Cleopatra

Marc Antony gave Cleopatra the so-called "victory" over the king of Armenia, but more importantly, he gave her territory that by right of conquest belonged to the Roman people. She received territory all along the eastern Mediterranean, making her rule almost as much territory as the ancient Pharaohs. However this was also self-serving, as were all tier deals, because it gave Antony access to a clear path to Greece and timbers to construct ships that were needed for the battle of Actium.

yes because she led a war against them

There is no record of Cleopatra ever being an active fan of any sport. She did participate in fishing outings with Marc Antony, but whether she actually enjoyed fishing or she was just going along to further influence Antony is unknown.

We do not know for certain what Cleopatra liked or disliked regarding food, with the exception of Camel's hoofs, which were purported to be one of her favorite foods. We do know, however that she, like most of the Ptolemies, liked to eat.

Cleopatra's main interest was preserving her country's independence and her dynasty. She may have had personal interests but they have not come down to us. She followed through with the established customs of her predecessors without making any drastic changes,

Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, was not Arabic; she was of Macedonian Greek descent. Her family, the Ptolemies, were descendants of Ptolemy I Soter, a general of Alexander the Great, and they ruled Egypt after Alexander's death. Cleopatra's ancestry included some Egyptian heritage through her mother, but she predominantly identified with her Greek roots. The Arabic presence in Egypt came much later, after the Arab conquest in the 7th century.

Cleopatra has never inspired others except in the advertising world. The few positive things that she did have been overshadowed by all the negative hype about her. Her image/name has been used by advertisers for everything from perfumes, cigarettes, revealing costumes, incense, etc.

Marc Antony

Mark Antony died in 30 BC, and shortly thereafter, Cleopatra took her own life. Following Antony's defeat by Octavian (the future Emperor Augustus), Cleopatra faced the prospect of being paraded as a captive in Rome. To avoid this humiliation, she chose to commit suicide, reportedly by allowing a snake to bite her. Thus, while Antony's death preceded hers, Cleopatra was not killed by anyone; she died by her own hand.

The last known descendant of Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, is often considered to be her son Caesarion, whom she had with Julius Caesar. After Cleopatra's death in 30 BC, Caesarion was captured and killed by Octavian's forces. The Ptolemaic line continued through her other children, particularly with Mark Antony, but Cleopatra's direct lineage effectively ended with Caesarion. Subsequent claims to her legacy have been made, but they are not direct descendants.

Cleopatra's tomb has not been found. Therefore we don't know if she were mummified or not. However as she followed the Egyptian religion, there's a good possibility that she was actually mummified. We will not know for certain until her tomb is found.

He was 22 when he died. Well his mother was evil so I don't blame the Octavian army.

Cicero attended one of the receptions where Cleopatra presided. He was not impressed with her and in fact, complained to his friend Atticus that she was indolent and in addition, was insulted by one of her servants a day later.

where is the answer? I see Repair Pool leak which has nothing to do with the question. My Question is What was Cleopatra Contributions to Egypt"

Cleopatra is infamous due to the propaganda spread around by Octavian. Although the object of the propaganda was Antony, Cleopatra was the cause. Then William Shakespeare put his own fictional twist on her in his play which added to her reputation.

No, she was not that significant of a pharaoh for the Egyptians to erect any type of monument to her memory. Cleopatra herself did not build anything except a temple to Julius Caesar. The only image of her is carved-into the temple wall at Dendara, where she finished a project that her father had begun.

The Roman empire ruled Egypt after the death of Cleopatra.

Yes, Cleo died when she was a Pharaoh. she was the last Pharaoh of Egypt.

We can't say for certain if Cleopatra had herself wrapped in a carpet to gain access to Caesar. Some sources say she was wrapped in a carpet, others say she was in a large jug, and yet others say she was in a laundry sack. However, the story is so widespread, that she must have wrapped herself in something to get to Caesar.

No. Cleopatra lost that war, big time. In addition, she also lost her kingdom.

There is no real mention of any domestic cats in Cleopatra's household even if she was Pharaoh. Since Cleopatra was Greek, not Egyptian, it is unclear whether she was a devotee of Egyptian religion or not. It is known that she maintained her residence in Alexandria, but the question remains, did she worship in the Egyptian manner?

If she did, then the cat would have been part of her household. Bastet was a well followed Egyptian goddess, identified by the Greek Cleopatra as Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon. Since the physical representation of Bastet is a domestic cat, it would seem certain that there were cats in her household.

But did she personally have a named cat? No one knows.

Cleopatra never accomplished much of any significance. Her main accomplishment was her deal with Caesar which gave her the throne. Her other "accomplishments" would be giving birth to four children who lived.

With the clear vision of hindsight we can say yes, Cleopatra had a few interesting beliefs. She thought that she was Isis, she thought that she could win and rule Rome, are just two of them.
