Alexandria

Alexandria

A major port city and cultural center founded by Alexander the Great on the Egyptian coast. The home of a large Jewish colony during the Hellenistic period, Alexandria nourished a fusion of Hebraic and Hellenic (Greek) ideas, one result of which was the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible.

Alexandria is based on Lepidus from the life of Julius Caesar, which heavily influenced the story of Prang and the ascension of the Emperor to his current role. She was a base courtier who was ultimately betrayed by her own naïveté and her supposed allies on the Second Triumvirate.
