 Early life;
In 69 B.C in Alexandria the most recognizable, beautiful Egyptian Queen was born. Cleopatra was born into the wealthy, Greek home of Ptolemy Xll, and Cleopatra V. Her childhood consisted of many luxuries since her dad was king. Cleopatra and her six siblings each had their own tutors and servants to meet their every need. Ptolemy wanted to make sure every child had a great education. Cleopatra studied philosophy, literature, art, music, medicine, and spoke six languages. Although Cleopatra went through many opticals since her relatives, often killed each other for power, her intelligence was to her advantage to rule Egypt in the future.   Making History; When Cleopatra was only 18 she ruled Egypt with her dad. After her dad’s death in 51 B.C, her brother stepped into role and ruled with Cleopatra. He plotted to kill her so he could rule by himself. She found out about it, and asked the most powerful roman ruler, Julius Ceaser for help. Together they defeated her brother and then fell in love. Cleopatra then gave birth to Ptolemy Ceaser in 47 B.C. Ceaser decided to then move back to Rome with Cleopatra and the baby. This joyful family hit bottom when Ceaser was assassinated which caused Cleopatra to return to Egypt to rule with her son. They ran into problems when Octavian approached them. Mark Anthony also a roman ruler was called for help. Once again she fell in love but this time she had twins. Mark left her for Octavian’s sister, Octavia, but was back to return, when they had another son. Octavian and Mark were enemies because Mark left Octavia so in result they went to war. Egypt finally lost to Rome, and Anthony could not despair the grief, so he killed himself. Cleopatra was so devastated, and knew Octavian would be out to get her, so she also committed suicide. Rome and Egypt were left in Octavian’s hands.  The legacy; “Her beauty was said to have brought the worlds most powerful to their knees.” Cleopatra had affairs with two powerful Roman rulers, Anthony and Ceaser. She ruled and protected Egypt for 51 B.C to 30 B.C. After her power people remembered her because of her boldness. Cleopatra proved that she was bold during the wars, when she never backed down. In her childhood she showed aggressiveness because over her six siblings she survived and came on top in the end. While Cleopatra was in power she showed her intelligence and wit when she wrapped herself in a rug and sent it the Ceaser because she couldn’t be noticed entering the Palace. Though her journey she ended up being the last Pharaoh of Egypt.
