No, Cleopatra killed herself. The exact method is unknown, but the consensus is that she committed suicide by some type of poison.
Asp
No. That story of Cleo killing herself by snakebite it a pure myth. The ancient writers all say that there was no sign of a snakebite on her body and they agree that she died by some type of poison, but don't know exactly how or what type of poison.
Asp' is another name for a snake. Historically, the asp is mentioned in the death of the Queen, Cleopatra.
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.
he commited suicide and, after he died, Cleopatra got a asp (a type of snake) and let it bite her on the breast
Most think that she died due to an asp, a type of snake, bite but she plucked her arm with a poisoned comb which looked like a snake bite. I read about this in a library book.
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.
Yes, we definitely know that Cleopatra committed suicide, but we don't know how. There is a myth that she was bitten by a snake, but that's highly unlikely. Historians think it was by some type of poison.
All we know is that Cleopatra died by some type of poison and it was fairly fast acting. That snake story is nothing but a myth. Even the ancient writers didn't believe it.
