Answer 1

Julius Caesar defeated Ptolemy XII on March 27, 47 BC and established Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII on the Egyptian throne. He then proceeded against Pharnaces II, king of Pontus, who had taken advantage of the civil war to reclaim territory lost by his father, Mithridates VI, defeating him at Zela on August 2. The question is how long Caesar remained at Alexandria before leaving for Pontus.

In a letter to Atticus dated July 5, Cicero, who had deserted Pompey after his loss at Pharsalus, writes that he heard a rumor that Caesar had left the city (XI.25.2). The month before, on June 19, Cicero still despaired of any knowledge about Caesar's departure—83 days after his victory over Ptolemy (XI.18.1). If the same amount of time was required to report news of Caesar leaving Egypt, it would have occurred about April 10, two weeks after the Battle of the Nile. Hirtius, the other primary source, speaks in the Bellum Alexandrinum (XXXIII.4) of the time between the establishment of Cleopatra and Caesar's departure as being "within a few days," which Lord understands to mean not more than a month and perhaps as little as two weeks, i.e., sometime between the middle and end of April. Calculating the time it would take to travel to Zela, he concludes that Caesar could not have left Alexandria later than May 5, 38 days after his victory over Pharnaces.

Writing almost two centuries after the events he describes, Appian is the only other ancient authority to speak of the sojourn of Caesar and Cleopatra. "He made a voyage on the Nile to look at the country with a flotilla of 400 ships in the company of Cleopatra, and enjoyed himself with her in other ways as well" (The Civil Wars, II.90; also Dio, Roman History, XLII.45.1 "She would have detained him even longer in Egypt"). No more contemporary sources mention the cruise, however, and, given the relatively brief time Caesar remained in Alexandria, it is possible that the voyage did not occur at all or was only of short duration.
