The Rhodian Peraea or Peraia was the name for the southern coast of the region of Caria in western Asia Minor during the 5th–1st centuries BC, when the area was controlled and colonized by the nearby island of Rhodos. Coins were issued there from time to time, with types resembling the regular Rhodian coinage, but without the name of the mint.
Already in Classical times, before their synoecism and creation of the single Rhodian state in 408 BC, the three city-states of Rhodes, Lindos, Ialyssos, and Kameiros, separately possessed territory on the mainland of Asia Minor. This comprised the Knidian Peninsula (but not Knidos itself), as well as the nearby Trachea peninsula and its neighbouring region to the east. Like Rhodos, these territories were divided into demes, and their citizens were Rhodian citizens.
During the Hellenistic period the extent of the Peraia grew with the addition of various vassal regions. It reached its greatest extent after the Treaty of Apamea in 188 BC, when the entirety of Caria and Lycia south of the Maeander River came under Rhodian rule, but this was short-lived when Rhodes submitted to Rome in 167 BC, this region was lost again. During this time, the Peraia comprised the fully incorporated portion, lying between Knidos and Kaunos, which as before was divided into demes and formed part of the Rhodian state, and the remainder of Caria and Lycia, which were tributary to Rhodos. Rhodos retained a portion of its old domains in Asia until 39 BC, when they were ceded to Stratonicea.
