| | Ancient coinage of Caria (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In Caria, properly so called,—that is to say, in the inland districts,— there was no coinage whatever before Alexander’s conquest; and, on the coast, Cnidus and Chersonesus, Idyma, Termera, Astyra, and perhaps Caunus, appear to have been the only mints before the commencement of the fine series of coins of the Hecatomnid dynasty. |
 | | Attuda, on the borderland of Caria and Phrygia, was situated on the northern slope of the Salbacus range. |
 | | To this island, which lay off the coast of Caria, some ten miles west of Myndus and north of Cos, are usually attributed the very archaic silver staters of the Babylonian standard. |
