Tylis (Greek: Τύλις) or Tyle was a capital of a short-lived Balkan state mentioned by Polybius1 that was founded by Celts led by Comontorios in the 3rd century BC, after their invasion of Thrace and Greece in 280 BC.2 It was located by the Haemus Mountains in what is now eastern Bulgaria. The bands of Celts that did not settle in Thrace, crossed into Asia Minor to become known as the Galatians. The city of Tylis was eventually destroyed by the Thracians in 212 BC.2 The modern Bulgarian village of Tulovo in Stara Zagora Province now occupies the site.3
