This first attempt for colonization failed, reasons behind this failure could be the pressure from the local Thracian tribes, but mainly, the unfavorable, climatic conditions, which caused fatal diseases to the population.

From the Archaic to the Roman years the city evolves and adapts to the demands of each era. The successive phases of occupation are often not easily comprehensible to the visitors. In the picture we see, at the first level, the wall of a building of the Roman Imperial period and at the second level, we see the quadrangular funerary monument base of the 1st century BC. At the third level we have the city walls of the 4th century, while in the background, houses of Roman imperial times. In the picture: a headstone, dated in the 2nd century BC which refers to Asklipiodoros’ son, Nicanor and his wife Mitrodora with the inscription: NICANOR ASKLIPIODOROU / MITRODORA ASKLIPIODOROU. Bone utensils,which were drug dozers during the Roman Imperial period. Various findings from the archaeological site as: a clay doll with movable parts (plagona), gold earrings, dices, clay figurines, and clay, baby rattles. They give us valuable information on the everyday life of the residents of ancient Abdera. They are exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Abdera. The mosaic depicting dolphins and lilies was found in a house floor, dated in the 3rd century BC and today it is exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Abdera. Besides the economic and urban development of the city, the sciences and the arts develop and the city becomes more widely known by the eminent Abderitians, who travel all over the known Greek world. During the first period of the city’s development, which is structurally defined by the North Precinct, the most famous, important Abderitians of the era were: the poet Anacreon, the sophist Protagoras, the father of atomic theory, Democritus and his teacher Leucippus, but also the politician Nymfodoros. Meanwhile, in the region, important historical events took place such as the passage of the Persians, initially with Darius and later Xerxes, and the participation of the city in the first Athenian Alliance. During the second time period of the city, which is structurally defined by the south precinct, where today lays the archaeological site, the most famous, important Abderitians are: Vion the mathematician, Anaxarchos the philosopher, the philosopher Ascanius, the philosopher Hecataeus, the engineer Dioclides but also the poet Nikenetos. In the area took place important, historical events, such as: the Triballians’ invasion in the city. The competition with neighboring areas, and the involvement of Abdera in the Second Athenian Alliance. The rise of the Macedonians and later the conquest of the region by the Romans, have left indelible marks in the area. Anakreon Anacreon (about 570-485 BC). Lyric poet who was born in Teos in Asia Minor, still young settles in Abdera, with the second colonization in 545 BC. He is distinguished, along with the poets Sappho and Alcaeus from Lesvos, for the expression of the most hidden feelings of the individual and the joy of life. He also lived in the courtyard of the tyrant Polycrates of Samos. His poetry was mainly entertaining for the luxurious banquets and he creates a school, where the later imitations of his poems were called 'Anakreontia'. Anaxagoras Klazomenios Anaxagoras Klazomenios (about 500-428 BC). He was a philosopher and astronomer. He lived for many years in Athens, but was forced to leave the city when accused of impiety. His works are preserved in fragments, but reveal a wide range of knowledge of science. In his book "About Nature" he describes the phenomenon of eclipses of the Sun and the Moon.
