No, unfortunately, there have been no monuments of any type made to honor Cleopatra. According to the ancient writers there were statues of her in Alexandria and Octavian allowed them to remain, but none of them have drifted down to us. Also bear in mind that Cleopatra was not a major pharaoh of Egypt, who would deserve some monument dedicated to her memory. We remember her today because of all the hype surrounding her and because she was the last ruler of ancient Egypt and her gender. In her own time, she was simply a queen of a wealthy country who had overreaching ambition.
