The Ptolemaic princess Cleopatra Selene I, widow…

69 BCE

The Ptolemaic princess Cleopatra Selene I, widow of Seleucid king Antiochus X Eusebes, had traveled to Rome, some time after the conquest of Syria (83 BCE) by Armenian king Tigranes the Great, to have her sons recognized as kings of Egypt, but to no avail.

They are there between at least between 75 BCE and 73 BCE; recognized as "Kings of Syria", they "maintained a royal state" (Bevan, p. 263).

Finally, in 69 BCE, Tigranes besieges Cleopatra Selene I in Ptolemais, seizing and brutally killing her in Seleucia.
