  • Ptolemy II

Answer

Ptolemy IV was the successor to Ptolemy III, who died without any issue. He ruled Egypt from 221 to 205 BC and was the son of Ptolemy III and Berenice II. Ptolemy IV was a weak and indecisive ruler, and his reign was marked by political instability and economic decline. He was eventually assassinated by his sister-wife Arsinoe III, who then took over the throne.
