Cleopatra

He wanted Julius Caesar to die.

Her gross misjudgment of the forces at work in the Roman empire by siding with a Mark Antony-in-decline against an overpowering Augustus Caesar.

my end is here(with poisness snakes in hand). These may have been Cleo's last words in faction, but in reality no one knows what they were. No one knew how she died and the only ones with her at her death were her two slaves and they died along with her.

I just got though watching a documentary about cleopatra's death and in the documentary they said there were 2 ways people say she could have died, she poisoned herself by drinking poison or she poisoned herself by letting a poisonous snake bite her.In the documentary they proved that both of those stories are NOT TRUE. She was murdered by octavian, the father of her child's nephew.Also octavian said when he got the suicide letter from her he sent a guard to go stop her from killing herself but when he got there she was dead already. It takes a few hours for poison to work.To find out more watch the documentary called "The Unsolved Death Of Cleopatra" But please don't be taken in by a documentary. Most of them are based upon faulty history and no matter how "authentic" they sound, there are points to question and debate. Documentaries are nothing more than a means for a producer/writer to state a position, making it sound perfectly logical, all for personal gain.

No, Cleopatra herself did not change history. The war between Octavian and Antony would have occurred whether there was a Cleopatra or not. Right now it's popular to extol Cleopatra and make her into something she was not. The current barrage of books about her try to make her into a brilliant politician, a world leader, a mathematician and even a scientist. However if you take an objective look at what we know of her, you'll find that she was a minor queen of a crumbling dynasty with absolutely no power except her personal ability to manipulate people. She herself did not change history; she just happened to be the tool that was used to bring about the last civil war of the Roman republic.

no, lots of people just call them QUEENS OF EGYPT! That's because there is no Egyptian word for "queen". A Pharaoh's wife would simply be called "The Great Wife".

Hapi was the name of the Nile river god. He was associated with fertility of crops and the holding together of upper and lower Egypt.

I'm assuming you mean the Cleopatra movie with Elizabeth Taylor and the answer is no, no, and no. That was all Hollywood hype. Do you think for one minute that the Roman people would line the streets to cheer a foreign queen? In fact, Cleopatra herself never entered Rome. Rome had a sacred wall called the "pomerium" which guarded the core of the city. No crowned head could enter this area. This was a sacred tradition among the Romans and even a dictator such as Caesar could not and would not break it. The ancient writers are very clear about the fact that Cleopatra was housed and stayed in Caesar's villa across the Tiber, not in Rome itself.

Members of the Dionysiac cult, a group of people who worshiped Dionysus, always told of the myths centered around their god by singing and dancing out their stories together as a chorus. That was until Thespis, a Dionysian priest, stepped out of the chorus and took on the role of an actor around 2,500 years ago in the sixth century BC. So Patrick de luigi par le France was the first actor recorded but he is not the first since the Greeks envented theater.

Cleopatra probably learned Egyptian right along with Greek when she was a baby. Now, I'm aware of the fact that the "Cleopatra hype" says that she was the first Ptolemy to speak Egyptian. This is an error. Cleopatra was the first Ptolemy to speak Egyptian publicly. It's hard to believe that a dynasty who ruled a country for 300 years could not speak the native language.

Octavian was important because he was the first man to become what we call "emperor". He established the transition from Repuiblic to Principate in a lasting way. He professionalized the army, and he just about rebuilt the city of Rome. Literature flourished under his rule and he secured the borders so the empire was at peace.

The principle defect or "bad" in Marc Antony was his self-indulgence. Because of this character trait, he was criticized as having lost his Roman values. Although he may have had sound reasons for many of his actions, they were such that they could be twisted into negative deeds. By his abandoning of Rome for Alexandria, he helped to bring bring about the final civil war which brought the republic to an end.

This is called an argument.

The only civil war in which Cleopatra and Caesar were involved was the Alexandrian war and Cleopatra was no help whatsoever as she was powerless. She remained in hiding in the palace.

Charity Kessee is still alive and has been released from prison. She has returned home and has since Married and has a child. She is completely reformed say those that know her and associate with her on a regular basis.

Trebonius.

Marc Antony, like all Romans, followed the "pagan" religion of the time. There is no record of him ever joining any of the popular religious cults that flourished during his lifetime.

Not really. In recent historians written evidence it has been stated that they were actually Miley Cyrus's cousins who had a few babies.

Comprehension is a vital tool in learning, especially in reading. Reading without understanding is not reading, because the main goal of reading is to understand what you read...without understanding, a reader is merely barking at a series of symbols. Readers bring in their world knowledge when they read and one of the probable causes of inability to comprehend is the lack of prior knowledge.

Wow that's big. Julius's death put a bee in Octavian's bonnet to go around killing Caesars assassins. After Octavian finally finished them off his triumvirate fell apart. One of the other members started a war with him and went to Egypt and married Cleopatra. Because the Egyptian forces joined with that of his enemy Octavian destroyed Alexandria and killed Cleopatra ending the reign of the Pharaohs.
