Bergaios or Bergaeus (Greek: Βεργαίος), 400 - 350 BC, was a Thracian king in the Pangaian region. He is known mainly from the several types of coins that he struck, which resemble those of Thasos. Bergaios could mean literally, 'a man from Berge (Bisaltia) but the legend on the coin is a personal, not a place name^[1].
