Egypt
After the death of Pharaoh Ptolemy IX. rules his wife Cleopatra Berenike III. Egypt alone for a few months. However, after about six months, the Alexandrians - who allegedly do not like the sole rule of women - persuaded her to call her stepson Ptolemy XI from Rome . to marry. Probably relying on the support of the Roman dictator Sulla , he has his wife murdered in June after 18 or 19 days of marriage. Since the slain queen enjoyed great popularity among the people, Ptolemy XI. shortly afterwards lynched by members of a protection force with the consent of the angry Alexandrians in the high school in Alexandria and imposed the damnatio memoriae on him.
