The inhabitants of the middle and lower Kaystros valley were called Kaystrianoi, and of the upper valley Kilbianoi.
The Kaystros River, today Küçük Menderes, flows westward between the ranges of Mount Tmolos and Mount Messogis through ″wide, thickly settled and productive″ plains (Strabo 13.4.13), which were inhabited by the tribes of the Kilbianoi in the east and the Kaystrianoi in the west. Both had their own coinage in Hellenistic times. Ephesos was located on the mouth of the Kaystros river. The plains were first mentioned by Homer, Ilias 2.461. There was no actual town of this name. Stylistically the coin has much resemblance with the coinage of Sardes, in particular the coin type with the Apollo head on the obverse and the club on the reverse (cf. BMC 10-21).

Philadelphia was founded in 189 BC by King Eumenes II of Pergamon (197–160 BC). Eumenes II named the city for the love of his brother, who would be his successor, Attalus II (159–138 BC), whose loyalty earned him the nickname, "Philadelphos", literally meaning "one who loves his brother". The city is perhaps best known as the site of one of the seven churches of Asia in the Book of Revelation. Lacking an heir, Attalus III Philometer, the last of the Attalid kings of Pergamum, bequeathed his kingdom, including Philadelphia, to his Roman allies when he died in 133 BC. Rome established the province of Asia in 129 BC by combining Ionia and the former Kingdom of Pergamum. Philadelphia was in the administrative district of Sardis. In AD 17, the city suffered badly in an earthquake, and the Roman emperor Tiberius relieved it of having to pay taxes. In response, the city granted honors to Tiberius. Evidence from coinage reveals that Caligula helped the city; under Vespasian, Philadelphia received his cognomen, Flavia. Under Caracalla, Philadelphia housed an imperial cult; its coins bore the word Neokoron (literally, "temple-sweeper"—caretaker of the temple). A small theater located at the northern edge of Toptepe Hill is all that remains of Roman Philadelphia. Philadelphia was founded in 189 BC by King Eumenes II of Pergamon (197–160 BC).

Tralleis is said to be founded by Argives and Thracians (Tralli). It was situated upon a lofty plateau on one of the southern spurs of the Messogis range, overlooking the plain of the lower Maeander. Tralleis, was one of the largest and richest cities of Lydia. King Attalus had a splendid palace there. The local god was Zeus Larasios, but Apollo Pythius and other divinities were also worshiped. On the defeat of Antiochus, 190 B.C., Tralles, with the rest of Lydia, was assigned to the kingdom of the Attalids, under whose gentle sway it enjoyed peace and prosperity, and was one of the chief mints of the Cistophori. When Attalus III died without an heir in 133 B.C., he bequeathed the whole of Pergamon to Rome in order to prevent a civil war. Tralles was destroyed by an earthquake but was rebuilt by Augustus and took the name of Caesarea.
