The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven wonders of the ancient world, was built by Greek architects for the local Achaemenid satrap of Caria, Mausolus (Scale model) Caria was then incorporated into the Persian Achaemenid Empire as a satrapy (province) in 545 BC. As part of the Roman Empire the name of Caria was still used for the geographic region but the territory administratively belonged to the province of Asia. Caria became a separate province as part of the Diocese of Asia. Asia Minor Coins: ancient Greek and Roman coins from Caria ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4331.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4331.txt
