Cleopatra was a ruler of Egypt as well as Gaius Julius Caeser. Cleopatra and Gaius had a relationship in which she gave birth to a son that they called Ptolemy Caesar who was nicknamed Caesarion.

After Gaius was assassinated, she aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced a set of twins named Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios and a son called Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Mark Antony had committed suicide after his general misheard and believed Cleopatra to be dead. She had him brought to her and she was held prisoner as he died in her arms. She didn't want to be treated like dirt, as Caesarion wanted to bring her to rome to be pulled along the streets. She asked for a sanke to be placed in a basket of figs, as Caesarion did not want her to die. She let the snake bite her, ending her life.

But she most likely killed her self because she went mad after her two husbands died and did not want to dragged around the streets in rome and ended her life with a burning sensation flowing through her body.
