Summary of the previous part: Panicked by the burning city and the siege that prevents its population from fleeing, Pharaoh seeks advice from his sister and wife, Cleopatra. He hopes that the close relationship between Caesar and Cleopatra might help find a solution.

Caesar decides to present Pharaoh with gifts to appease the situation...
