Throughout history empire has required communications over an extended area. In the case of the Ptolemies, who ruled Egypt for three hundred years, the wide-ranging power and cultural achievements of their realm depended on their practical and intellectual mastery of Alexandria's waterborne connections across the Mediterranean and up the Nile.
