History
历史
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.
当波斯人把它们的王国寇冲到了美索不达米亚,北印度,叙利亚,埃及和小亚细亚半岛,没有当地长官或者统治者,即总督的管理,国王很难控制巨大的帝国。
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.
与其他省一样,小亚细亚半岛西部的卡里亚王国,由于离波斯首都太远,实际等于在自治。在公元前377-353年之间,卡利亚王国的摩索拉斯退居管理地位,把它的都城迁到了哈利卡那索斯。
