  Mausoleum of Maussollos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 377 BC, the city of Halicarnassus was the capital of a small kingdom along the Mediterranean coast of Asia Minor.
It was in that year the ruler of this land, Hecatomnus of Mylasa, died and left control of the kingdom to his son, Mausolus.
Hecatomnus, a local satrap to the Persians, had been ambitious and had taken control of several of the neighboring cities and districts.

 Hecatomnus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Hecatomnus of Mylasa was satrap of Caria between 391 and 377 and founder of the Hecatomnid dynasty.
Joining his forces with those of Autophradates of Lydia, he was supposed to subdue the rebel leader Euagoras, who was aiming at an independent Cyprus.
However this may be, Artaxerxes II later awarded Hecatomnus the overlordship of the city of Miletus, the largest Greek settlement in Asia Minor.

 Milesian Revivals of the Hecatomnids (Ancient Coins of Miletos)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The satrapal dynasty established under the Persian king Artaxerxes II by Hecatomnus (Hekatomnos) of Mylasa ruled much of Caria and Ionia during the fourth century BC, and the territory of Miletus fell intermittently under Hecatomnid control during this period.
Both Hecatomnus (395–377 BC) and Mausolus (377–353 BC) issued coins which revived the sixth-century silver types of Miletus, featuring a lion’s head or lion protome on the obverse, along with the familiar Milesian sun/star symbol on the reverse.
The evidence of the Hecatomnus Hoard (Ashton et al., 2002a: 128, 137) suggests that these Milesian-style issues were struck during the later part of Hecatomnus’ reign.

 Hecatomnus of Mylasa
Hecatomnus was the son of Hyssaldomus, the local ruler of Mylasa, a town in Caria.
In 392 or 391, the Persian king Artaxerxes II Mnemon appointed Hecatomnus as satrap of the part of the Achaemenid Empire, and ordered him to build an army.
He seems to have been fascinated by Greek culture, and on one occasion sent his youngest son Pixodarus to Athens, but from a religious point of view he always remained a Carian.

 Mausolus - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Maussolus was the son of Hecatomnus, a Carian aristocrat who had in 392/391 obtained the satrapy of Caria from the Achaemenid king Artaxerxes II Mnemon.
Although Hecatomnus probably had played with the thought of rebellion, he had always remained loyal, and there was no reason why Artaxerxes would not allow Hecatomnus's son to succeed his father.
We know hardly anything about Mausolus's youth, although he is known to have had a xenia with the Spartan king Agesilaus, which means that they were tied by mutual hospitality.

The satraps of Caria had close relations with Miletus during the fifth and fourth centuries BC.
The Milesian revivals of the Hecatomnids — During the first half of the fourth century BC, the philhellenic Persian satraps Hecatomnus, Mausolus, and Hidrieus of Caria issued a series of silver coins that revived the archaic lion-head/sun types of Miletus.
Whether these coins were actually struck at Miletus or at a nearby mint in Caria is uncertain, but the familiar type would have been readily identifiable as Milesian throughout southern Asia Minor.
