Cleopatra

Cleopatra lost the throne in 30 BC when Octavian entered Alexandria.

His name was Octavian....not Octavius.

After Julius Caesar was assassinated, Mark Anthony made a speech that riled the public up, created a near riot, and forced the conspirators from the city of Rome. They put together an army and were hunted down by Mark Anthony.

This is one of those too many questions here which seem to be asked by people who already know the answer, so I'm not sure what your point for the question is.

After the conspirators and their armies were disposed, Lepidus, Mark Anthony and Octavian formed what was known as the 2nd Roman triumvirate, and ruled together for a time.

Lepidus was essentially bought out, and friction began between Anthony and Octavian. Things came to a head when Anthony shacked up and settled in with Egyptian ruler Cleopatra (especially since Anthony was already married to Octavian's sister. But the bigger concern was that he'd consider Cleopatra his wife, and try and take over the Roman Empire. Wasn't far from the truth, Cleopatra was looking to marry Anthony to become the queen not just of Egypt, but of Rome.

The story of how all that worked out has been told over and over, and doesn't need to be repeated here.

When Octavian was crowned the first Roman emperor (Julius Caesar was elected dictator for life, was Rom's last "elected" head of state, and was never an emperor), he took the name of Augustus.

After Cleopatra died, Egypt was ruled by Rome. Recently, an inscription has been discovered proclaiming Octavian pharaoh, but Octavian never took that title. It is assumed that the Egyptian priests considered Octavian their new pharaoh in their quest for continuity.

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.

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.

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's palace, as the other palaces in the royal compound at Alexandria, were swept under water by an earthquake.

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.

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.

in candy land idiot come on you cant be THIS stupid to ask that geta book at the library sheesh
