not uncommon to find Roman amphorae and artifacts when digging
foundations for buildings.

Alexandrines have a deep love for their city, often bordering on
fanticism. Being from a city that was founded 23 centuries ago, named
after Alexander the Great, been the trade emporium for centuries, a
center of learning for Hellenic and Christian, culture does make us
feel special.
