Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The downfall of the Phoenicians occurred when Alexander the Great defeated Persia in 333 BC!. Almost all of the Phoenician cities including Sidon, Byblos, and Arwad conceded to Macedonia!. Tyre, the only city which didn't forfeit to the Macedonians, held strong until Alexander waged a 7 month siege in 332 BC!. After the siege of Tyre, the Phoenician Empire dwindled, and in 64 BC the name of Phoenicia disappeared entirely, becoming a part of the Roman providence of Syria!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Phoenicians were a very early civilization -- from about 1200 BC to 800 BC -- on the Mediterranean coast near what is now Israel, Lebanon, and Syria!. They were also one of the strongest of the maritime superpowers of their time!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
