Cleopatra IV reigned as queen of Egypt briefly from 116-115 BC, jointly with her husband Ptolemy IX Lathyros. She later became queen consort of Syria.

- She married Lathyros, her brother, in 116 BC, and thus became joint ruler of Egypt. However, her high position only lasted a few months, for their mother and co-ruler Cleopatra III pushed her out and replaced her with Cleopatra Selene. - - Very upset with her mother, Cleopatra fled Egypt and went to Cyprus, where she raised an army in an attempted to marry her other brother, Ptolemy X Alexander. However, Alexander wouldn't marry her, so she went to Syria, where Antiochus IX Cyzicenus accepted her large army as a dowry and married her.
