The position of Cyprus in the north-eastern
Mediterranean and its wealth of natural
resources led to close contact with the
neighbouring mainlands and Greece to
the west.
According to the Roman writer Pliny the
Elder, Cyprius (Latin: Cypriot) also meant the
metal copper. The people of Cyprus had
grown rich from mining copper and shipping
ingots of metal across the Mediterranean.
The fertile island also produced timber,
wine, textiles, corn and medicinal plants.
The Ashmolean's collections illustrate
the wealth of ancient Cyprus, its cultural
and commercial connections, and the
daily life of its people.

After it was seized by Alexander, the city gradually
became part of the Greek-speaking world of the
eastern Mediterranean. This was the period in which
it acquired the Greek name of Byblos. Around 64 BC,
Byblos became part of the Roman Empire.It was no
longer an important port, but reinvented itself, this
time as a 'sacred place' and a place of pilgrimage
The ancient city was completely rebuilt to make
space large new complexes, bathhouses
for
temple
and a theatre. The new districts were connected by
monumental streets. Where the Temple of the Obelisks
had once stood, a temple complex was built to Adonis,
the most important local god. Byblos continued to
exist after the Roman period, but from then on,
the old stories lost their power and new religions
and myths emerged
