| | Cleopatra VII of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Perhaps because of her independent streak a cabal of courtiers led by the eunuch Pothinus, removed Cleopatra from power — possibly in 48 BC, possibly earlier — a decree exists with Ptolemy's name alone from 51 BC. | | | Afrocentric historians, however, claim that ancient Egypt was a predominately black civilization and that most ancient Egyptians were black people, considering that Egypt is an African country. | | | Caesar was so repelled by this treachery that he seized the Egyptian capital and imposed himself as arbiter between the rival claims of Ptolemy and Cleopatra. |

| | In 103 BC, Cleopatra III was allied with the Jewish king Alexander Jannaeus against Lathyrus, and in order to oppose a possible alliance of Lathyrus with Cyzicenus, sent reinforcements to Grypus, and sent Selene, formerly married to Lathyrus, to be his wife. | | | In the ensuing conflict Cleopatra IV was murdered at Antioch at the insistence of Tryphaena (112 BC), who was then herself executed by Cyzicenus upon his recapture of the city. | | | Appian identifies Antiochus as the son of Selene and Antiochus Eusebes, and says he was called Asiaticus because he was brought up in Asia. |

| | Cleopatra Discussion |
| | Cleopatra was indeed very involved in the global politics of her time. | | | Cleopatra still was the last Pharaoh of Egypt since, according to popular opinion, she did outlive Caesarion (Caesarion was killed before Cleopatra commited suicide). | | | However, in her book, "Cleopatra's Daughter," Beatrice Chanler ventured to say that Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphos were murdered on Herod's orders while they were in a scholastic mission to Greece, a few years after Cleopatra Selene left for Numidia with her husband, Juba II. |

| | Selene’s end is also mentioned by Strabo, who says that she was held prisoner for a time by Tigranes at Seleukeia in Commagene, and later executed there. | | | The two sons of Antiochos X and Selene are sent West to gain the Roman Senate’s recognition of their claims, both to the Syrian throne (which the Roman Republic acknowledges, in the right of their father) and to Egypt (in the right of their mother; this plea is denied). | | | This bronze and the other two known examples of Selene’s coinage were likely issued as propaganda pieces, both to emphasize the princelings’ claims, and also to solidify the queen’s own rule over whatever portion of the ancient Syrian state she actually controlled. |

| | Berenice III |
| | Since the queen is referred to second, she must be Berenice III rather than his mother, Cleopatra III, who would have been referred to first. | | | Only if she was a daughter of Cleopatra Selene could there be no doubt about her legitimacy, since Cleopatra IV, unique amongst Ptolemaic queens, was married to Ptolemy IX before his accession, and her divorce was a condition imposed by Cleopatra III for accepting him (Justin 39.3). | | | But the dedication was not made by Ptolemy X and his family, it was made on their behalf by a person whose name is lost. |
