The Maussolleion at Halikarnassos. Reports of the Danish Archaeological Expedition to Bodrum

Om bogen

Den kariske hersker kong Maussollos gav med sit enorme gravmæle navn til senere tiders monumentale grave: mausoleer. Hans grav midt i byen Hallikarnassos (nutidens Bodrum i Tyrkiet) blev regnet for et af antikkens syv vidundere.

Dette bind beskriver mausoleets fundamenter lagt i en stor rektangulær udhugning i grundklippen, af Newton kaldet "the quadrangle".

Frank Rumscheid Gnomon, Kritische Zeitschrift für die gesamte klassische Altertumswissenschaft

"Insgesamt bietet der Band eine grundlegende Erstpublikation solider archäologischer Forschung im Bereich des Maussolleions. Mehr noch: Einige Ergebnisse führen dazu, langgepflegte Forschungsmeinungen zur vormaussolleischen Nutzung des Areals und zu den Umständen der Haupstadtverlegung unter Maussolos neu zu überdenken."
