===Later history===
Not long afterwards the citizens received the present of a gymnasium from [[Ptolemy I Soter|Ptolemy]] and built in his honour a ''stoa'' or portico.<ref name=EB1911/> Under Egyptian hegemony, around 268 BC, a citizen named [[Hermias of Halicarnassus|Hermias]] became [[Nesiarch]] of the [[Nesiotic League]] in the [[Cyclades]].<ref>[https://www.academia.edu/1600370/Identity_and_resistance_the_Islanders_League_the_Aegean_islands_and_the_Hellenistic_kings C.

Halicarnassus never recovered altogether from the disasters of the siege, and [[Cicero]] describes it as almost deserted.<ref name=EB1911/>

Baroque artist [[Johann Elias Ridinger]] depicted the several stages of siege and taking of the place in a huge copper engraving as one of only two known today from his Alexander set. The Christian and later history of the site is continued at [[Bodrum]].
