Cleopatra VII in Teos?

Abstract

An inscription from Teos in Ionia, known from a squeeze preserved at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, was carved on an altar dedicated by a Teian woman to three deified queens and a living queen, Cleopatra. It is proposed that the living queen is Cleopatra VII, and that the occasion for the setting up of the altar is her stay with Marcus Antonius in Samos in 33 and 32. The other queens may be Berenice I and Arsinoe II of Egypt and Cleopatra Thea of Syria. An additional note concerns an altar set up on behalf of Demetrius I of Syria and his sister Laodice.
