Cleopatra

Cleopatra VII was the true last Pharoah of Egypt. She was also the last of the Greek Ptolemies to rule Egypt. She married and had children with two very important Roman people- Julius Caeser and Marc Antony!

very nice, but Cleopatra didnt do JUST that, Cleopatra vii (7) helped stabalize Egypt in a time of war. she maintained friends with rome during all of her life and up until the emporor Augustus Caesar took over the throne and declared war on Rome. she was one of the best Egyptian pharoah that ever lived! if you want to learn more about her, i recommend the book Cleopatra vii: daughter of the nile by Kristen greogory.

Cleopatra's immediate family were her four children, her two brothers and her one remaining sister.

her first husband was mark Antony not Jennifer husband the past mark Antony...........

* she committed suicide * led her country to war

Your question can't be answered because we don't know who Cleopatra's mother was. We know her father was married to Cleopatra V, but that does not necessarily mean that she was Cleopatra VII mother. We simply have to wait until archaeologists find relevant material and the scientists test it all to determine Cleopatra's parentage.

Cleopatra wore a greek tunic which they called back then a chiton. She also wore jewerly and wigs.

As it turned out, Cleopatra was not a very good ruler, she lost the country. During the time that she had power she was no better or worse than any other Egyptian monarch. She had her share of dissidents and plotters, just as her predecessors had. She also had her supporters, although they were mostly Roman. The one major achievement she was able to negotiate was the granting of large territories of the mid-east to Egypt, in return for her support of Antony's Parthian campaign. However this expansion only lasted as long as she did. Rome, in the person of Octavian, quickly put things back the way they were upon his defeat of Cleopatra and Antony.

Caesar established Cleopatra firmly upon the Egyptian throne and when he left for Rome, he left Roman legions to support Cleopatra. He also cut the massive debt that Cleopatra owed him by half.

No, never. For one, Cleopatra hated her brothers and they hated her. Their marriage, was strictly for political reasons, as Cleo and her elder brother were made heirs by their father and were co-rulers. For two, she was 22 years old at the time of her first marriage and her brother was twelve. Her second brother, which she married, was only ten years old. Babies were out of the question.

Cleopatra lived in her palace complex in Alexandria.

Antony and Cleopatra lived in Alexandria, Egypt's capitol.

Yes she poisoned him by putting poison in his wine

Their so-called marriage took place in 37 BC.

Cleopatra had four kids. One she sent off to another country with great riches in hopes that he/she would stay alive and continue the family line. However, he was murdered before he reached safety.

Yes

Yes, Cleopatra had three sisters and two brothers.

Cleopatra never lived in a castle. She lived in a royal palace in Alexandria. Castles did not come into existence until Medieval times.

Cleopatra did many great things. She brought Egypt to the height of its power. Making it the most dominant place in the Earth at that time. She also made an alliance with Rome, but Octavian, (more famously known as Augustus Ceasar in the Bible) broke that alliance.

Cleopatra had only two legitimate marriages. They were both to her brothers. She never married Caesar and the marriage to Antony was symbolic of their political aims.

Why does anyone kill themselves? Ancient Egypt was dying, a once-glorious empire losing a war with Octavian (later the emperor Augustus). Her husband (slash lover, because the marriage is doubted and was recognized only in Egypt) Mark Anthony committed suicide and died in her arms just days earlier, and she was being kept captive in Alexandria by Octavian. She was most likely going to be paraded in the streets of Rome, bound by golden shackles and utterly humiliated. But Cleopatra did not plan to lose her dignity. She was a proud woman, but not in a vain way: a regal way. She was born royalty, and would die as one. And she did.

It was very hard b/c she was royalty!♥!♥!♥!

Cleopatra was apart of the Ptolemic Dynasty.

Yes, she was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
