Cleopatra

Her presences in Alexandria and her liaison with Caesar caused the Alexandrian War. Her alliance with Marc Antony caused the final civil war of the republic.

Caesar was more amused by Cleopatra than admiring. What Caesar did admire was the city of Alexandria. There was even a rumor that he was either going to turn Rome into another Alexandria or move the capitol there.

Unfortunately, today Cleopatra is remembered as a seductive temptress. Her struggles, determination and political acumen are at best glossed over in the popular mind. Although historians have tried to present a balanced view of her, the damage done to her reputation by various ancient writers, playwrights, novelists and Hollywood is the image that people remember.

She tested poison on her prisoners

We only know of three slaves that are named. The first is Apollodorus, the one who delivered her to Caesar, and the other two are Iras and Charmion, the two slaves who committed suicide with her.

Technically Cleopatra began her reign in 51 BC upon the death of her father. However it was intended to be a co-rule between her and her brother Ptolemy XIII. They struggled for power with each one trying to push the other out. Cleopatra was exiled, and it was not until 47 BC, when Caesar arrived that Cleopatra was firmly established on the throne. Due to the power struggle events, Cleopatra did not have a solid grip on the throne until 47 BC.

Cleopatra liked to think of herself as the goddess Isis.

Cleopatra ruled all the cities of Egypt, but her capitol was at Alexandria.

Cleopatra was 39 years old when she died.

Cleopatra was thirty-eight years old when she died. She lived around two thousand years ago, and died thirty-eight years after she was born. Her death was a huge tragedy. Many say the reason for her death was suicide from a snake bite.

If you mean Cleopatra Selene, Cleopatra's daughter, she was not murdered. She lived a long and happy life as queen of Mauritania.

Yes, Cleopatra married her two brothers as it was the Egyptian custom.

Cleopatra's reign came to an end in 30 BC when Octavian entered Alexandria.

Cleopatra

For a brief time, Cleopatra was able to enlarge her territories to almost the size of the empire that her ancestors ruled. That was her only political accomplishment.

No, Cleopatra was an ancient queen. She ruled Egypt and was the last of the ancient queens.

Cleopatra II was the wife of Ptolemy VII and the wife of Ptolemy VIII. For a brief time she even ruled Egypt alone.

Well first of all she was one of the most beautiful woman in Africa and every man wanted her,she was also very ,very ,very rich,wealthy,and royal .The reason why I said she was ''one of the most beatiful woman in Africa'' was because Cleopatra had a sister named Trypheanna.Trypheanna was jealous of Cleopatra's looks and beaty but still Cleopatra was the youngest and the prettiest

Cleopatra was born in January of 69 BC.

No, the New Kingdom period in Egyptian history was a couple of thousand years before Cleopatra. Cleopatra ruled in the Hellenistic period of Egypt.

Cleopatra was of Greek heritage, but her culture was Egyptian.

Cleopatra spoke Greek because Greek was her native language. Even though the Ptolemies ruled Egypt, they were Greek and kept the Greek language and blended Greek culture with the Egyptian culture (or they tried to).

When the Romans took over after Cleopatra's death, Egypt became a province in the Roman empire, ruled by Roman law. This made very little difference to the average Egyptian, as his religion was tolerated, and his lifestyle would remain unchanged.

Cleopatra only impacts us today in a commercial sense. Books are written about her or her family, there's a Cleopatra cigarette, Cleopatra perfumes, I think a Cleopatra clothing or costume line. Anything feminine or sexy can have a Cleopatra name tag. All this has nothing to do with the real Cleopatra. The real Cleopatra was a capable woman who died over 2000 years ago. She has no impact on us today except in the historical sense.
