Cleopatra

Blue

Yes, Cleopatra had a daughter. Her name was Cleopatra Selene.

Yes, Cleopatra had a son. In fact she had three sons.They were Caesarion, Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphos.

Historians say that she died in August of 30 BC.

Cleopatra was removed from the throne twice. The first time in 48 by her brother and the last time in 30 by Octavian.

There's no record of Cleopatra ever going on any expeditions. The only traveling she did was for political purposes, such as up the Nile with Caesar, to Rome, to Antioch and to Actium.

Cleopatra followed the Egyptian religion so therefore she gave the ritual honors to all the gods. Her favorite, though, was the goddess Isis, as she identified with her and claimed that she was the "new Isis".

Cleopatra ruled in the kingdom of Egypt.

Cleopatra had a crown which was made out of gold.

Not much else was known about it, but people say her crown had a cobra on it.

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.

here's her legacy: She was 39 when she died; she killed herself because she realized that her end was close by any way so to make it easier so she didn't have to struggle any more. Her dreams of the Egyptian empire died with her. Her name lived on so this name makes people think of romance, bravery, greed and beauty. She tried to make sure Egypt stayed independent; she made rulers of the roman republic frightened of her. No one can deny that Cleopatra was one of the greatest rulers of Egypt!

no she didn't

We don't know for certain, as her tomb has not been found. It can be assumed that because she followed the Egyptian customs, her body was mummified, but this is only an assumption, not a fact.

Cleopatra used some type of poison to kill herself. There is a story about her being bitten by a snake, but that is only a myth actually conjured up by Octavian himself.

Cleopatra was exiled in the power struggle with her brother. She was forced to flee Alexandria or else be killed.

Cleopatra's father was Ptolemy XII and he died in 51 BC.

Cleopatra's servants were slaves and they had to obey or else. From the evidence of the ancient writers, it seems that she had a bit of a temper, because during the visit by Octavian, one of her slaves let it out that Cleopatra did not turn over all the jewels that she had said she did, and she began to beat him. From this you could infer that she demanded strict obedience from her servants.

Cleopatra is not known for wearing a fake beard, but if she for some reason would want one, all she would have to do was order it. The only female Egyptian ruler who was depicted wearing a fake beard was Hatsheput, as in her time the false beard that the pharaohs wore symbolized their divinity and authority. Cleopatra lived in a different time than Hatsheput.

Cleopatra contribution to Egyptian society was she married many men and spoke 9 languages.

No, Cleopatra could not possibly have a greyhound, because the greyhound as we know it, originated with the Celts. The hounds shown on many Egyptian tombs are believed to be Saluki, originating in ancient Persia. There is also another breed of dog popular in ancient Egypt called today a Pharaoh Hound. This and the Saluki may be the same.

Cleopatra was known as the last Egyptian Pharaoh. For beauty and for Intelligence.
