Years: 597BCE - 586BCE
Mesembria, originally a Thracian settlement known as Menebria, becomes a Greek colony when settled by Dorians from Megara at the beginning of the sixth century BCE, and is to be an important trading center from this point forward and a rival of Antheia, later to be known as Apollonia (present Sozopol).
It remains the only Doric colony along the Black Sea coast, as the rest are typical Ionic colonies.
