 The beauty of the Hellenistic city, clustering on the low ground and rising tier over tier on the hillside, was frequently praised by the ancients and is celebrated on its coins.Smyrna is shut in on the west by a hill now called Deirmen Tepe, with the ruins of a temple on the summit.The walls of Lysimachus crossed the summit of this hill, and the acropolis occupied the top of Pagus.
