History
歷史
When the Persians expanded their ancient kingdom to include Mesopotamia, Northern India, Syria, Egypt, and Asia Minor,the king could not control his vast empire without the help of local governors or rulers-- the Satraps.
當波斯人把它們的王國寇沖到了美索不達米亞,北印度,敘利亞,埃及和小亞細亞半島,沒有當地長官或者統治者,即總督的管理,國王很難控制巨大的帝國。
Like many other provinces, the kingdom of Caria in the western part of Asia Minor (Turkey) was so far from the Persian capital that it was practically autonomous.From 377 to 353 BC, king Mausollos of Caria reigned and moved his capital to Halicarnassus.
與其他省一樣,小亞細亞半島西部的卡里亞王國,由于離波斯首都太遠,實際等于在自治。在公元前377-353年之間,卡利亞王國的摩索拉斯退居管理地位,把它的都城遷到了哈利卡那索斯。
