Cleopatra

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".

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.

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.

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.

In the British army, the rank of Major has a single Crown rank badge.

As a queen, Cleopatra would have had hundreds of slaves. Unfortunately only the names of three slaves have come down to us. They were Apollodorus, the one who smuggled her into Caesar, and two of her personal slaves who died with her. The personal slaves were named Charmin and Iras.

Cleopatra only constructed two buildings. One was her tomb which was unfinished at her death and the other was a temple to Julius Caesar.

The major events in Cleopatra's reign are all connected with Rome. She was established on the throne by Caesar in 47 BC. She received an extension of her territories in 37 BC from Marc Antony, and more rulership of territories at the "donations of Alexandria" in 34 BC. Then came the battle of Actium in 31 BC where she lost it all.

See my dscussion. Cleopatra was restored to the throne by Julius Caesar.(not est on it)

She recieved countries from Mark Antony in return for huge financial investment in his army.

She was the most powerful leader of the time...this is forgotten because Rome wrote the history when powerful women were not a popular image and people love a tragic romance. .

You're confusing women here. Isis was an Egyptian goddess and Cleopatra was a mortal woman. They could not have formed a friendship in the way we think of it. Cleopatra worshiped Isis ad even called herself the "New Isis" as part of her propaganda to impress the Egyptian people. What Isis thought about this, we'll never know.
