	The Ecole Initiative: Christianity in Crete
		Knossos and Gortyna, the two most important Cretan cities, dominated the island's northern and southern coasts respectively and were highly regarded in the ancient world for their wealth and antiquity.
		In the Hellenistic era Crete came under the influence of the Ptolemaic dynasts of Egypt, who established a garrison and naval base at Itanos and ties with other cities.
		The incessant wars among the Cretan cities brought Roman intervention early in the second century BCE, but it was not until Metellus' conquest of the island in 68-7 BCE that it was absorbed by the Empire.
