Ada of Caria
Ada of Caria (4th century BC) came to power as the ruler of the large and profitable provincial capital of Halicarnassus in Caria, a satrapy of the Persian Empire at a time when Darius was actively seeking to conquer it. Ada's armies put up little resistance and were quickly dispatched, leaving the port city under Persian occupation.
