Cleopatra

None to take the throne after her, but Caesarion was co-ruler with her. This is a very important point to bear in mind when studying Egypt and Cleopatra. As co-ruler, her son Caesarion, officially known as Ptolemy XV, was king of Egypt.

Cleopatras crown was meant because she loved her jewelry

The Romans portrayed Cleopatra as an immoral and greedy woman because that is what she was in Roman eyes. She was immoral because she lured Antony way from his Roman wife, the well respected Octavia. Her greed became evident when she negotiated for the territory along the eastern Mediterranean coast which was Roman territory and had been won by Roman soldiers. The Donations of Alexandria proved her greed and immorality to those back in Rome.

Antony and Caesar were two different men with different personalities and different characteristics. They were similar in that each man, when he came to Egypt, was the most powerful Roman in the area. However their differences glared out as Caesar was focused and determined while Antony was easily distracted by luxuries and ease.

The major world events that took place during Cleopatra's reign was the establishing of Cleopatra on the throne by Julius Caesar, the assassination of Julius Caesar, the Roman triumvirate, her alliance with Antony and their defeat at Actium, Octavian conquering Egypt. This latter event ultimately resulted in her suicide.

Cleopatra ruled in the Ptolemaic age in Egypt.

NO

Cleopatra ruled in the Ptolemaic period.

Cleopatra had only two spouses and they were both her brothers. The others were side men.

Cleopatra was never beautiful. That is a myth made up by Shakespeare. She actually had small eyes, high cheekbones, a large hooked nose and a sagging jawline. Her coins bear this out. Even the ancient writer, Plutarch claims that she was not beautiful but had a magnetic personality.

You have to back up a little here. Octavian already had the support of the army and the Roman people before he had the senate declare war. A poll was taken throughout Italy and the people swore to support Octavian. He already had a huge army and the Roman troops that Antony had also went over to Octavian. So Octavian actually had little to do after defeating Antony at Actium except to pay the troops.

Cleopatra's necklace is found in a tomb in Egypt. Whoever finds it faces great death.

There were 7 Cleopatra

Nothing. Cleopatra's reign was only noteworthy for the addition of books to the library at Alexandria. Many of these were confiscated from travelers and many of them were given to her by Antony from the spoils of his eastern campaign.

Cleopatra lived in Egypt because she was an Egyptian (of Greek descent), was born there and ruled there. Egypt was her native country.

No, Cleopatra's last "husband" if you want to call him that, was the one who helped to bring her down and lose the country. Her last so-called husband was Marc Antony and by forming a political alliance with him, Cleopatra tried to fight Rome itself and she lost, big time.

Since Cleopatra was of Greek decent, she ruled in the Ptolemaic dynasty. It was not a numbered dynasty as the Egyptian ones were.

Cleopatra is most remembered for all the myths and misconceptions about her. She is first and foremost remembered as a seductress. Then she is thought of to be a great beauty and from this misconception grew stories about her makeup, perfumes, beauty rituals, etc. Of course, the myth about her dying by being bitten by a snake is probably in a tie for her being a seductress. Although none of these things were necessarily true about Cleopatra, they are what she is remembered for in history.

The Greek elite of Alexandria was the social class most affected by Cleopatra's regime. Some of them prospered greatly under her friendship while others were ruined financially and some even executed. The priestly class benefited also, as Cleopatra tended to use them to keep the commoners calm.

Only one Cleopatra ruled Egypt and that was Cleopatra VII. There were six other women named Cleopatra before her, but they were wives/daughters of pharaohs and did not rule.

The last important Cleopatra was Cleopatra VII. She is the one who is so famous and misunderstood. There may have been other Cleopatras after her as Cleopatra was a very common name in the Hellenistic world.

No. Cleopatra 7 is the daughter of Ptolemy XII and an unknown mother.

Cleopatra worn a wide Egyptian necklace.

No, remember they were Ptolemies and the Ptolemies were notorious for killing each other off. Cleo's father killed his own daughter and Cleopatra herself caused one brother and one sister to be murdered. There was no way that they got along.
