Aanvullende informatie

Mazaeus governed Cilicia under Achaemenid authority from roughly 361 BC and proved unusually durable — he survived the transition from Artaxerxes III to Darius III and was still in office when Alexander crossed into Asia. Tarsus fell to Alexander in 333 BC with almost no resistance, and Mazaeus simply continued administering the region under new management. He later surrendered Babylon to Alexander in 331 BC, was rewarded with the satrapy of Babylonia, and struck coinage there as well — one of the very few Persian officials to mint under both regimes.
