Cleopatra

egyptians rule clearly states no speaking of the dead most likely cleopatras rule.

Cleopatra's first husband died by drowning in the Nile as he was trying to escape the Roman troops during the Alexandrian war. Her second husband is thought to have been poisoned by Cleopatra as soon as they returned to Egypt after Caesar's murder.

she never got married to him

she just made kids with him

As a queen there were several important events in Cleo's life. Some of them are the ascending to the throne (both times), personal diplomacy with Caesar and Antony, the Donations of Alexandria, Actium and her death.

Remember, Cleopatra married both of her younger brothers. We don't know their ages for certain, but it is said that Ptolemy XIII her first husband was about twelve and Ptolemy XIV her second husband was ten.

Cleopatra was responsible for her sister Arsinoe's death in 41 B. C. We can't say that she actually killed her sister because of a technicality. Arsinoe was under the protection of Rome even though she was confined to a temple. Cleopatra wouldn't dare act against her sister on her own as Rome would come down hard on old Cleo. She had to eliminate her sister with the blessing of Rome. Marc Antony was the Roman authority in Cleopatra's part of the world, so she had him kill Arsinoe. So in that way she was responsible for the death of her sister without acting on her own.

When Cleopatra died, Egypt became a Roman province.

There is no record of Cleopatra ever wearing men's clothes.

The age of the pyramids had been over for thousands of years by the time of Cleopatra. People were buried in tombs in Cleopatra's era.

It was originally made during the reign of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Thutmose III, which means they were made between 1479 BCE and 1425 BCE.

Marc Antony was attracted to Cleopatra by one thing--money! He needed her financial backing for his ventures against Parthia, as Octavian refused to give him the promised help. Of course the luxurious lifestyle that Cleopatra also offered was an added attraction, but his main reason for taking up with Cleopatra was cold, hard cash.

No one brought Cleopatra to Rome. She came on her own for political purposes. It is thought that Cleo made two trips to Rome, the first one trying to get the senate to recognize her as queen and ally of Rome, and the second time to keep close to the negotiations that were being held in the senate regarding a reorganization of some provinces, in particular, the future of Cyprus.

Yes and no. The main obstacle that Cleopatra overcame was getting back on the throne. She did this by the good graces of Julius Caesar. The other obstacles to her power, her brother and sister, she overcame--permanently. It was rumored that she had her second brother/husband poisoned and it is well known that she convinced Marc Antony to kill her sister, Arsinoe. The murdering of her family seemed to be the only obstacles that Cleo overcame, as the other aspects of her reign seemed to be all a failure, both for herself an for Egypt.

The relationship between Cleopatra and Marc Antony, weather it was an actual love affair or a political alliance was a total disaster for Egypt. Their depravity was the cause of Roman hatred which led to a civil war, the loss of independence for Egypt and the deaths of both Antony and Cleopatra.

The only type of Egyptian clothing that Cleopatra is ever reported as wearing was her Isis outfit. She identified with the goddess Isis and would appear in public dressed as the goddess and she referred to herself as the New Isis. Most of the time, however she dressed as any other Greek woman with the long chiton. (Remember, she was Greek)

Cleopatra was not elected. She became queen because she was closely related to the current regent. She became queen in the year 51 BCE.

The so-called marriage between Antony and Cleopatra was from 37 to 30 BC. about six years as it was late in 37 or even, as some writers claim, in 36 BC.

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.
