Historical background


LYCIA - SATRAPS OF LYCIA - PERIKLES

(4th century BC)

Perikles Satrap

We have little historical information about these semi-independent Lycian satraps who established themselves in the second half of the 5th century. Their coins disappeared definitively during the second half of the 4th century, with the arrival in the region of the satrap of Cilicia, Mazaios. Mithrapata, dynast or satrap of Antiphellos, a city located on the Lycian coast between Patara and Aperlai and which was the port of Phellos, seems to have preceded Perikles. The Antiphellos mint paid for both figures. Perikles died in 362 BC. Upon his death, Lycia returned to Persian orbit until the Macedonian conquest.
