| Aanvullende informatie |
Mazaeus governed Cilicia as satrap under the Achaemenid crown from around 361 BC and later surrendered Babylon to Alexander the Great in 331 BC without a siege — a capitulation rewarded with his reappointment as governor under Macedonian rule, making him one of the very few Persian satraps to hold power both before and after the conquest. These staters were struck to fund regional administration and, almost certainly, military levies during the period of mounting Macedonian pressure. The SNG Levante and BN groupings suggest meaningful die variation across the issue, consistent with extended production at Tarsus.
