Providentia is the personification of the ability to foresee and to make provision for the future. This ability was considered essential for the emperor and providentia was among the embodiments of virtues that were part of the imperial cult. Cicero said that providentia, memoria (memory) and intellegentia (understanding) are the three main components of prudentia, the knowledge what is good or bad or neither.RS112932.

Dynasts of Lycia, Uncertain Dynast, c. 480 - 360 B.C.
Lycia had a single monarch, who ruled the entire country, subject to Persian policy, from a palace at Xanthos.

Some members of the dynasty were Iranian, but mainly it was native Lycian. The names of the dynasts are known mostly from coin inscriptions.GA114048.
