Cleopatra

Cleopatra never built any monuments. About the closest thing to a "monument" would be the temple she had build to Julius Caesar and a maternity house at the temple at Dendera.

Cleopatra actually had two groups of subjects, the Alexandrians and the native Egyptians. The Alexandrians did not care for her, as they were more than willing to back her brother and fight Caesar in order to be rid of her. This attitude lasted until the end. The native Egyptians, though, tolerated her. She had most of her support in the southern part of Egypt around Thebes. However the native Egyptians actually saw no difference between rulers, as the Ptolemies kept the same method of rule that the native Egyptian Pharaohs had used for centuries. There basic life did not change so they were at best lukewarm towards her as they would be towards any other ruler.

In a way. Octavian's sister, Octavia, raised Cleopatra's children, but Octavian was the head of the family, and according to Seutonius saw that "they were educated according to their station."

Yes, we definitely know that Cleopatra committed suicide, but we don't know how. There is a myth that she was bitten by a snake, but that's highly unlikely. Historians think it was by some type of poison.

Yes, Cleopatra was imprisoned after Octavian entered Alexandria, if you could call it that. After they tricked her and got her out of her tomb where she was hiding, they imprisoned her in her palace with all the luxuries and accommodations that she was accustomed to. The only difference in her lifestyle was that she was under guard and could not leave her quarters.

If Cleopatra were alive today she would be 2080 years old. (probably a little wrinkled).

Cleopatra killed her brother in 44 BC when they returned to Egypt from Rome after Caesar's murder.

Cleopatra's first mentor would have been her father and then Julius Caesar and Marc Antony.

Cleopatra was 33 when she "married" Marc Antony.

Cleopatra was excellent in manipulating people for her own advantage. Her skills ranged in the one-on-one or personal, rather than in the broader area of world politics.

no ( i think )

Cleopatra's entire name was Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator. The Thea Philopator means Father-Living Goddess.

Yes! He had a son, Gaius Julius Fabia Sampsigeramus, known as Silas, who became, on his father's death, Sampsigeramus III, King of Emesa.

He also had 2 daughters, Iotapa of Judea and Mammaea of Emesa.

It is a little complicated, because he also had 2 aunts, who were named Iotape/Iotapa, and Iulia of Emesa.

Cleopatra's youngest son was Ptolemy Philadelphos.

No, Cleopatra did not live in Rome. She lived in Alexandria, the capital of Egypt. However she did visit Rome,some historians think twice and she was at Rome when Caesar was killed.

Cleopatra killed herself, so she would have had to commit suicide. Homicide is when a person kills another person. Suicide is when a person kills himself.

Before she married, Cleopatra's first lover that we know of, is Julius Caesar. We don't know about anyone before him.

no

There were seven Egyptian queens (and probably more in Macedonia) named Cleopatra because Cleopatra was one of the very common names for Macedonian women.

her teenage years were kinda tough. First she was driven out of Egypt by her own brother because he thought she was to much of a loon to rule, and in order to rule she had to have him killed.

Cleopatra married her younger brother Ptolemy XIII first.

Cleopatra first ruled Egypt with her two brothers. After their deaths, she made her baby son, Caesarion, her co-ruler.

No. They hated each other.

Cleopatra could be kind when it suited her or when kindness would advance her in some way. In other words, there was always a self-serving interest in any acts of "kindness" performed by Cleopatra. However, please remember that Cleopatra was an absolute monarch, living in an era when there was no concept of charity or public welfare or "giving back" as we have today. She lived according to different standards than ours.
