 358 Journal of Philology so, there can be no doubt, I think, but that platform is, in reality, the foundation of the former splendid Mausoleum. And the situation of it well agrees with Vitruvius's description, as follows : " is autem locus (Halicarnassus) est theatri curvatures similis. Itaque in imo secundum portum Forum est constitutum ; per mediam autem altitudinis curvaturam prsecinctionemque platea ampla latitudine facta, in qua media Mausoleum est." (De Architect. Lib. n. cap. 8.) p. 352, note (p). It is more likely that, either some of the Knights' soldiers, or workmen, or some of the townspeople, having learnt this discovery, went by stealth during that night, and ransacked the tomb. p. 352, note (q). Guichard gives two coins with the ob. heads of Artemisia, and rev. representations of the Mausoleum. One of these seems to be made in part from Pliny's description : although spurious, if struck during the existence of that monument in its more perfect state, it might afford some resemblance to it. The learned Eckliel (Doctr. Num. Vol. n. p. 597) writes : " Artemisia numis genuinis caret. Ejus numos spectandae molis, in quorum aversa MAY2QAEION typo celebrati Mausolei esse adulterinos" &c. An attempted restoration of this famous edifice has occupied the attention of architects and others. Of the earlier, I will only name Count Caylus, Mem. de l'Acad. des Inscrip. Tom. XXVI. tab. 1 4), and Count Choiseul Gouffier (Voy. Pit. Atlas, Part I. tab. 98) : and of the later, Mr C. R. Cockerell (Class. Mus. v. PI. oppo- site p. 193, fig. A.), and Mr Edward Falkener (Mus. Class. Antiq. No. 2. April 1851. PI. opposite p. 178). This last design, I think, in several respects is to be preferred. Col. Leake has also made (Trans. R. S. Lit. Vol. n. N. S. p. 45) some good observa- tions on these restorations. I may here point out two very interesting views in Part II. of the " Antiquities of Ionia," pub- lished by the Dilettanti Society in 1797; the first represents the town, harbour and castle of St Peter at Budrum ; and the second is an internal view of that Castle, with nine of the sculptured slabs built into its walls. The Knights, to do them justice, have evidently paid some regard to the mode in which they had these sculptures inclosed in the walls of the Castle. p. 352, note (r). Artemisia died B.C. 351, when the Mauso- leum was unfinished ; therefore GuicharcTs number of years of its existence, at the date of his work, is too many by about 315 years.
