Cleopatra's younger half-sister, Arinsoe and the Older Ptolemy rise up against Cleopatra after she takes the throne. With Caesar's help, Arinsoe and Ptolemy are put out of power, though they are given a leadership role by Caesar. Arinsoe is later taken prisoner by the Romans and is initially exiled, though she is killed by Marc Antony at Cleopatra's request.
