Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, faced defeat by Roman forces led by Octavian (later Augustus) after her ally Mark Antony's defeat at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. Following their defeat, she and Antony both committed suicide in 30 BC, with Cleopatra famously using a poisonous asp. Her death marked the end of Hellenistic rule in Egypt, leading to its annexation by Rome. Cleopatra's legacy endures through her portrayal in literature, film, and art as a powerful and enigmatic figure.
