Cleopatra first took the throne at age 18 (some sources say 17) when her father died, and she took the throne with her younger brother Ptolemy XIII, who was just ten years old at the time. Ptolemy XIII's guardians forced Cleopatra out, so she sought alliance with Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar and his army defeated Ptolemy XIII, and Caesar restored Cleopatra to the throne at age 22, alongside the youngest of her brothers, Ptolemy XIV. This was in 47 BC.

A year later, evidently charming Julius Caesar, Cleopatra gave birth to his son, cementing the alliance between Egypt and Rome. Sources vary, with some stating Cleopatra stayed in Rome and other stating she made several visit to Rome. Either way, after Caesar was assassinated, Cleopatra arranged for Ptolemy XIV to be poisoned. She then took the throne, establishing herself as co-ruler with her infant son. She was 25.
