It was found that the Byzantine wall is built on the foundations of the wall of classical times that probably belonged to the acropolis of Abdera besause of an investigation made by a local incision, (Bakirtzis 1982, pp. 25). A treasure of copper coins of the emperor Michael IV Paphlagon (1034 - 1041), which found in the internal side of the wall, leads to the view that the Byzantine walls were erected in the 11th century. References from Kantakouzenos (II, 226) and Gregoras (II, 626) on the reconstruction of the walls during the first half of the 14th century are probably about repairs (Bakirtzis 1982, pp. 25).
