Historical background

CARIA - SATRAPS OF CARIA - MAUSOLUS

(377-353 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.
