Why is Ptolemy III her "Successor"
editThe box about the "office" of Seleucid Queen she held, lists Ptolemy III Euergetes (King of Egypt and her brother) as her "successor". I feel like, if there's any actual justification for this, it has not been made clear, because I highly doubt that Ptolemy III ever became a Seleucid Queen. Is this saying he became king of the Seleucid empire in some sense whenever he invaded it to avenge her death? I don't think he actually conquered it, but I'm no expert on these things.DubleH (talk) 18:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, he seems to have exercised kingship over Mesopotamia for a year or two after her death; but (a) it's not certain he claimed the title and (b) she was never the actual ruler of the Seleucid empire, so he would be the successor of her son, not of her. Furius (talk) 22:34, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
