What is Cleopatra most remembered for in history?

Cleopatra is most remembered for all the myths and misconceptions about her. She is first and foremost remembered as a seductress. Then she is thought of to be a great beauty and from this misconception grew stories about her makeup, perfumes, beauty rituals, etc. Of course, the myth about her dying by being bitten by a snake is probably in a tie for her being a seductress. Although none of these things were necessarily true about Cleopatra, they are what she is remembered for in history.
