Cleopatra

No, Cleopatra's body has never been discovered. However, the mummified body of Cleopatra II resides in the British Museum.

Yes, they loved each other deeply (or at least I would think they did), but the Roman government didn't recognize a wedding unless it was between two Roman citizens. So they were never married. Besides, Caesar already had a loyal wife back in Rome.

Yes, like all Pharaohs. She had cats as they we thought to be messengers of the cat goddess Bastet.

Marc Anthony was buried in the ground in Egypt. Zahi Hawass, the most well known Egyptian archaeologist (who always appears in his hat on TV programmes about the pyramids), is leading a team which claims to have discovered Mark Anthony and Cleopatra's tomb. The location is some 30 miles from Alexandria and as of April 2009, they have begun excavation.

Michael Schumacher has won the most F1 drivers championships for a driver. He won it twice with Bennetton in 1994 & 95. And then five times with Ferrari 2000-2004. Schumacher holds many records in Formula One, including most race victories, fastest laps, pole positions, points scored and most races won in a single season.

They saw no reason for expansion beyond trade, were self sufficient in terms of food and they maintained a large and formidable military force to thwart invasion.

Since he was born on April 13, 1743, making him 264 years old, I would assume he would be too old to run.

But seriously, folks . . . I think he would be far too disgusted with the way this country is being run and its citizens treated that he would not want anything to do with politics. I hope I am wrong.

many of the paintings and art work that make up the Egyptian culture have several features. They all usually tend to be elaborate, have many hierroglyphics on them have some of the gods that the epyptians worshiped on them and they had gold and were engraved. many were very complex and had special symbols or markings on them in sculptures to tell what rank class and importance the person was ie the hands crossed holding the anckh and another symbol to show that the sculpture was of a deceased Pharaoh.

We remember Cleopatra mainly from the 'love' story of Mark Anthony. In which, Cleo fakes suicide, Mark hears and actually kills himself, Cleo hears and so she commits suicide. However I remember Cleopatra as the last Egyptian pharaoh (even though she was Greek or something) who married her brother before he died from trying to escape from Egypt and ended up drowning in the Nile. Also she could speak heaps of languages so was considered smart.

It was not uncommon for defeated generals to commit suicide. This would avoid the consequences of defeat, which could be harsh punishment or execution by the victors. It was also considered a gesture of honour. Cleopatra also committed suicide.

Octavian took the children of Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII, Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II and Ptolemy Philadelphus to Rome. He paraded them during his triumphal celebrations in golden chains which were so heavy that they could not walk. This outraged the Roman crowd. As a result, Octavian got Octavia minor to adopt them. Octavia was Octavian's second elder sister and she had been father Mark Antony's wife.

Octavian had Caesarion, the son of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, killed. Caesarion was possibly the only son of Caesar. Since Octavian based the legitimacy for his bid to power of being the adoptive son of Caesar and his heir, Caesarion was a potential rival to get rid of.

Jonquil Antony died on December 6, 1980.

It's up to you to decide. Historically, the names of lowly servants such as guards are not recorded unless they do something extraordinary.

Yes they were in a very sexual relationship, but this did not mean too much in the ancient world. Cleopatra needed a father for her child and Caesar was handy. Caesar wanted the money that Egypt owed him and Cleopatra was the one who would pay him once she had the throne. You could say that they had a mutually beneficial relationship.

They lost and retreated back to Egypt. And no, Cleopatra did not run away and Antony did not run after her. It is now thought that the flight of Antony and Cleopatra was a carefully planned retreat due to several factors.

Roman policy was always to absorb conquered territory into its empire, which expanded as a result. There were benefits for both Egypt and Rome in this take-over: Rome would expect regular tribute in the form of grain (which Egypt could supply in huge quantities) while Egypt would be secure against enemies and protected by Roman garrisons.

By 68 AD there were two entire legions based at Alexandria: the III Cyrenaica and XXII Deiotariana. They would have been accompanied by an equal number of auxiliary troops, both infantry and cavalry. A third legion was absent, helping to put down the Jewish revolt.

It was also Roman policy to allow life in conquered countries to continue as it had before (providing there was no trouble). This permitted priests to continue using hieroglyphs and the Egyptian religion to continue, but Latin would have gradually become an important language in the region.

Cleopatra was persuasive, or manipulative, according to Plutarch, by having the ability to match her mood to the mood of whomever she was trying to influence. People were more willing to give her what she wanted if they sensed that she was a kindred soul ad had the same mindset.

Julius Caesar only killed Gaius Pompey, one of Pompey's sons. This was after the Battle of Munda in 45 BC which finally brought the civil war to an end. Pompey himself was murdered in Egypt. His remaining son, Sextus Pompey, was murdered in the mideast, by Marc Antony's commander, some say on orders from Antony, although Antony denied responsibility.

Probably not. Tigers were wild animals in the ancient world just as they are in today's world. They are not pet material. However, because Egypt traded with India, there a possibility that tigers were imported and kept at the Museo, or research center of the Library of Alexandria. Cleopatra could possibly have seen them there.

Cleopatra's needles were two obelisks, but they did not have much to do with Cleopatra herself. According to the Egyptian Antiquities Authority, they were created in the quarries at Aswan then displayed in front of the temple at Heliopolis. When the Ptolemies took over Egypt, the obelisks were moved to Alexandria. When Cleopatra built the temple to Julius Caesar, she had them moved and set up in front of his temple. As to who designed them, we simply don't know.

Absolutely yes. Genealogy information of their family lines had been drawn together by professional Egyptologists and historians, leading to the conclusion of many, thousands even, descending from Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII.

For more information, you may want to look into on-line ancestry and genealogy websites. Most of them now have Cleopatra's pedigree on-line available to view.

The ancients did not use wedding rings. The Romans sometimes would give their intended brides an iron ring, but this was not mandatory. On occasion, a wealthy couple would give each other rings, but as gifts, not as wedding rings.

Marc Antony was first and foremost a fearless cavalry officer. He served with both Gambinus in the mid-east and with Caesar in Gaul. After Caesar's murder he did the best anyone could do in the circumstances by negotiating a compromise between the conspirators and the Caesarians. In the Triumvirate, when he went to the East, he strengthened Rome's border security by appointing allies of Rome as kings.
