“Out of Area”: The Involvement of Non-Local Powers in Lycian Affairs between the 5th and the 4th Centuries BC / „Poza obszarem”. Zaangażowanie zewnętrznych potęg w sprawy Licji między V a IV w. p.n.e.

Abstract

The discovery of yet another stater in the name of an Anatolian karanos struck in Lycia, in this case of the Lydian satrap Autophradates (after ca. 370 BC), has induced the author to a reappraisal of the participation of different hegemonial powers from outside in internal Lycian conflicts between ca. 430 and 360 BC. Occasionally, Athenians and Spartans as well as the Persian overlords of the region themselves made use of various rivalries among local dynastic clans to protect their own strategic and political interests in the general area.
