The middle of the 4th Century B.C. Kllatis was in full development, turning, like Istria, into an important production centre - Heraclea Pontica was also a city founded by settlers from Megara. In addition to the fortress of Kallatis, apparently nicknamed "the fortress with strong walls", the settlers who left Herakleia established the fortress of Chersones in the Crimea - The Kallatian mint was opened around 330 B.C.
