If anyone can figure a way to work this into the article, it is pretty interesting: "Abdera was a city in Thrace, whose inhabitants bore the brunt of dumb-ethnic jokes since at least the days of Cicero in the first century BCE." according to [1] Recury (talk) 18:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is serious effort, here, Recury. We don't need trouble-making jokes that aren't really jokes, but something else in disguise. Find some other passtime.Botteville (talk) 21:17, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenicians?

[edit]

Head notes that Abdera's currency was on the Phoenician standard and offers that it may have had a Phoenician trading colony in/alongside the Greek one. It seems to fit the name, in any case. — LlywelynII 00:52, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
