The Colossus, one of the Ancient Wonders of the World was toppled in a massive earthquake in 226 BC, its remains lay on the ground for over 800 years (Strabo 14.2.5) before being sold as scrap following the Arab Conquest in 654 (Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, De administrando imperio XX-XXI).~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OUR GUARANTEE: All illustrations are of the actual item offered.
