Commentary
Nous n’avons pas repéré de liaison de coin pour ce type qui est très proche iconographiquement des émissions de Pixodare (cf. Konuk 7c, pl. 34). En revanche aucun tétradrachme d’Idreius n’était signalé avec un petit iota placé derrière le Zeus Labraundos.
Historical background
CARIA - SATRAPS OF CARIA - HIDREIUS
(351-344 BC)
Hekatomnos (395-377 AC.) was satrap of Caria and took part in the second war in Asia Minor. His son Mausolus (377-353 AC.), who succeeded him, is much better known for the mausoleum that his widow, Artemisia, had built for him in order to perpetuate his memory and which was one of the seven wonders of the world. It was Hidrieus, the second son of Hekatomnos, who succeeded him and continued the coinage established by his brother at Halicarnassus. Pixodare, the last son of Hekatomnos, succeeded the widow of Hidrieus, Ada (344-340 AC.). He was eliminated in 334 BC. The following year, Rhoontopates, the last satrap of Caria, was deposed by Alexander the Great who seized Halicarnassus.
