Which Egyptian library, under the patronage of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, did Julius Caesar burn? This library contained some of the most important books from antiquity.
Explanation
Answer: D -The Library of Alexandria was the largest, most important library in the ancient period. With over 40,000 book scrolls burned, the fire of 48 BC was the most significant loss on ancient literature, as some of the works found in this library had only one copy. While there has been some debate regarding the issue of the actual location of the library in proximity to the fire, there is no definitive evidence that supports any claim as the correct one.
