Cleopatra

Cleopatra joined in an alliance with Rome in order to try to preserve Egypt's independence. She ruled a wealthy country which was surrounded by Roman territories and allies. She knew that at any time Rome could walk in and take over Egypt and there would be nothing she could do about it. To add to her apprehension, one of her ancestors actually willed Egypt to Rome, but Rome declined to accept. An alliance was the one way to preserve her country's independence and her dynasty.

Cleopatra would be succeeded by ptolemy xv [caesarion] from august 12 30bc to august 23 30bc

Cleopatra did not name her son Caesarion. His name was Ptolemy Caesar. Caesarion was a nickname only used in Egypt. It had political undercurrents for Cleopatra as did all her planned actions.

her son

The perception of Cleopatra by the people of Egypt would depend on who you asked. There were actually "two Egypts" --- the Egyptians in Alexandria, who were mostly of Greek descent, and the native Egyptians who lived elsewhere. The Alexandrians were the politically vocal segment of the population and they resented Caesar butting into their affairs by putting Cleopatra on the throne. They even started a war to try to get rid of her. However she did have the support of many of the wealthier Alexandrians. By the time of Cleopatra the native Egyptians and Greeks were beginning to be integrated, especially in the outer nomes or provinces. These provincial Egyptians were mostly neutral towards her, afterall, they had various kings, queens and pharaohs over the centuries and their lives never changed. They dutifully lined the banks of the Nile and cheered whenever she sailed past them and they dutifully paid their taxes and collected their grain allowances.

Of course she she was. She died so she could be with her lover. Is that loyal or what. And don't answer or what. But we will never really know the true truth.

Caesarion was a nickname for Ptolemy Caesar or Ptolemy XV. Cleopatra called him Caesarion because it reinforced the belief that he was Caesar's son.

I don't think that was Cleopatra.

Mark Anthony

There wasn't any. It seems as if you have your history skewed. The big so-called love story was supposed to be between Mark Antony and Cleo, but Antony was by no means young when he met and was seduced by Cleopatra, he was in his forties. Yes, they did have children, but his death was by no means the cause of her suicide. The cause of Cleopatra's suicide was her pride. She offed herself to avoid being humiliated in Octavian's triumph in Rome.

Cleopatra VII was born in Alexandria Egypt in 69 BC. She died in Alexandria, August 1st 30 BC. For more info on her I recommend the book Cleopatra; Goddess of Egyt, Enemy of Rome.

Cleopatra and Caesar's alleged son was killed after the Roman takeover of Egypt. Exactly how is unclear, but writers and pop historians are quick to blame Octavian. There is an issue with the blame game here. At any rate, Caesarion was killed.

Cleopatra was a Greek who ruled over Egypt. She was the last pharoh of Egypt.

she tested poisons on prisoners, she also liked studying her Egypt history.

She was a woman. Have you ever read GIRLS WHO RULED ANCIENT EGYPT? Cleopatra is in there.

If you take a close look at Cleo's life, there was actually no historical significance to her life to any great extent. True, she was the last Ptolemy, and resorted to every trick in the book to try to hang on to her kingdom, but in the end she failed. Rome would have quite possibly taken over Egypt in any case, no matter who was ruling. Her fame or infamy, does not come from any significant thing that she did, but from a negative interpretation of her character.

No, forget about the love aspect of the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra. Both of them were sel-centered persons and both of them had their own agendas. They used each other. Cleo used Antony to keep her country's independence (at least for a while) and to add more territory to Egypt. Antony used Cleopatra for the money to finance his military ventures. They liked each other and they were in agreement as to their politics. That is why they formed their political alliance.

No, but she had power and she definitely used it!

She had her bad points, and her good ones.

Marc Antony gave Cleopatra Roman territory mainly along the strip of the eastern Mediterranean. Her new territories were in Phoenicia, part of Syria , Cypress, most of Cilicia, parts of Judaea and Arabia.
