During the fourth century BC, Caria flourished under the Hecatomnid dynasty, whose rulers combined allegiance to Persia with strong Greek cultural influences. Local language and traditions nevertheless endured, as the Carian letter on this silver diobol illustrates. Struck at an unidentified mint conventionally called “Mint E”, it belongs to a region where Persian authority, Greek artistry and Carian identity coexisted.
