The hieroglyphic name of Alexandria |
Location of Alexandria |
The center of the city was designed to provide trade centers, residences, sunken romances, and even catacombs. The Serapeum, the devoted burial site and shrine of the sacred Apis bulls, was developed on the hill of Rhakotis in the citys oldest section. Royal residences, municipal buildings, and government seats were as well introduced. Two other structures as well got acclaim to the new capital: the Library of Alexandria and the lighthouse at Pharos. The continues of Alexander the extended were reportedly come out in the Soma of the city after being regenerated to the capital by Ptolemy I Soter in 323 B.C.E. Ptolemaic mausoleums and the tombs of Antony and Cleopatra VII have disappeared over the centuries, along with the vanquishers body.
Thousands of new residents flocked to Alexandria, and awards of property, called a cleruchy, were given to foreign mercenaries who domiciled in the city and made themselves clear for military service. A Greek elite moved from Naukratis (el-Nibeira), the original Hellenic outstation, and some laws and regulating were given to protect their special status.
