Note The identification of the triad on the reverse is due to J. and L. Robert, La Carie II, pp. 228-30. This was challenged by R. Fleischer, ‘Ein Heiligtum für Apollo, Artemis und Leto bei Herakleia Salbake in Carien’, Archäologischer Anzeiger 2000, 3, pp. 405-53, who reinterpreted it as Apollo Kareios, Artemis and Leto
