Alexandria seems from this time to have regained its old prosperity, commanding, as it did, an important granary of Rome; this fact, doubtless, was one of the chief reasons which induced Augustus to place it directly under Roman Empireimperial power.
Alexandria consisted originally of little more than the island of Pharos, which was joined to the mainland by a mole (architecture)mole nearly a mile long and called the ''Heptastadion'' ("seven stadia" — a ''stadium'' was a Greek unit of length measuring approximately 200m).
