Bargylia was a small coastal city in Caria, and its independent silver coinage — issued sporadically through the Hellenistic period — reflects the city's periodic autonomy between Rhodian domination and Seleucid pressure. The SNG von Aulock 8074 reference places this among a tightly catalogued group of Carian civic issues, though die studies on Bargylia's drachms remain thin compared to neighboring Mylasa or Iasos.
The city's name appears in inscriptions as early as the third century BC, and it held a notable sanctuary to Artemis Kindyas.
