...1. Pentahedron 2. Pentagon 3. Pentapolis 4. Pentapodic Cyrene was first a Greek colony and then a Roman city. It was located in what is now the modern city of Shahhat. Cyrene gave the Pentapolis its more common name of Cyrenaica, a name that the region still goes by today. The other four Greek cities were Barce, Euhesperides, Taucheira, Balagrae, and Apollonia. Barce would become the modern city of Marj, home of the Abu Bkr Assiddiq Mosque. Euhesperides would become Berenice and is now the present-day city of Benghazi. Benghazi will be discussed later in the quiz. Taucheira would become Arsinoe under the Ptolemies but then reverted back to Taucheria, which is its current name. Balagrae would become present-day Bayda, the fourth largest city in Libya. Bayda is known for having the tomb of Ruwaifi bin Thabit al-Ansari, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. At one time Bayda was supposed to become the capital of Libya and many government buildings were constructed. Those plans were eventually dropped. Apollonia's ruins are found in the modern city of Susa. Evidence shows Apollonia was probably destroyed by the tsunami that resulted from the Crete earthquake in 365 CE. A museum in Susa contains many artifacts from Apollonia. There are also ruins of a Greek theater that stand by the sea outside the old city walls. The palace in Susa was first used as a Roman commander's house and then the Byzantine Duke's Palace. The ruins of three Byzantine era churches are also found in the city.
