Tetrobol - Orou

Orou is among the lesser-documented dynasts of Lycian coinage, operating within the Achaemenid administrative framework that allowed local rulers considerable autonomy in issuing silver — provided tribute obligations to Persia were met. The Lycian dynastic series of this period reflects a regional power structure that persisted even as Athenian and Persian interests repeatedly collided across the eastern Aegean. Müseler's cataloguing work has been essential in separating these attributions, many of which spent decades misassigned or lumped under anonymous dynastic issues in older collections.
