Duke lexuar nje liber rreth numizmatikes(rreth monedhave dhe medaljeve te lashta),ndesha ne diçka te tille:
Perkthim:"Nga Amantia qytet bregdetar i Ilirise,pak medalje njihen,dhe gati ne te gjitha eshte e figuruar nje RRUFE dhe mbishkrimi AMANTON....
Per kete qytet flet S.Bizanti,duke treguar,qe ajo u ndertua nga ABANTET mbas kthimit te tyre nga rrethimi i Trojes,nga te cilet u quajt ABANTIA,duke u shnderruar me pas ne AMANTIA"
Po te hedhim nje shikim rreth Abanteve ne wiki thuhet:
"The Abantes were a tribe in ancient Greece[1] that may have once been Thracian. Their home was Euboea.
Origins
Aristotle of Chalcis reported that Thracians who arrived in Euboea through Abae named the island's inhabitants the Abantes.[2] The Abantes were definitely not Ionians themselves, but many ended up assimilated into the Ionian population.[3]
[edit] The Iliad
In the Iliad, Homer mentions the Abantes among the allies of the Greeks in the Trojan War.[4]
[edit] Colonies
Pausanias writes that they contributed to a colony from Thronium in Thesprotis. The local area became known as Abantis. Eventually it was conquered by Apollonia with the help of Corinth.[5]
Another colony was sent to Chios, but eventually it was defeated and the survivors forced to flee.[6]"
