So his mausoleum, we think the Emperor Hadrian, if you've heard of Hadrian before, that he modeled his mausoleum on Alexander's. So we kind of have an idea of like what the mausoleum may have looked like. And we have a marble statue of Alexander on top. So people are walking by every day in the middle of this town.

And then across the street from that is the palatial district where all the rich people live. And then off by the bay, you would have had Cleopatra's palace. And so it's this beautiful place. But when the boats come into the dock, you had to give up all the scrolls that you had because the Ptolemies are obsessed with obtaining the world's knowledge and they want the originals.

They don't want a copy. So what they would tell people is, you give us your writings, we'll write down a copy, and we'll give you back your original. But what they would do is give back the copy and keep the original. And this is something called the Library Wars. This is the whole thing. But it was connected to the docks.

And so most of the buildings in Alexandria are made out of stone to prevent fires. But the interior of Alexandria's library would have had all these wooden shelves that would cross where you'd stack all the scrolls in. So everything just – maybe the actual structure of the building doesn't burn down, but the entire interior of it burns up.

And so when Caesar sets fire to the docks to burn all of Pompey's ships, it crawls up the docks and burns the library down. Well, Augustus did the same thing a decade and a half later. Augustus came and he seized Alexandria. And this is when Cleopatra and Mark Antony die. He seizes it. And then there are rebellions because the Alexandrians are very rebellious.

They don't want to be ruled by the Romans. And So I think it's Caracalla that he was being made fun of by the Alexandrians. There was a theater in town. It's actually the place where stand-up comedy was invented in Alexandria. Really? And the butt of all the jokes was always the Roman emperor.

So you'd have people talking shit about the Roman emperor standing up in the middle of Alexandria's theater. And so the Roman emperor was always the butt of the joke. Well, Caracalla – I believe it's Caracalla – He's one of the brothers in Gladiator 2, the new Gladiator if you've seen it. I haven't seen it. He's one of the brothers.
