Synopsis: The death of Tiberius, elevation of Caligula, and final years of King Ptolemy I. “Ptolemy, whom (Caligula) invited from his kingdom, and received with great honors, he suddenly put to death, for no other reason, but because he observed that upon entering the theatre, at a public exhibition, he attracted the eyes of all the spectators, by the splendor of his purple robe.” – Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars, XXXV “Meanwhile Gaius sent for Ptolemy, the son of Juba, and on ascertaining that he was wealthy put him to death.” – Cassius Dio, Roman History, Book 59http://s407341505.onlinehome.us/Episode_B12_Antonii.mp3Heirs of Mark Antony:http://s407341505.onlinehome.us/7_Antonii_36AD_1.pdfhttp://s407341505.onlinehome.us/8_Antonii_36AD_2.pdf
