Diobol - Mithrapata

Mithrapata ruled the Lycian dynasts during a period when Persian satrapal authority was fragmenting across the western Anatolian coast — local rulers struck their own coinage not merely as economic instruments but as assertions of autonomous power that Persian administrators tolerated rather than sanctioned. His name, compounded from the Iranian *Mithra*, signals a family with deep ties to Achaemenid religious culture even as he minted independently.

The Müseler supplement reference being absent here suggests this piece may fall outside the main catalogued die sequences, worth cross-referencing against the Babelon corpus.
