Cleopatra

Julius Caesar established Cleopatra on the throne.

Cleopatra's son, that she claimed was from Julius Caesar was named Ptolemy XV. History knows him as Caesarion, because Caesar allowed Cleopatra to call him that, but only in Egypt.

Cleopatra ruled in the Ptolemaic time period of Egypt. The Ptolemies were Greeks who took over Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great.

Most of Rome turned against Antony and Cleopatra due to the propaganda war that was being waged between Antony and Octavian. Antony's actions and his conduct caused many to turn against him. His refusal to return to Rome and his treatment of Octavia, his wife, (and Octavian's sister) also added to the resentment of many Romans. They blamed Cleopatra for Antony's debauchery.

When she met Caesar, Cleopatra wanted 1) her throne back and 2) she wanted to make some sort of deal with Caesar in regard to paying off her father's dept which Caesar and Pompey had bought up.

Cleopatra ended her life because she could not stand the possibility of total humiliation by walking in chains in Octavian's triumph in Rome. Remember, she was a very proud woman, who was given the royal treatment everywhere she went from childhood to adulthood. She simply could not tolerate being part of Victorian's celebrations.

Cleopatra was never in any triumvirate. First of all, triumvirate means "three men". A woman, even a queen would not fit in. Second, there were not three triumvirates, there were only two. Marc Antony was only in the second triumvirate.

Marc Antony was the Roman leader allied with Cleopatra against Octavian. It was an alliance that would soon fall apart.

because cleopatra wanted him on the throne after she was defeated

She was the Queen of Egypt. She spoke several languages, studied astronomy, and was very intelligent. She was very pretty too........

The short answer is "lots". However since that may be too vague we can say with certainty that Cleopatra made several mistakes, beginning with trying to override her brother shortly after they took power as co-rulers after the death of their father. This, of course, led to her exile and upon her return, eventually led to a civil war. Had she remained in power, her neglect of her country's infrastructure such as allowing the delta canals to silt up, would have led to the choking of a major part of Egypt's trade. But her worse blunder was failing to reach out to Octavian. Instead of trying neutrality and trying to balance both sides, she aggressively pursued Antony, insulting Octavian as Antony was married to Octavian's sister while Cleo was playing up to Antony with both politics and sex.

Alexandria was the capital of Egypt during Cleopatra's reign. In fact it was the capital for the entire dynasty of the Ptolemies.

Egypt was NOT the most powerful country of its time when Cleopatra ruled. It was a weak, debt laden country when Cleo got the throne. Fortunately, with Caesar's backing, she was able to pay off the debts and set Egypt on a more stable financial footing. In fact, Egypt became one of the wealthiest countries in the entire area. However this was both a blessing and a bane, as Egypt's wealth made it a target for a possible takeover by Rome or Parthia. She had to walk a fine line diplomatically, as she had no army to speak of, and if there were any military trouble Egypt would be overrun by either super power.

Cleo's twins were named Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios. there was one of each --- a male and a female.

No. They hated each other.

Name? Cleopatra's tomb has not been found. There is no way it could have any name.

No, they were two different women. Nefertiti lived around 1300 years before Cleopatra and they were not related to each other.

Your question cannot be answered because we don't know who Cleopatra's mother was. Some say that it was Cleopatra V, because she was the wife of Ptolemy XII, Cleo's father, but it is possible that this is not the case as pharaohs had minor wives and concubines in addition to their "great wife" . Others say Cleopatra's mother was a priest's daughter from Thebes.
