Cleopatra VII Philopator, commonly known as Cleopatra, was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. She was born in 69 BC and ruled Egypt from 51 BC until her death in 30 BC. Cleopatra was known for her intelligence, beauty, and political acumen. She was highly educated and spoke multiple languages, including Egyptian, Greek, and Latin.
Cleopatra is perhaps best known for her relationships with Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. She had children with both men, and her alliances with them were part of her efforts to protect Egypt from being annexed by the Roman Empire. After the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra's forces at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, both committed suicide. Cleopatra's legacy as a powerful and influential ruler has continued to capture the imagination of people throughout history.
