Cleopatra VII's reign was marked by political acumen and strategic alliances, particularly with powerful Roman figures like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. While she sought to protect and enhance Egypt's position, her relationships were often complex and opportunistic, sometimes prioritizing her ambitions over the welfare of her constituents. Historical accounts suggest she was a capable ruler who implemented policies benefiting Egypt, but her legacy is also intertwined with manipulations and the tumultuous politics of her time. Ultimately, opinions on her fairness vary, reflecting the complexities of her leadership and the challenges she faced.

Was Queen Cleopatra Greek or Roman?

Cleopatra was a descendant of a Macedonian, Greek general. SHe had Egyptian blood running deeply in her veins however. Ptolemy, her ancsetor, came to Egypt and set up shop and dynasty there. I hope I helped. Incorrect. Cleopatra did not have ANY Egyptian blood running thru her veins. To answer the question: she was Greek. Cleopatra came from a family, the Ptolemaic Dynasty, who were of Greek origins and INBRED with one another, this inbreeding not only suggests they preserved their Hellenic ethnicity and culture but their bloodline would have been preserved as well and since they came from a region in Greece where fair coloring is very common then Cleopatra as ancient depictions clearly show, was fair colored. Her ancient busts and coins show a European light skinned woman; this bust from her time period still has traces of reddish gold that was her hair color.


Why did Cleopatra lower taxes for farmers?

Simple as is. Cleopatra lowered taxes on farmers because she believed that they needed their fair estate. Since farmers were uneducated and had a hard life, it wasn't very nice to tax them so much when they made so little.


Did Cleopatra have a best friend?

No names of Cleopatra's inner circle of friends have come down to us. She had friends, or at least "fair weather" friends, as they formed the social club of Extravagant Livers. The only person of note that seemed to be Cleopatra's friend, and asked for her help was Herod's mother-in-law, Alexandria. You could consider Marc Antony a friend in a way.


What color was Cleopatra's hair?

Cleopatra was in fact a Macedonian Greek who was fair skinned and either a brunette or blonde. She had no Egyptian, Carthaginian, or any other type African blood in her body. She was the last of 12 Pharoahs of the Ptolemaic Dynasty who were put into power by Alexander the Great, (a Macedonian Greek) when he conquered the Middle East. The Ptolemy's interbred so there was no possible way of her have been anything other than Greek. Cleopatra followed this line of interbreeding between family members by marrying two of her brothers before the whole Caesar and Marc Antony mess. This information can be found on many numerous credited history sites online as well as in actual history books. Most people associate the Cleopatra they have seen on TV and in Movies as the actual historical figure where they portray her as being dark skinned or Egyptian.

Are the relatives of celebrities fair game too?

Relatives are a fair game too!! But the thing is the media isn't really interested in a celebrity's relative's life . They just want the public to know that celebrities have relatives and they're named... They don't go in to the details In that case ! They're only focused on the celebrities and that's it . They just want to give people extra information. :)
