Tylis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tylis was short-lived city-state founded by the Celts lead by Comontorios in what is now Eastern Bulgaria in the 3rd century BC, after their invasion of 280 BC.

The part of the Celts that did not settle in Tylis, crossed into Asia Minor to become known as the Galatians. The city-state of Tylis was eventually destroyed by the Thracians in 212 BC.

Tile Ridge on Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named for Tylis.
