Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the relationship between the Lycian League and Olympus in Eastern Lycia. One of the six cities with three votes in the Lycian League, Olympus was no longer a member of the League after the pirate chief Zenicetes captured the city. Olympus issued Lycian League coins until it left the League, when it began to mint coins termed today Pseudo-League coins. These coins seem to have been struck from the end the II century B.C. and continued to be minted until 77 B.C. Although they imitated League examples, they do not carry the name of the federation. Olympus was probably struck from the League because of its capture by Zenicetes or because of its collaboration with the pirates. Olympus coined as a member of the League in the II century B.C. but it could not be determined exactly when the city became a member of the Lycian League. Olympus and Phaselis minted Lycian League type coins in Period II, Series 1 with issues dating from 167 to 130 B.C. At the end of the 1970’s a hoard containing 133 League coins was discovered, probably in Kemer. Of these coins 91, are from Eastern Lycia, with 76 from Olympus and Phaselis and 15 from Limyra, Rhodiapolis and Gagai. There are also 58 Olympus League coins.
