Alexandria
City
Alexandria was founded by Alexander
the Great around 331 BC.
It was developed into a world class city
by Ptolemy and his successors
from 323-31 BC and included the greatest library of antiquity.
The last Ptolemaic ruler was Cleopatra VII, who married Julius Caesar
and
later Marc Antony. She took her own life in 31 BC
rather than be captured by invading Roman armies.
