The city of Alexandria
had long been the main port of supplies for imperial Rome, and from the
beginnings of the Roman Empire, therefore, had grown in importance along
with the capital. Its earlier glories as a world center of learning under
the Ptolemies wee not forgotten in its new role as provincial imperial
capital, and it was always more a Greek city than a Roman one. Provincial
governors in Egypt were men of immense power whom emperors could not
overlook.
The Patriarchate of Alexandria was
known throughout the Christian world as a leading force in the formulation
of Christian doctrine and a guiding force in so many matters of canonical
importance. The Christian theologians of Alexandria were internationally
famous and each in their own way developed a distinct and coherent school of
thought. Thinkers such as
Pantaenus
Clement
Origen
Alexander
Athanasius, and
Cyril
stand in a long line of illustrious theological
thinkers.
