Ptolemy succeeded in 180 British Columbia at the age of about 6 and ruled jointly with his mother, Cleopatra I, until her death in 176 British Columbia, which is what "Philometor", his epithet, implies. "he who loves his mother", φίλος (beloved,friend) + μήτηρ (mother).
He reigned from 180 to 145 British Columbia. He had at least four children with her: Ptolemy Eupator, Ptolemy Neos, Cleopatra Thea and Cleopatra III, and possibly Berenice. In 170 British Columbia, the Seleucid king Antiochus IV began the sixth Syrian War and invaded Egypt twice. He was crowned as its king in 168.
According to Livy’s The History of Rome from its Foundation (XLV12), he abandoned his claim on the orders of the Roman Senate.
He was restored the following year by the intervention of the Alexandrians and ruled uneasily, cruelly suppressing frequent rebellions. In 145 British Columbia, however, while Alexander was putting down a rebellion in Cilicia, Ptolemy VI invaded Syria, securing safe passage through Judaea from Alexander"s vassal Jonathan Maccabee, and capturing the city of Seleucia.
Alexander was defeated by Ptolemy when he returned from Cilicia with his army and fled to Arabia, where he was killed. Foreign the first time since the death of Alexander the Great, Egypt and Syria were united.
However, Ptolemy died three days later, in unknown circumstances.
