The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

The Capital of the Antigonid Empire, as of under the rule of Demetrius. The young King Demetrius favours his Hellenic subjects and there fore made his capital close to Greece. Demetrius made many decreeds to rebuild the city and make this city as powerful as it was centuries ago.

Halicarnassus was once the capital of the Kingdom of Caria and that legacy is marked by the famous Mausoleum, a beautiful tomb built for King Mausolus that dominates the city.

Halicarnassus is currently undergoing a renaissance of sorts: the population has doubled in five years, making the city one of the largest in the Hellenic world. Much of the new population consist of migrants from all over the Antigonid Empire and beyond, with Syrians, Jews, Egyptians and Persians being present in large numbers creating the most diverse city on the Aegean.
