 The exact form of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, which gave the name to the form, is now unclear, and there are several alternative reconstructions that seek to reconcile the archaeological evidence with descriptions in literature.It had the size and some elements of the design of the Greek temple, but was much more vertical, with a square base and a pyramidal roof.There were quantities of large sculpture, of which most of the few surviving pieces are now in the British Museum.
