As the weight of the following coin is unusual m Lycia, it may be
doubted whether the attribution here suggested is the true one.

After Alexander’s time Phaselis, with the rest of Lycia and Pamphylia,
became dependent upon Egypt, and it is to the reign of Ptolemy III. or
IV. that the followino- later Phaselian issues must be attributed.

Phaselis, like most other Asiatic towns, appears, after the defeat of
Antiochus by the Romans, to have begun a new coinage of silver staters
and drachms, retaining, however, the old standard of weight.

After b. c. 168.
Whether Phaselis was ever a member of the second Lycian League, or
whether it retained its ancient independence, can hardly be determined
from the coins, which, to all appearance, are autonomous; for although
the smaller denominations in silver bear federal types, the legend AY or
AYKinN does not occur upon them. Thus the statement of Strabo (667)
that Phaselis took no part in the League is not contradicted by numis-
matic evidence.
