Cleopatra

She is very seductive and can pursade anyone to do anything. She is also very young, 16, and very beautiful.

Cleopatra started ruling Egypt when she was 18 years old. (She ruled with her oldest brother) After all her brothers died, she ruled with Ceasarion (her son by Ceasar) at about 42 b.c....and of course soon after, she met Marc Antony.

Cleopatra was not a powerful queen. Her country had no military forces to speak of ( Caesar and Marc Antony even had to provide a bodyguard for her) and her dynasty was crumbling. Her only asset was Egypt's wealth, which was a benefit and a bane. It was beneficial because in case of military needs, Cleopatra, like all the later Ptolemies, hired mercenaries to do their fighting. It was a problem, because Cleopatra was fully aware of the fact that Rome could step in an take over Egypt any time they chose and she would be powerless to stop them. Her only power was in her personality. It is said that she used her charms, such as her voice and wit to captivate and befriend others that she needed for her purposes.

Cleopatra was very important she is still important today she is the most beautiful, rich , royal, and generous person in the history of Egypt. At least that's what myth says about her. In reality, Cleopatra was a minor queen of a crumbling dynasty. She ruled a rich country on the fringes of the Roman empire and tried to use her wealth to keep Egypt independent. Her arrogance caused her to overreach and bring disaster to herself and her country.

Cleopatra committed suicide in Egypt.

The first period of Persian rule over Egypt also known as the 27 dynasty ended in 402 BC in Egypt. Which gained independence under a series of native dynasties the last of these Dynasties, the 30th, proved to be the last native royal house of Ancient Egypt and ending with the kingship of Pharaoh Nectanebo II, the third and last Pharaoh of the Thirtieth Dynasty of Egypt as well as the last native ruler of Ancient Egypt.

Cleopatra, although a greedy and ambitious person, did try and succeeded to an extent, to make her country a major power. Despite poor Nile floods and a famine in the early part of her reign, she managed to pay off the massive debt her father incured in order to keep his throne. She expanded Egypt's territory through her alliance with Marc Antony, and had enough children to secure the Ptolomic dynasty. (Or so she thought)

Cleopatra went to school at letiecoot hightown school when she was 5 and stopped when she was 15 years old and she become queen of Egypt

As a member of the royal family, she was most likely tutored within the palace.

Cleopatra's job was that of a queen. As queen she had the responsibility of ruling Egypt and overseeing all aspects of the country. This included the religious rites as well. It is not widely known that there were several Cleopatras in Egyptian history. The one who is famous is the last one, the last monarch of what is classically understood as ancient Egypt.

Cleopatra only had two achievements in her entire life. One was getting and keeping the throne of Egypt. Another was her acquisition of territory from Antony in exchange for her support in his war against Octavian.

Yes, in fact Cleopatra married both of her younger brothers. The first died by drowning in the Nile and the second she poisoned.

She never became ruler of Rome, she was the ruler of Egypt. Her father was Pharoah, and he died and she was the oldest of her siblings so the crown was handed to her.

Cleopatra was 22 years old when she married her brother Ptolemy XIII, her first marriage.

She stopped the Greeks from evading Egypt and that kind of made them give up there plan for world domination

She was a proud Pharaoh. When Augustus came to ask her to hand over the trhone, she was too proud to give in so she committed succide!

Egypt

Cleopatra's father's name was Ptolemy XII.

Cleopatra's official reign was 17 years, although her authority was shared and then lost for roughly four years previous to her establishment on the throne by Julius Caesar in 47 BC.

Cleopatra VII and Marc Antony fell in love in about in about 42 B.C

Cleopatra and Marc Antony probably were at least introduced to each other while Cleopatra was in Rome staying at Caesar's villa. Caesar was dictator at the time, and Antony was Master of the Horse, his second in command, so its very likely that Antony attended one of Cleopatra's receptions at that time. However the big meeting that gets all the historical comment was at Tarsus in 41 BC. That's when Cleopatra made her grand entrance up the river on her royal barge with all the bling. That was the time that Cleopatra decided to get Antony for her new Roman protector.
