Cleopatra VII

Cleopatra VII Philopator was born in January 69 BC; she was

born in the famous place called Alexandria. She was named
after her mother Cleopatra V. Cleopatra’s mother died early
while her father, Ptolemy, lived with her until she was able to
rule Egypt which was from 51 BC to 30 BC. consummated a
liaison with Gaius Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the
throne. After a while later Caesar got assassinated. In 42 BC,
Mark Antony, one of the people who ruled Rome in the power
vacuum following Caesar's death, summoned Cleopatra to meet
him in Tarsus to answer questions about her loyalty. Cleopatra
arrived in great state, and she charmed Antony that he chose to
spend the winter of 41 BC–40 BC with her in Alexandria. On 25
December 40 BC she gave birth to two children Alexander
Helios and Cleopatra Selene II.

Four years later in 37 BC, Antony visited Alexandria again to

make war with the Parthians. He renewed his relationship with
Cleopatra, and from this point on Alexandria would be his
home. He married Cleopatra according to the Egyptian rite,
although he was at the time married to Octavia Minor, sister of
his friend Octavian. He and Cleopatra had another child, called
Ptolemy Philadelphus.

After Antony and Cleopatra were defeated at Actium by their

rival and Caesar's legal heir, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian (who
later became the first Roman Emperor, Augustus), Cleopatra
either committed suicide by making a asp (a poisonous
snake)bite her or she applied toxic ointment.

She was the last Queen/pharaoh of Egypt.
