Myrina is said to have been founded before the other Aeolian cities by either Myrinus or the Amazon Myrina. Artaxerxes gave Gryneium and Myrina to Gongylus, an Eretrian, who had been banished from his native city for favoring Persia. Myrina had a good harbor. Pliny the Elder mentions the fame of its oysters and that it bore the surname of Sebastopolis (venerable city). An inscription tells us that Myrina was within the Kingdom of Pergamon in the 3rd century B.C. For some time Myrina was occupied by Philip V of Macedon; but the Romans compelled him to evacuate, and declared the place free. It twice suffered severe earthquakes, in the reigns of Tiberius and Trajan. The town was restored each time, and continued to exist until a late period. It was the birthplace of Agathias, a Byzantine poet and historian of the 6th century.

The tetradrachm (Greek: τετράδραχμον, translit. tetrádrachmon) was a large silver coin that originated in Ancient Greece. It was nominally equivalent to four drachmae, worth four times a man's daily wage for a skilled labourer or for a hoplite soldier, or two days' pay for a sculptor working on a public building. Over time the tetradrachm effectively became the standard coin of the Antiquity, spreading well beyond the borders of the Greek World.
The images on early Greek coins give us a lot of information about Ancient Greek life and culture. For example images of sacred and important buildings and temples, show us what their buildings looked like thousands of years ago. Coins were not just money, but propaganda or a means of communicating civic pride. Coins are valuable, durable and pass through many hands. Without newspapers or other mass media, they were an ideal way of spreading a political message.
