| This seige was difficult due to the city having been built on an island in a harbor, but Alexander's use of boats fitted with seige weapons led to his victory over this trading cit | |
| A minor seige similar to the one mentioned above, this city was built on a high hill, but was eventually captured through many of the same tactics used at Alexander's earlier seige | |
