The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, built in the 4th century BC by Artemisia II for Mausolus in Halicarnassus (modern Bodrum), combined Greek, Persian, and Anatolian influences. It had a rectangular base with an Ionic colonnade, sculpted friezes, a tiered pyramid, and a quadriga on top, created by masters such as Scopas, Timotheus, Leochares, and Bryaxis. A political and religious symbol, it declined due to earthquakes and looting; in the 15th century, its stones were reused for Bodrum Castle. Excavations by Newton brought pieces to the British Museum. Its legacy gave rise to the term “mausoleums.”
