Cleopatra is one of the most famous women in the world, and her life is full of legends. With great intelligence and beauty, she was an all-round politician, military leader and cultural figure. She took charge of Egypt's political and economic affairs at the age of 18 with the help of Julius Caesar, and at the age of 38 ended her legendary life in a self-defeating manner.
Cleopatra was an ambitious woman from an early age, and before her father's death, she appointed her to take over the affairs of the dynasty with her half-brother. In order to prevent the two from disagreeing, the siblings simply became husband and wife. At first, the husband and wife got along relatively happily, but in the face of the royal power, both wanted to be unique rulers. So each secretly cultivated power, and her husband, as a male, naturally had more supporters.
In a contest between the two sides, Cleopatra was deported to the border. She was alone at the border, and in order to survive, she had to sell her body to make ends meet. It was here that she met the man who changed her fate - Julius Caesar. Cleopatra climbed into Julius Caesar's bed on a dark and windy night, and after some clouds and rain, Julius Caesar was completely infatuated with Cleopatra.
In 69 BC, with the help of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra succeeded to the throne. Under her rule, Egypt became powerful and became one of the richest and most cultured kingdoms in the world. She facilitated trade relations with Rome, built a large number of majestic buildings, and carried out important promotion and preservation of Greek culture.
Although Cleopatra was an outstanding leader, her private life was wonderful and colorful. She fell in love with Julius Caesar for four years and bore him a boy, whom Julius designated as his future heir. If time stays here, Cleopatra's life will be very happy. However, God did not go his way, Julius Caesar was assassinated, and his son was killed a few years later.
Cleopatra, who lost her backer, had no choice but to commit herself to killing Mark Antony of Julius Caesar, but not long after, Antony was destroyed by Octavian. Cleopatra wanted to repeat her old tricks to please Octavian, but Octavian was a straight man of steel, and he could sit still with such a beautiful beauty.
After the Roman army conquered Egypt, she could not bear to be a prisoner of the Roman emperor Augustus, and chose to end her life by suicide, so the 38-year-old Cleopatra completed her legendary life. The saga of Cleopatra VII, full of political deceits, love and tragedy, has influenced the entire history of Egypt and the Mediterranean. Even today, she remains an inspiring female symbol and source of inspiration.
