The aim of this short article is to place the relations established between Rome and Alexandria until the moment of the Egyptian take-over by Augustus in 31 b.C.. The intention is to demonstrate how a few happenings of the I century b.C. involving Alexandria reflected in the Roman mentality, therefore, the Empire started to view the city as a focus of attention and problems. Consequently, the conquest of Egypt and the policy adopted by Augustus to incorporate it to the Empire, are related to the manner they had Alexandria as a potential threat to Rome.
