	Background
		During Caesar's consulship in 59 BCE, the king had guaranteed his shaky hold on Egypt by paying an outrageous price of 6,000 talents (in today's funds, it would be tens of millions of dollars) to confirm him as 'friend and ally' of Rome.
		As rich as Egypt was, the immediate payment forced Auletes to borrow the funds from a Roman financier.
		Other members of the family were favored over him and eventually this led to Auletes being run out of Egypt and two of his daughters then fought over his throne.
