No one knows for sure, except that her death was caused by some type of poison. There is a myth about the bite of the asp, but that's all it is, even the ancient writers agree on this point. Octavian was willing to go along with the myth of the snakebite to placate the Egyptians and avoid having to take Cleopatra to Rome.
