Chalkon - Ptolemaios XII

Ptolemy XII Auletes ("the Flute Player") spent much of his reign bribing Roman officials to secure recognition of his legitimacy, eventually paying Julius Caesar and Pompey staggering sums — reportedly 6,000 talents to Gabinius alone for military restoration after his expulsion by Alexandrian mobs in 58 BC. These bronzes were struck in the final years of his restored rule, a reign kept alive entirely by Roman money and Roman soldiers.

His daughter Cleopatra VII came to power immediately after this issue ceased.
