Additional information

Abdera's silver coinage was among the most carefully managed in the northern Aegean, with magistrate names appearing prominently as a form of civic accountability unusual for the period. Kleantides is attested as one of the issuing magistrates from the mid-fourth century, placing this stater within a generation of the city's recovery after Triballi raids devastated the region around 376 BC — an event serious enough that Diodorus Siculus recorded it explicitly.
