The pair had the same adversary-Ptolemy XIII, Cleopatra’s brother. According to ancient sources, the queen snuck into the palace to meet Caesar and try to form an alliance with the Roman leader. When Caesar was welcomed into Alexandra, the center of Ptolemaic Egypt, Cleopatra saw an opportunity to regain power.
As the war raged on, Ptolemy XIII, Cleopatra’s brother, sanctioned the murder of the Roman general Pompey, who was Julius Caesar’s rival.
