Obzor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obzor (Bulgarian: Обзор; Greek: Naulochos, Tetranaulochos, Latin: Naulochus, Tetranaulochus, or Templum Iovis) is a town and seaside resort in Bulgaria on the Black Sea coast.
The Thracian and Greek name of Obzor was Naulochos, a small port on the coast of Thrace, a colony of Mesembria. The ancient Romans named it Templum Iovis (Temple of Jupiter); Pliny called it Tetranaulochus. (Strabo vii. p. 319, ix. p. 440; Plin. iv. 11. s. 18.)
