A history of discoveries at Halicarnassus, Cnidus, and Branchidæ

Charles Thomas Newton (1816–1894) was a British archaeologist specialising in Greek and Roman artefacts. This study, first published in 1862, describes Newton's excavations of sites including the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, a wonder of the ancient world, and provides valuable insights into Victorian archaeological methods. Part 1 focuses on the Mausoleum.
