The Ptolemaic Royal Palace was the residence of the Ptolemaic pharaohs from 323 BCE to 30 BCE. Situated on the island of Antirhodos, it was occupied well into the Roman era until the Severan dynasty, and sank in 365 CE due to a tsunami created by an earthquake off the island of Crete.
History
In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa infiltrated the house of the scribe in the royal palace. There, he searched through the scribe's office, discovering a series of letters exchanged by the royal scribe Eudoros with members of the Order of the Ancients, confirming his suspicions about Eudoros' identity.[1]
A year later in 47 BCE, Bayek, alongside his wife Aya, Apollodorus and Cleopatra travelled to the palace to meet with the Roman general Julius Caesar. Apollodorus posed as a Phylakitai of Heliopolis carrying Cleopatra in a carpet while Aya and Bayek posed as his servants carrying gifts. Escorted by a Roman legionary, they interrupted the meeting between Caesar and Cleopatra's brother Ptolemy XIII.[2]
