Cleopatra
Cleopatra, was born the 69 b.C. and she died the 30 b.C. she started reigning with seventeen years old with her brother Ptolemy, she married him. (was not strange because they conserve the royal blood)
The Queen wanted to govern alone and to take the power from his brother, this supposed a serious clash with the supporters of his brother- husband. She goes to exile in Syria.
Julius Caesar, intervened in the conflict to arrange the situation between brothers. Cleopatra is attracted by Julius Caesar and she tries to conquer him being wrapped in a carpet and offering as gift. Julius Caesar unrolls the carpet and see the Egyptian queen and falls in love. they will have a son called Caesarion.
When Cleopatra’s brother died and she was an absolute queen of Egypt. When Julius Caesar died, Cleopatra met Mark Antony and started relationship whit him. They lived through his love painfully because Octavius’ troops came to Alexandria and provoked the death of both. The queen committed suicide.
In my opinion Cleopatra is a powerful woman oh his period. In the past a woman could not reign alone. Cleopatra achieved to dominate a country without the presence of a man.
We can say that her power comes her from wit, insight and his beauty. She started a relationship with two very important men. She was converted in empress of Rome. With her insight she attained to be absolute queen of Egypt.
