Topic: Mylasa


  
  Milas Mylasa
Mylasa, which was the former capital of Caria, houses monuments bearing witness to great past of the town.
From the ending of the name "asa", we understand this was an Anatolian name and it is suggested it was one of the early cities established in the region.
However, the Golden Age of Mylasa came during the early 4th century during the rule of famous Persian Satraps such as Hysaldomus, Hekatomnos and Maosolos.

The shift of the capital from inland Mylasa to coastal Halicarnassus was significant for the far-western parts of the Achaemenid empire: by shifting the seat of his power to the coast Mausolus, unlike his Iranian colleagues to the north, facilitated the ability to reach and strike out at potential threats sailing in from the west.
The civic officers tried to define the satrapal family in Greek political terms (e.g., Mausolus and Idrieus are called citizens of Mylasa, but no mention is made of their Achaemenid positions), and Idrieus was offered citizenship in Erythrae if he wished it.

 Silver Lion Coinage of Mylasa in Caria (Ancient Coins of Miletos)
Koray Konuk now believes they are not Milesian but instead belong to Mylasa, the principal city of Caria under the Hecatomninds, about 35 miles southeast of Miletus near the head of the Bargylian gulf.
As in the early Milesian twelfth staters, the obverse type of these coins is, strictly speaking, a lion protome (with foreleg visible and head reverted), rather than a simple lion head.
The reverse lion scalp design is very similar to the obverse of the silver lion/scorpion coins of Miletus or Mylasa (but not to the obverse of the electrum variety).
