 The Patriarchate of Alexandria Down the Centuries
Because of its geographical position, the city of Alexandria also became a city which linked ancient Egyptian civilization with that of Greece and Rome and, then with that of the Jews, to emerge as, a renowned capital which was a place of meeting and cross-influence among the main spiritual and intellectual trends of the time.

The bishops under the primacy of Alexandria were not even entitled to resolve ecclesiastical matters in their areas of jurisdiction: only the Pope of Alexandria was recognised as having the right to settle such problems.
