| | Egypt: Rulers, Kings and Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt: Cleopatra VII & Ptolemy XIII |
 | | The Ptolemies were Macedonian in decent, but ruled as Egyptians, as Pharaohs. | | | Even though Egypt was on the verge of economic collapse, Cleopatra put on a show for Mark Antony that even Ptolemy Philadelphos couldn't have done better. | | | He was murdered as he stepped ashore on September 28, 48 BC. |

| | Cleopatra Discussion |
| | 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. | | | I don't believe Cleopatra VII or Egypt had any formal diplomatic ties with those countries because they were under Roman control already when she became queen. | | | However, from a political perspective, she could have "seduced" Octavian by probably suggesting an alliance of sorts, again bargaining with the Ptolomaic treasures that she (Cleopatra) was holding as ransom inside her quarters, ready to be set on fire, if Octavian does not cooperate. |
