	Tombs
		The latter was the tomb of Mausolus (hence the word mausoleum), the king of Caria (Asia Minor); it was constructed in the fourth century
		Tombs come in a myriad of shapes, forms, and sizes: there are pyramids, obelisks, mounds, rotunda, rock-cut tombs, house tombs, and temple tombs, to name a few; these may house the remains of a single person or many.
		Monumental tombs are not a part of all cultures, religions, or political systems, but where they occur, they are often associated with times of transition in power, a transition frequently triggered by the death of a ruler.

		Mausolus enclosed his capital at Halicarnassus with a great circuit of powerful defence walls studded with watch-towers at regular intervals, along with three separately walled eitadeis, some three and a half miles long, of which parts are standing today (recently brought into shape by Ericsson-Türkcell, see Myndos Gate).
