Historical background
CARIA - SATRAPS OF CARIA - PIXODARUS
(340-334 BC)
Pixodare, the last son of Hekatomnos, succeeded the widow of Hidrieus, Ada (344-340 BC.). He was the only satrap in Caria to mint gold and behave like the high King. He was eliminated in 334 BC. The following year, Rhoontopates, the last satrap of Caria, was deposed by Alexander the Great who seized Halicarnassus.
