[1] In 56 AD, it seems to have been restored by the Romans under Nero and henceforth formed part of the province of Lower Moesia.

The coins of Tyras of this period were of copper with the portraits of the members of the Imperial house for the province of the Roman Empire.

In 201 CE, Septimius Severus and Caracalla granted the inhabitants of the city the right to engage in duty-free trade.
