Which modern day Libyan city has its origins in the times of Ancient Greece that helped form the Pentapolis of Cyrenaica along with the cities of Ptolemais, Tauchira, Apollonia and Euesperides?
Cyrene, Libya Cyrene ( ; Ancient Greek: Κυρήνη, "Kyrēnē" ) was an ancient Greek and Roman city near present-day Shahhat, Libya. It was the oldest and most important of the five Greek cities in the region. It gave eastern Libya the classical name "Cyrenaica" that it has retained to modern times.
Kolonai Kolonai (Ancient Greek: αἱ Κολωναί  "hai Kolōnai" ) was an ancient Greek city in the south-west of the Troad region of Anatolia. It has been located on a hill by the coast known as Beşiktepe ('cradle hill'), about equidistant between Larisa to the south and Alexandreia Troas to the north. It is 3.3 km east of the modern village of Alemşah in the Ezine district of Çanakkale Province, Turkey. Its name in Ancient Greek is the plural form of κολώνη ("kolōnē"), 'hill, mound', a common name for promontories with hills on them in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is not to be confused with 'Lampsacene' Kolonai, a settlement situated in the hills above Lampsacus in the north-east of the Troad.
