Alexandria was originally an Egyptian city called Rhacotis. Sometime around 334 BCE, Alexander renamed the city to Alexandria, which was from the start intended to be a center of commerce. More than that, it was intended to be a center of learning. Located on Egypt's Northern coast, it became the seat of power in Egypt under the rule of the Ptolemies and the center of learning in the Hellenistic Mediterranean region. It later remained the centre of learning under the Roman Empire, where it was second only to Rome in size and prosperity.
