Berenice III
Berenice III (Greek: Βερενίκη; 120–80 BC), also known as Cleopatra, ruled between 101 and 80 BC. Modern scholars studying Berenice III refer to her sometimes as Cleopatra Berenice. She was queen consort of Ptolemaic Egypt, or possibly queen regnant, with her uncle/husband Ptolemy X Alexander I, from 101 to 88 BC and again in 81 BC, before reigning as sole monarch of Egypt from 81 to 80 BC.
