==Other monuments==

Another celebrated monument was erected by Artemisia in Rhodes to commemorate her conquest of the island. The Rhodians, after regaining their liberty, made it inaccessible, whence it was called in later times the Abaton (άβατον) which means "Do not tread" or "inaccessible". This bronze statue portrays Artemisia in the act of branding the personification of the island of Rhodes, potentially represented by the goddess [[Rhodos]].{{r|"vitr_2.8"}}
