User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cleopatra was the last pharoah of Egypt. when she died, the Romans took over.
There was no pharaoh after Cleopatra. Cleopatra lost her kingdom and her country's independence. She was the last of her dynasty. However, there's been a rather recent discovery of an inscription claiming Augustus as pharaoh. Augustus himself never took the title, and scholars think that the inscription was the work of Egyptian priests in order to keep their continuity and also to honor Augustus.
