Is it for sure that Cleopatra died from a snake bit?

It has been told that Cleopatra grabbed a snake and let it bite her so that she may die because her lover had killed himself. But this is just a myth. No, Cleopatra did not die by a snake bite. There are several good reasons that she would not use a snake to kill her. The ancient writers say that she died by some type of poison and modern research has come up with the theory that she died of a combination of three poisons which were readily available to her.

What caused Cleopatra to die?

she commited suicide when she heard that atony(?) died in battle, so she thought that if she killed herself, she could see him, so she took the smallest, most poisonest snake and held to her breast and she died. hopefully that answers your question... if not.. cannot help you there. At least that is what the pop historians would like you to believe. In reality we do not know exactly how Cleopatra died, but we know that it was some type of poison. A snake bite would be incorrect for several reasons. The latest thinking is that she poisoned herself with a mixture of three poisonous herbs.
