Siege of Alexandria (297–298)

The city of Alexandria was besieged by the Roman emperor Diocletian for eights months in 297–298 after it joined an Egypt-wide revolt led by Lucius Domitius Domitianus and Aurelius Achilleus. The city ultimately surrendered and was treated severely by Diocletian. Diocletian's victory column in Alexandria still stands.
