MAUSOLEUM

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 917 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MAUSOLEUM , the
term
  given to a
monument
  erected to receive the remains of a deceased person, which may sometimes take the form of a sepulchral chapel. The
term
  cenotaph (Gr. hubs, empty, Tacos,
tomb
 ) is employed for a similar
monument
  where the
body
  is not buried in the structure. The term " mausoleum " originated with the magnificent monument erected by Queen Artemisia in 353 B.C. in memory of her
husband
  King Mausolus, of which the remains were brought to
England
  in 18J9 by Sir
Charles
  Newton and placed in the British Museum. The tombs of
Augustus
  and of Hadrian in Rome are perhaps the largest monuments of the
kind
  ever erected.
