Alexandria Battle, the military causes between Julius Caesar and the forces holding Ptolemy XIII (51-47 B.C.E.) in Egypts capital. Caesar was under besieging in Alexandria from August 48 B.C.E. to February 47 B.C.E. after putting Cleopatra VII on the throne and expatriating Ptolemy to the desert. The Romans represented the royal residency at Alexandria from land effects and an Egyptian naval effect. Setting fire to these ships, Caesar inadvertently engulfed the Library of Alexandria in flames as well. Caesar as well took Pharos Island, the site of the beacon of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
By January 47 B.C.E., Caesar was thoroughly included by Egyptians, but Mithridates of Pergamum come with 20,000 men. Caesar had sent for him at the start of the campaign. When the new allies entered the difference, Caesar went out to confront Ptolemy XIII in the desert part. The battle of the Nile resulted, with Caesar winning.
