Æ26 - Hadrian ΥΔΙϹΕωΝ, ΖΕΥϹ ΑΡΕΙΟϹ (in field, l. and r.)

Hydisus was a minor Carian settlement whose civic identity leaned heavily on religious association with Zeus Areios — a martial epithet linking the god to Ares, unusual enough in the Greek east that it suggests a genuinely local cult rather than borrowed nomenclature. The city issued coins sparingly, and its Hadrianic bronzes are among the scarcest products of the Alabanda conventus, the Roman administrative district that grouped several small Carian communities under a single judicial circuit centered at Alabanda.
