Relationships with other locations
This displays relationships with locations within which the item falls, and relationships which it contains. We only display the immediate relationships, not a full series. If a location falls within Cyrene, we do not also display its relationship to Cyrenaica; similarly, if Cyrene contains the Agora, we do not also display the items within the Agora at the same level.Parent features

Notes
After the marriage (around the middle of the 3rd century BC) of Ptolemy III to Berenice, daughter of the Cyrenean Governor Magas, the settlement of Euesperides became "Berenice". The change of name also involved a relocation. Berenice lies underneath Benghazi's modern city centre.
