1⁄12 stater - Mythrapata

Mythrapata ruled in the Xanthos region during a period when Lycian dynasts operated with considerable autonomy under loose Achaemenid suzerainty. His name is Iranian in origin — a detail that reflects the degree to which Persian cultural influence had penetrated the Lycian ruling class by the fourth century without fully displacing local identity. These fractional silver pieces circulated within a regional economy that ran parallel to, rather than integrated with, the broader Persian monetary system.
