Cleopatra: Egypt’s Last QueenAdded:
History remembers Cleopatra as a beautiful queen, but Rome remembered her as dangerous. Cleopatra ruled Egypt at a time when Rome was taking over the Mediterranean.
Brilliant, multilingual, and politically skilled, she formed powerful alliances with Julius Caesar and later Mark Anthony. To her loyal supporters, she was protecting Egypt. To her fearful enemies, she was a threat to Rome itself.
After losing a war against Octavian, the future Augustus, Cleopatra died in 30 B.CE. And with her death, ancient Egypt would never rule itself
