The city of Alexandria was founded in Egypt, located on the Mediterranean coast. It was established by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE and became a prominent center of Hellenistic culture and trade. Alexandria was known for its Great Library and the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, it remains a significant historical and cultural city in Egypt.
It had an extensive library the largest in the ancient world and people wanted to go to Alexandria's museum.
Greeks were seen as being more sophisticated and cultured than the Romans. It also influenced the form of government in Rome, the buildings in Rome, and their language
Alexander died unexpectedly without an obvious heir. With no clear direction, his generals fought for power. Eventually, three distinct Hellenistic kingdoms emerged: Macedonia (which included Greece), Syria, and Egypt. Although Hellenistic culture flourished in all three kingdoms-in particular, Alexandria in Egypt became a great center of culture and learning-all three kingdoms fell to the growing power of Rome between 60 and 30 BC.
Because of it's location, Alexandria became a prosperous trade center of the Hellenistic world. After Alexander the Great's death, Hellenistic cities (non-Greek cities sharing characteristics of true Greek cities) were thriving cultural centers for a while.
