Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII went to war around 48 BC, after Ptolemy's supporters opposed Cleopatra's rule in Egypt. Cleopatra was eventually able to defeat Ptolemy XIII's forces with the help of Julius Caesar, solidifying her position as the sole ruler of Egypt.
There is no definitive evidence that Claudius Ptolemy attended a formal school. His education likely came from self-study and learning within intellectual circles of his time. Ptolemy was a Roman citizen of Greek descent known for his work in astronomy and geography.
Ptolemy was an early Greek astronomer, and as most people believed, Ptolemy thought the solar system was geocentric. This meant that Earth was at the center, it was the most important thing, and that all celestial bodies circled it.

The Church did not have a teaching that the Earth was flat. There may have been a few people in the Church who believed that, but the prevailing view was that the Earth was spherical. The most respected source on astronomy in the Middle Ages was Ptolemy, and his Geometry contained arguments that the Earth was spherical and showed its size. Ptolemy did believe that the Earth was the center of the skies and the sun went around it; his argument was that if the sun was at the center, the Earth would have to spin at a thousand miles per hour, and the winds would knock everything down.
no, we went to the moon and saw the earth, round.
Ptolemy went to Cambridge university.
