obv. Zeus Osogoa standing right, wearing chiton and himation,

rev. Zeus Labraundos standing right, wearing chiton and himation
double axe on right shoulder, lotus-tipped scepter in left hand,

Until now this is the only known didrachm of this type,
published by Delireux. A unique coin. According to the first century BC Greek geographer Strabo (Geography 14. 2. 23), the Mylasians had three temples of Zeus in their city. In addition to the temples of Zeus Labraundos and Zeus Karios, a third was dedicated to Zeus Osogoa, an indigenous Carian god. On this coin Zeus Labraundos and Zeus Osogoa are depicted.
Zeus Osogoa: The temple complex dedicated to him in Mylasa was of such a size
and style that Pausanias (8.10.3) equated it with the Athenian Acropolis. Zeus Labraundos: Labraunda is an ancient archaeological site five kilometers west of Ortaköy, Muğla Province, Turkey, in the mountains near the coast of Caria. In ancient times, it was held sacred by Carians and Mysians alike. Zeus Labraundos was worshiped in this sanctuary and there was also a holy well, where one could consult a fish oracle. If the fish accepted the food thrown to it the answer was ″yes″, if it was refused the answer was ″no″. The sanctuary owes its name to the labrys, the double-sided ax that Zeus Labraundos carries as an attribute. The site amid its sacred plane trees was enriched in the Hellenistic style by the Hekatomnid dynasty of Maussollos, satrap (and virtual king) of Persian Caria (c. 377 – 352 BC), and also later by his successor and brother Idrieus Labranda was the dynasty′s ancestral sacred shrine. The prosperity of a rapidly hellenised Caria occurred during the 4th century BC. Remains of Hellenistic houses and streets can still be traced, and there are numerous inscriptions. The cult icon here was a local Zeus, a standing Zeus with the tall lotus-tipped scepter upright in his left hand and the double-headed axe, the labrys, over his right shoulder. The cult statue was the gift of the founder of the dynasty, Hekatomnos himself, recorded in a surviving inscription. In the 3rd century BC, with the fall of the Hekatomnids, Labraunda passed into the control of Mylasa. Mylasa was through a 14 km. long street connected to the mountain cult site of Labraunda. The site was later occupied without discontinuity until the mid Byzantine period.
Strabo (Greek geographer ca. 64 BC - 24 AD) stated :
″Mylasa is situated in an exceedingly fertile plain and above the plain, towering into a peak, rises a mountain, which has a most excellent quarry of white marble. Now this quarry is of no small advantage, since it has stone in abundance and close at hand, for building purposes and in particular for the building of temples and other public works accordingly this city, as much as any other, is in every way beautifully adorned with porticoes and temples. The Mylasians have two temples of Zeus, Zeus Osogoa, and Zeus Labraundos. The former is in the city, whereas Labraunda is a village far from the city, being situated on the mountain near the pass that leads over from Alabanda to Mylasa. At Labraunda there is an ancient shrine and statue of Zeus Stratios (Warlike). It is honored by the people all about and by the Mylasians and there is a paved road of almost sixty stadia from the shrine to Mylasa, called the Sacred Way, on which their sacred processions are conducted. The priestly offices are held by the most distinguished of the citizens, always for life. Now these temples belong peculiarly to the city but there is a third temple, that of Zeus Karios (of Karia), which is a common possession of all Karians, and in which, as brothers, both Lydians and Mysians have a share.″ (Geography 14. 2. 23)
The cult statue depicted here first appeared on very rare tetradrachms of Maussolos struck at Mylasa, circa 377 BC. It also appears later on cistophori of Hadrian, as well as Roman provincial bronze issues of Mylasa. This didrachme is from the first issue of this type. The obverse and reverse of this coin symbolizes the close interrelationship of the city of Mylasa with the nearby sanctuary of Labraunda and is therefore a beautiful and important historical document. cf.
