Cleopatra

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

Only two of Cleopatra's maids' names have come down to us and they are the ones who died with her, Iras and Charmion. Neva sounds like a name from a fiction book.

Cleopatra ruled firmly from 47 BC to 30 BC. (Yes, she ruled before 47, but she was never completely in control at that time and was overthrown and exiled.) Antony actually never ruled Egypt -- he didn't have to. Marc Antony was the Roman triumvirate, the supreme Roman authority in the east. He controlled not only Egypt, and Greece, but the entire eastern half of the empire. His rule of the east began in 42 BC and ended in 30 BC.

Antony married Octavia mainly to seal a political alliance between himself and Octavian. It was a political marriage, the same as his later sham marriage to Cleopatra.

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

She had her bad points, and her good ones.
