In 332 BC, the once great island city of Tyre lay a smouldering wreck. Alexander of Macedon had reduced its supposedly impenetrable fortress to rubble after a seven-month siege.
A new wall stood amid the ruins of the old one. This wall, however, was not made of bricks and mortar.
Instead, the island was encircled by 2,000 crucifixes, with Tyrian men strung up on each one. The last sight their half dead eyes would ever see was their victorious enemy marching away, glittering in spectacular armour, off to conquer the world.
