| Additional information |
The Lycian League's coinage authority was formally recognized by Rome following the defeat of Perseus of Macedon at Pydna in 168 BC, when the Romans transferred control of Lycia from Rhodes to the Lycians themselves — ending roughly two decades of Rhodian administration that the Lycians had experienced as occupation rather than alliance. Rhodiapolis, a small but autonomous city in eastern Lycia, issued under the federal coinage system that made the League one of the ancient world's most sophisticated federated monetary structures, with member cities retaining local mint identifiers within a unified type.
