Julius Caesar traveled to Egypt to chase his enemy Pompey. Caesar fought Pompey in a civil war.
Caesar was involved with Egypt on several levels. Most people focus on his relationship with Cleopatra and exclude his other Egyptian involvements. He did follow Pompey to Egypt, but not entirely to accept Pompey's surrender. Ptolemy XII, (Cleopatra's father) had been ousted from Egypt and wanted his throne back. In order to get it back he had to pay off many Romans to get their support and consequently ran up a massive debt to Roman money lenders. Caesar and Pompey bought up the debt, and with the death of Ptolemy XII, Caesar wanted to see about his money. He also consulted with the Egyptian astronomers on his restructuring of the calendar. He also had to fight the Alexandrian war after trouble with Ptolemy XIII.

∙ 13y agoJulius Caesar had a three purposes in traveling to Egypt in 48 BC. One purpose was to chase down Pompey, who he found had been murdered by the Egyptians. The second purpose was to see about getting his money. Cleopatra's father had borrowed a massive amount of money from Roman money lenders to finance his restoration to the throne. Caesar and Pompey bought up the debt, and with Pompey being dead, Caesar was owed the money. The third reason was to settle the dispute between Cleopatra and her brother, as Cleopatra's father had named Rome as Egypt's protectorate.

Hollywood and William Shakespeare would have you believe that they were tragic lovers but the reality of their relationship was mainly political.

I do not think Ptolemy moved to Rome. Cleopatra lived there briefly as mistress of Julius Caesar, with full knowledge of Caesar's wife and the Roman people, but Caesar was so powerful and popular at the time that this indiscretion was tolerated. After Caesar's assassination, I think Cleopatra returned to Egypt. Her plans to revisit Rome as a conqueress, with her new husband Marc Antony, were thwarted at the Battle of Actium. Not sure what happened to Ptolemy XIII after Caesar replaced him with his sister Cleopatra.
