# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born between 246 and 245 BC to Ptolemy III and Berenice II, Arsinoe III followed the Ptolemaic custom and married her brother Ptolemy IV, ruling alongside him from 220 BC. Where earlier queens in the dynasty had married brothers in name, she broke new ground by producing an heir from the match. She held power for sixteen years until her death in 204 BC, navigating the strange arithmetic of a kingdom that confused bloodline with statecraft.
