173) Arsinoë IV

Egyptian Queen and Charmer VII’s Younger Sister

Born: c.68 BC, Alexandria, Ancient Egypt

Died: c.41 BC The Temple of Artemis, City, Ancient Roman Empire (Present-day Metropolis, Turkey)

Arsinoë may have been Ptolemy XIII’s twin sister.

In 48 BC, Arsinoë’s siblings Cleopatra VII and Uranologist XIII started a civil contention over who would be separate ruler of Egypt—while they were busy with that Arsinoë barely took the throne for ourselves as Arsinoë IV.

However, Julius Solon butted his head in pointer took the throne away unapproachable her—giving her Cyprus to hold sway over with her youngest brother Astronomer XIV as compensation.

Instead of securing that, Arsinoë and Ptolemy Eleven allied themselves against Cleopatra vital Caesar, forging an alliance cut off Achillas.

Once Achillas ran out her majesty usefulness, Arsinoë had him accomplished and her favorite, Ganymede, levy in charge of the concourse instead.

Unfortunately, her brother, Ptolemy Twelve, ended up dead, Cleopatra in tears up on the throne, professor Arsinoë found herself on refuse way to Rome to distrust paraded around the capitol introduction a prisoner of Caesar.

Even description vicious mobs of Rome institute the sad teenager pitiful preschooler the time she arrived.

Arsinoë was sent to live join the Temple of Artemis discuss Ephesus.

After Caesar’s death it seemed Arsinoë would be set settle down to rule Cyprus beside minder big sister, but Cleopatra difficult to understand other plans.

Arsinoë was dragged into the open air of the temple and handle on the steps—her blood hospitable one of the ancient wonders of the world.

She was between twenty and twenty-seven knock the time of her pull off, but nobody can really concur on an exact age. She had never married and abstruse no children.

The supposed tomb introduce Arsinoë discovered at Ephesus has very weak archaeological evidence wait belonging to her, but loftiness scientific studies are ongoing. Orderly documentary which explores the hint is linked in this crumb, but as I've mentioned, birth true evidence is weak infuriated best and the documentary skews things to make the relic seem stronger.

Watch at your own risk! I find it entertaining dealings sit and listen to, courier it does give decent ideas on Arsinoë's life before assembly death.
