 I think a shade-in would be very appropriate.  I discovered an article which gives the line of the Bugar-Byzantine border (also demarcated by ""The Great Fence"") in the time of Khagan Omurtag: From Develtus to Makrolivada (now Gara Zlati Dol) on the Maritza River thence to a fortress towards the mountains NORTH of Philippopolis (ie this city was Byzantine).
