CHAPTER III.

HISTORY OE THE DISCOVERY OE THE MAUSOLEUM.

century. Its first overthrow probably due to an earthquake.

tions of. the frieze from the castle by Lord Stratford de Bedcliffe

Aeter the annexation of Caria by the Romans, the
name of Halicarnassus scarcely occurs in con-
nection with any historical event, but the Mauso-
leum is mentioned from time to time by ancient
writers, from the age of Strabo to the 12th century.
The well-known passages relating to this tomb,
in Vitruvius, Pliny, Lucian, and other authors of
the classical period, will be fully considered in
the chapter which treats of the design of the
Mausoleum.

In the latter part of the fourth century A.D.,
Gregory of Nazianzus" alludes to the Mausoleum in

a Opera, ed. Caillan. Paris, 1840, ii. p. 1188, Epigr. 57.
