Cleopatra

Since Egypt was under Rome's possession and that it was in debt the motivation was higher. Cleopatra was relatively self-centred and she also wanted to assure her future as Pharaoh by controlling Caesar in a sexual way. She did not accomplish her goal through her affair with Caesar, who was later killed in an assassination mostly planned by Brutus, a senator who never supported Caesar. Octavius was the next heir of the throne, as established by Caesar. Mark Anthony on the other hand was a man that loved Caesar and was a close devoted friend of Caesar's. The roman empire later splits into 2 regions with 2 different leaders. Octavius gains the west and Mark Anthony the gains the east while his romance with Cleopatra continues to grow. He previously married Octavius' sister Octavia however that does not keep him away from fully approaching his relationship with Cleopatra in a most serious way. He marries her and they have a pair of twins, a girl and a boy, and another male child. As a couple they unfortunately lose a major battle which changes everything. Octavius wins the eastern territory. Rome was also struggling with a civil war. Mark dies at Cleopatra's feet and as you may know Cleopatra kills herself with a snake. They were buried together where archaeologists believe was in a place 20 miles away from Alexandria.

Cleopatra has been described as being a whore, an evil and selfish person. It could have been an image created by Octavius in order to make her appear to be a person no one should look up to which such a stereotypical idea, her real self becomes very hard to be studied. She was an intellectual, a very passionate, and technical person. She had a magnetic personality.

She was the last Pharaoh of Egypt. A good movie about Cleopatra is the 1999 production.

Cleopatra' s main goals were to keep her dynasty alive and to keep her country independent.

One of the most famous queens of ancient Egypt is Cleopatra Ptolemy, even though she had more Greek blood than Egyptian. After enduring many hard times--including the death of her sisters, her father, and her younger brother--she finally died in tragedy when her lover, Mark Anthony, believed her to be dead, stabbing himself, and it turned out she was really alive and hiding from him within a church. he was brought to her and slowly died in her arms. She was the last queen of Ancient Egypt. Another well-acknowledged queen was Neferititi. (See are there some Egyptian queens)

We don't know how old Cleopatra was when her mother died. And if you are referring to Cleopatra the VII, we don't know for certain that Cleopatra V was her mother. Some sources say Cleo's mother was a lady from Memphis, but this could very well be Cleopatra V as she is described as a lady of "obscure origins".

As a ruler Cleopatra was able to initially stabilize her position by being allied to Rome. She used Marc Antony to get territorial concessions that made Egypt as large as it was in the heyday of the Pharaohs. By murdering her brother and sister, she was able to insure that her descendants would rule after her---uh, that is, if things had turned out differently after Actium.

Julius Caesar Married lots of Women. He married Cornelia first. Then Lucius Cornelius Cinna, Pompeia, and finally Calpurina. He did not marry Cleopatra but it is thought that they had a few affairs together.

She was born in 69 BC, but no one knows the EXACT date. The most accurate guess would be in early October. She lived from 69 BC to 30 BC, including during the reign of Julius Caesar as ruler of Rome (49-44 BC). Cleopatra was born in January of 69 BC.

Yes actually, he had an affair with her that Cleopatra said ended with a son. Caesar never recognized the child as his own. This has been a subject for much controversy in the course of history.

She ruled Egypt as Queen between 51 BC and 30 BC

she was the last member of the Ptolemy family who took over Egypt after the death of Alexander the great about 300 years before Cleopatra.

Cleopatra had two brothers and three sisters. Her brothers were Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, her sisters were Cleopatra VI, Berenice IV, and Arsinoe IV.

Octavian's fleet defeated Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. Actium was in the northern part of Greece off the Ionian Sea. Actium itself, is a tiny peninsula guarding the entrance to the Ambracian Gulf.

No, Cleopatra did not have a last name as we think of names. Her name was Cleopatra Philopator. However the "Philopater" was a title not a name. It was the custom of the Egyptian rulers to select a title to accompany their given names and Cleo selected Philopater, which means "father loving".

King Farouk was the last king of Egypt who was forced to abdicate by a military coup in 1952. His infant son was then technically the king, but he was just a baby and never ruled. In 1953 the monarchy was abolished and Egypt became a republic.

No, Cleopatra's tomb has not been found. They were actively searching for it but had to put it on hold because of the troubles in Egypt. The latest news is that a group of amateur archaeologists are trying to get permission to carry on the work.

Cleopatra was her own killer. She committed suicide. That's all we know for certain. How she did it is a mystery. There is a myth that she died by snakebite, but that's all it is, a dramatic myth. There are many reasons to doubt the possibility of her demise by snakebite.

it has been found that Marc Antony promoted and spectated at various privatly held gladiator games at undisclosed homes and proprties i would assume these bouts where viewed by his network of senators and polititians and upper social citezens however the evidence remains that his taste for violence and sex and sometimes the mixture of both are undisputed

Cleopatra gave birth to her first child she called Caesarion in 47 BC. The twins were born about 40 BC and Ptolemy Philadelphos about 36 or early 35 BC. These years are approximate, especially for the children with Antony.

Cleopatra successfully fought for power aganist his brother Ptolemy XIII and her sister Arsinoe IV. She also tried, but failed, to overcome the power of Rome and the civil wars between the Romans.

Julius Caesar reached Egypt in pursuit of his enemy Pompey. Ptolemy had Pompey killed and his head offered to Caesar. Horrified, Caesar allied with Cleopatra, who became his lover, and supported her in a civil war against her Ptolemy and Arsinoe. Caesar won. Ptolemy was killed in battle and Arsinoe was taken to Rome as a prisoner. She was then exiled to a sanctuary of Artemis in Turkey. Caesar won the war for Cleopatra.

After Caesar's death, Mac Antony took charge of the Roman territories in the Eastern Mediterranean. Cleopatra became his lover. She got Mac Antony to kill Arsinoe. Marc Antony partitioned the eastern Mediterranean giving partS of it to Cleopatra, the three sons she had with him and the son she had had with Caesar. However, Octavian (later called Augustus) declared war on Cleopatra as an excuse to fight Mac Antony to gain sole power in Rome. Octavian defeated them in a naval battle and landed in Egypt. He overcome their forces and Marc Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide.

The Battle of Actium was the definitive clash of two Romans for supreme power. Although the war was nominally against Cleopatra, it was actually a civil war between the forces of Octavian and the forces of Antony.

Ptolemy Caesar, born in 49 BCE, also known as Caesarion [Καισαρίων] "little Caesar" was the child of Cleopatra VII Philopator and Gaius Julius Caesar the famous Roman military and political leader who played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire.

Cleopatra's brothers' names were Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV. since all the kings of the dynasty were named Ptolemy, they all had "throne names" to identify them, such as Ptolemy Philopater, Ptolemy Euergetes, etc. Cleopatra's brothers never ruled long enough to adopt a distinctive name.

Her pet's name was Arrow, he was a leopard.
