Kaunos, Caria, c. 430 - 410 B.C.
|Kaunos|, |Kaunos,| |Caria,| |c.| |430| |-| |410| |B.C.|, Caria was made a Persian satrapy in 545 B.C. The area rebelled along with Ionia c. 497 B.C. but was subdued by 493 B.C. After Xerxes' defeats, the Persians withdrew from the western Anatolian coast and Kaunos joined the Delian League, founded in 477 B.C. In 387 B.C. Kaunos again fell under Persian rule. It was conquered by Alexander III of Macedon in 334 B.C. The baetyl, a stone cult object, was found in Kaunos, broken in two parts, in the ruins of a round shrine near the harbor. Made of limestone, over 4 meters high and 1.5 meters wide, it appears the stone was originally worshiped in the open. The temple was built around it in the 4th century B.C.
