	~~'''Ptolemais / Acco''' (now Acre or Akko, Israel) is a city on the Mediterrenean coast.~~

	~~==History==~~

	Acco is one of the oldest settlements of the region, due to its strategic geographical location. The Canaanite-Phoenician city is mentioned already in Egyptian sources. It was conquered and destroyed by the Assyrians.

	~~In the Persian period Acco raised again as an important administrative, military and economic center, especially from the time of [[Cambyses I]] on.~~

	In 332 BCE the city peacefully surrendered to [[Alexander the Great]]. [[Ptolemy II Philadelphus]] secured its possession to the Ptolemaic kingdom and renamed it Acco-Ptolemais. At the beginning of the 2nd century Ptolemais then fell into the hands of the Seleucids. In 104 it was briefly conquered by [[Alexander Jannaeus]], went back to Ptolemaic rule, and in 69 BCE was besieged and taken by the Armenian King [[Tigranes the Great]].

	With the Roman conquest by [[Pompey]] in 63 BCE, Ptolemais was annexed to the province of Syria with an autonomous status. According to the Acts of the Apostles, [[Paul of Tarsus]] visited it while traveling from [[Tyre]] to [[Caesarea Maritima]].
