―Description of Cyrenaica.

Cyrenaica (Greek: Kyrenaika) is the eastern coastal region of Libya. In antiquity, the region was a Greek colony founded by Battos I in the 7th century BCE, who established the city of Cyrene in the area.

By 49 BCE, control of the region was ceded to the Roman Republic which, together with Krete, formed the province of Crete and Cyrenaica.

History

In 47 BCE, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa travelled to Cyrenaica in pursuit of the Roman proconsul and Order of the Ancients leader Flavius Metellus, who was in possession of an Apple of Eden. Along the way, he met and helped the healer Praxilla, who directed him to Cyrene to seek out her friend Diocles. Diocles in turn directed Bayek to the Roman Akropolis, where Flavius was located, allowing Bayek to assassinate the Roman and reclaim the Apple.
