Origin[]
Ptolemy Neos Dionysos Theos Philopator Theos Philadelphos (117 BC - 51 BC) was an Egyptian king of Macedonian descent and father of Cleopatra (VII). Although he himself wasn't a strong willed king he would surround himself with people of knowledge to help him rule, his generals and his wife Cleopatra V.
In 58 BC Ptolemy failed to comment on the Roman conquest of Cyprus, a territory ruled by his brother. This failure enticed the population of Egypt to start a rebellion eventually exiling the king and his family. With Rome's backing Ptolemy attempted to retake the throne by killing the leader of the rebellion along with several of his men. It was a start but not good enough so Ptolemy hired a Roman Statesman, Aulus Gabinius to invade Egypt. Gabinius and his men defeated the Egyptian frontier forces and returned Ptolemy to the throne. Before their final battle Ptolemy would sit with Gabinius and his men, playing music on his flute to put them at ease.
