In the year 48 B.C., the great Roman general Julius Caesar traveled to the city of Alexandria in Egypt. He took up residence in the Egyptian palace and demanded to have the country's rulers, 21-year-old Cleopatra VII and her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII, brought before him. Cleopatra was hesitant. She and her brother were in the midst of a long and bitter battle for power over Egypt. She thought--with good reason--that her enemies would try to kill her if she were seen approaching the palace. Still, she knew it was important to answer his demand. Caesar was extremely powerful, and Cleopatra knew he could be helpful in her struggle against her brother.
