TYRAS

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 548 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TYRAS , a colony of
Miletus
 , probably founded about 600 B.c., situated some to m. from the mouth of the Tyras River (Dniester). Of no
great
  importance in early times, in the 2nd
century
  B.C. it fell under the dominion of native kings whose names appear on its coins, and it was destroyed by the Getae about 50 B.C. In A.D. 56 it seems to have been restored by the Romans and henceforth formed
part
  of the province of
Lower
  Moesia. There exists a
series
  of its coins with heads of emperors from
Domitian
  to Alexander Severus. Soon after the time of the latter it was destroyed by the Goths. Its government was in the hands of five archons, a senate, a popular assembly and a registrar. The types of its coins suggest a
trade
  in wheat, wine and fish. The few
inscriptions
  are also mostly concerned with
trade
 . Its remains are scanty, as its site has been covered by the
great
  medieval fortress of Monocastro or Akkerman (q.v.).
See E. H. Minns, Scythsans and Greeks (
Cambridge
 , 1909) ; V. V. Latyshev,
Inscriptions
  Orae Septentrionalis Ponti Euxini, vol. i.
(E. H. M.)
