  Cleopatra VII of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cleopatra VII Philopator (January 69 BC – August 12, 30 BC) was queen of ancient Egypt, the last member of the Ptolemaic dynasty and hence the last Hellenistic ruler of Egypt.
As co-ruler of Egypt with her father (Ptolemy XII Auletes), her brother/husband Ptolemy XIV, and later her son Caesarion, Cleopatra survived a coup engineered by her brother's courtiers, consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne, and, after Caesar's assassination, aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced twins.
"Cleopatra" is Greek for "father's glory," and her full name, "Cleopatra Thea Philopator" means "the Goddess Cleopatra, the Beloved of Her Father." She was the third daughter of Ptolemy XII Auletes, a Graeco-Egyptian born in Alexandria, Egypt.

 Julius Caesar: The Last Dictator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Cleopatra VII was born in 69 BC, daughter of Ptolemy XII (nicknamed Auletes, the flute-player) and, probably, of his sister, Cleopatra V. She was Ptolemy's third child and was not expected to become queen.
Cleopatra, now secured upon her throne by the death or destruction of all her siblings except the youngest brother, Ptolemy XIV (age 11), was now firmly in charge of her kingdom with three of Caesar's four legions left behind as an occupying army.
Cleopatra and her brother (and her son) then took the extraordinary step of leaving Alexandria in the hands of her ministers and traveling to Rome, where the Queen was set up in state in Caesar's own villa in Trastavere, across the Tiber from Rome.

 Cleopatra Selene queen of Syria
Bernand assigns this to Cleopatra IV, but since it records a decision to dedicate a stele for Ptolemy IX, his sister and his mother in the sanctuary of Chnum at Elephantine, it is evident that the sister is in favour, so Selene seems much the more likely candidate to me. E.
Since Cleopatra IV was never in a position where Cleopatra III could force her to be divorced from Ptolemy X, the only possibility remaining is that she forced a divorce between Ptolemy X and Selene.
Since Selene appears still to have acted on behalf of Antiochus XIII as a regent in Syria at least as late as 73, the latter can have been at most a toddler in the period 92/88.
