Rhodes


In the late 4th century BC on the island of Rhodes, one of the most remarkable battles in antiquity unfolded. Rhodes faced off against the superpower of the time in a campaign which saw it all: maritime warfare, vast siege engines - plus siege engines mounted on ships - pirates and night raids.
Rhodes overcame its attackers, and in celebration of their victory erected a monument that would go down in history as one of the seven wonders of the world: the Colossus of Rhodes.
