PERSIA, Achaemenid Empire. Autophradates. Satrap of Sparda (Lydia and Ionia), circa 380s-350s BC. AR Drachm (13mm, 3.38 g, 1h). Uncertain mint in Ionia. Bearded head left, wearing satrapal cap / Forepart of horse left; OATA above, monogram below. Cf. Winzer 11.1; cf. Meadows, Administration 344; cf. Traité II 67; cf. BMC 20 (diobol, with this monogram); otherwise, unpublished. Lightly toned, a hint of porosity, a few minor marks on edge. VF. Apparently unique as a drachm.
Autophradates distinguished himself in the Great Satraps Revolt (365-360 BC) by supporting Artaxerxes II and imprisoning the satrap of Lydia and Ionia, Artabazos (Dem. Aristoc. 671). In 333 BC, Autophradates, along with his fellow-commander, Pharnabazos, took over the Persian fleet and completed the siege of Mytilene, which had been begun by Memnon. In the Greek revolts which arose in the Aegean and western Asia Minor as a result of Alexander III's victories, Autophradates tried to return these areas to Persian control (Arr. Anab. 2.1; Arist. Pol. 2.4.10). Little else is known of his subsequent career, although it is possible that he was among those satraps who presented themselves before Alexander at Zadracarta (Arr. Anab. 3.23).
