Notes

Note 1

In 40, Caligula invited Ptolemy to Rome, with the pretext of being his relative. Caligula welcomed him with appropriate honors. As Ptolemy entered an amphitheater during a gladiatorial show, he wore a purple cloak that attracted admiration. Out of jealousy, Caligula ordered Ptolemy's execution.
