Kyzykos came under Persian rule, but after the defeat of Xerxes, it joined the Athenian League remaining loyal until 411 B.C.E. Within this relationship Athens maintained strict controls over the issuance of silver coins by the various cities and any locally issued coins were to be handed in to Athens for re-minting.
