As a reward for his recognition of Alexander as the legitimate successor of Darius, Mazaeus was rewarded by being able to retain the satrapy of Babylon, as a Hellenistic satrap.[2] Alexander left a Macedonian, Apollodorus of Amphipolis, as the military commander of the garrison of Babylon, and another as tax-collector.[2] Mazaeus continued minting coins under his name, and later without his name. Mazaeus was replaced as satrap of Babylon by Stamenes.[4] Coinage of Mazaios as Hellenistic Satrap of Babylon, circa 331-328 BC. Late coinage of Mazaeus as satrap of Babylon.
