Hekatomnos was the founder of a dynasty of which his son Maussollos is surely the best known today; never-the-less, Hekatomnos was surely the most successful since he expanded his borders to include Miletos and other cities in Asia. In fact, the types he used for this stater (and its fractions) are actually those of Miletos.
