 Around 260 BC, Byzantium was involved in a dispute with Histria and Callatis (modern Mangalia) over Tomis "emporion" (Εμπόριον, market) (i.e.modern Constanţa).Another destruction of the city, somewhere around 175 BC, was most probably wreaked by Bastarni passing through after being called upon by Macedonian king Philip V or Perseus to reinforce the army.
