Summary. — Orthagoreia is to be sought on the Thracian coast of the North Aegean, to the East of the city of Maroneia. The author argues that this city grew up on the site of Mesembria, an ancient colony of Samothrace. Orthagoreia began striking coins in the middle of the 4th century ВС with issues of silver hemidrachms and bronze units. By the end of the 4th century ВС, silver didrachms were issued. The iconographie similarity between the coinage of Orthagoreia and a silver issue of Philip II reveals a close relationship between this Greek city and the Macedonian kingdom established on the Thracian coast by the middle of the 4th century ВС.
Summary. — The author presents the problem of attribution of the bronze coins with the monogram Ř , found during the excavations on the sites of Abdera and Maroneia, and proposes a city named Agathocleia or Agathopolis as a probable mint. This city, otherwise unknown by the litterary sources, may either be placed somewhere between Abdera and Maroneia or be identified with a well known city of the Thracian coast, as Maroneia or Orthagoreia, who could have changed name to Agathopolis or Agathocleia for a short time, during the reign of Lysimachus.
