Alexandria was just about the most important city in the ancient world. It had an ideal location for climate and trade. It had the Lighthouse, one of the wonders of the ancient world and two harbors. It had the famous Library and the schools connected with it. The city itself was laid out with wide streets and open spaces and urban sprawl was strictly controlled. In other words, the capital city of the Ptolemies was the ideal city.
