Here is the site of ancient Abdera.One of the images was taken in Thrace, in 1904, by the founder of the Christian Archaeological Society, George Lampakis. The extent of the area included in the photo,reminds us of the ancient times,and of the malicious recommendation of the cynic philosopher Diogenes, to the people of Abdera: that is to be careful,not to let the city out,from the arrogantly big and spacious gate,that they had built at the walls of their city. However,we should imagine that the extent of the ancient city,was much larger than that shown in the photo of Lampakis.
