Tyras (Ancient Greek: Τύρας), was an ancient Greek city founded as colony of Miletus, probably about 600 BC, situated some 10 m from the mouth of the Tyras River (Dniester). The surrounding native tribe were called the Tyragetae.

Of no great importance in early times, in the 2nd century BC Tyras fell under the dominion of native kings whose names appear on its coins, and it was destroyed by the Getae about 50 BC.

In 56 AD, it seems to have been restored by the Romans under Nero 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.

Indeed the autonomous caulking of coins in the city, called by the Romans Alba Julia, lasted from the time of the emperor Domitianus (81 AD) up to the end of the board of the emperor Alexander Sever (235 AD) with little breaks. The coins of Tyras of this period represented copper with the portraits of the members of the Imperial house for the province of the Roman Empire.
