Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator at the end of the Alexandrian War between Caesar and the Ptolemaic forces, Ptolemy XIV was elevated by Caesar to corulership with Cleopatra. When his sister followed Caesar to Rome in 46, Ptolemy accompanied her. Little is recorded about his stay there; but after Caesar's death, when his sister returned to Egypt, the young king died—probably at Cleopatra's command—and her son, Ptolemy Caesar, became joint ruler with the queen.
