| | This was the time of the famous Colossus of Rhodes, which was finished around 290 BC and was considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. | | | Not put off by this, de Villaret persevered, and in November of the same year the key fortress of Philermo was taken by the military monks and they started to seriously besiege the Island. | | | Its decline came in the early years of the 5th century BC, when it came into conflict with Persian Imperialism and their expansion policies in the southern Aegean. |
