Mithrapata was among the most prolific coin-issuing dynasts of Lycia, operating from his base at Antiphellos during a period when Persian satrapal authority over the region was nominally intact but practically contested. His name — a compound of the Iranian divine name Mithra — reflects the deep Persian cultural overlay on Lycian ruling families, even as they minted in a distinctly regional style and maintained local political autonomy. The stater series attributed to Antiphellos is distinguished within Mithrapata's broader output by specific die groupings catalogued by Kraay and Hirmer, and the Boston MFA supplementary attribution places this piece within a relatively narrow production window.
