the
disc. The pictures of the ring from kazanlak.com are temporarily
available at
http://www.kroraina.com/thracia/kalo/ , at the very end
of the page.
However, it appears that kazanlak.com have put scans of a _silver
copy_ of the ring. Some differences crop out when compared with the
pictures of the original golden ring. It seems the author of these
scans of "silver Thracian rings" is a local jeweller. If so, they
have been inappropriately placed in the gallery documenting the
important recent discovery near Kazanlak of the tomb of Seuthes III,
an Odryssian dynast from the time of the diadochi and an adversary of
Lysimachus. A very unpleasant story, I am still trying to get to the
bottom it. Sorry about the mess.
Regards,
Vassil
