Historical background

Tyre on the coast of today's Lebanon was the most powerful city of the Phoenicians, mother city of Carthage and Gades and famed for its purple dye. The island city withstood many sieges until Alexander the Great took it in 332 BC after seven months by building a causeway. Under Rome it remained a wealthy trading city.
