Cleopatra's appearance has also been restored, and it can be seen from the restoration that this Cleopatra is not a folklore, but a very beautiful-looking woman.
In ancient Egypt in 69 BC, which was full of mystery, Cleopatra was born in that period.

Cleopatra is also an ambitious woman, the so-called mountain is difficult to tolerate two tigers, both want to take Egypt into their own hands, often quarrelsome.
Egypt's ministers were not very supportive of Cleopatra and later kicked her out of the house, but Cleopatra did not give up the struggle for power and kept looking for opportunities to reverse the game. Then came the key figure in Egypt's politics, Julius Caesar the Great, an ambitious and knowledgeable ruler of the Roman Empire. Cleopatra's younger brother had great respect and admiration for Julius Caesar, and his purpose was to unite with Julius Caesar to eliminate Cleopatra.
Cleopatra did not show weakness, and only with the help of the powerful could she regain the rule of Egypt, so she also started the idea of using Caesar.

In order to make Caesar use it, Cleopatra used her strengths to wrap herself in a blanket and ask her subordinates to give her to Caesar as a gift. When Caesar saw Cleopatra coming out of the blanket, he was astonished that there was such a beautiful woman in the world, and he was deeply puzzled by her beauty. Later, she also bore Caesar a son, and Caesar was very fond of Cleopatra, so he also helped Cleopatra regain the right to rule Egypt from her brother.
Cleopatra has since sat firmly in Egypt, which shows that Caesar was very fond of Cleopatra, and the conquest of Egypt was not incorporated into the territory of Rome, but handed it over to Cleopatra. Cleopatra's approach is, to some extent, a way to preserve Egypt. In addition, Caesar was very infatuated with her. To this end, she also placed her golden statue in Rome, thinking that Cleopatra would get Caesar's patronage and enjoy glory from then on, but then Caesar was assassinated.
Without Caesar's protection, Cleopatra could be killed at any time, forcing her to leave Rome and return to Egypt. After Caesar's murder, Rome was divided into east and west, under the control of Caesar's adopted son Octavian and general Antony. Then, before a conquest, Antony wanted to get Help from Egypt, so he invited Cleopatra to come to consult, which in turn made Cleopatra begin to plot for her own regime.
Surprisingly, after Anthony met Cleopatra, he was also deeply fascinated by her, and Cleopatra has found a new patron since then. Antony also fulfilled All of Cleopatra's requirements, and Cleopatra was able to sit firmly in Egypt again, thus once again preserving Egypt from being annexed by Rome. But this did not always make Cleopatra sit back and relax, and there are more cruel things waiting for her.

Antony had married Octavian's sister, but since cleopatra's appearance, Anthony had been very cold to this wife. Later, due to the breakdown of the relationship between the two, Roma Suggest anthony suggested that Anthony give Octavian's sister a leave, and Antony agreed to her suggestion, facing her sister being suspended, which made Octavian feel unprecedented shame. Soon, the two completely tore their faces and began a war to annex each other, in which Antony was defeated and committed suicide.
After Antony's death, Cleopatra once again lost her patron, so she tried to seduce Octavian in the same way, but Octavian was not impressed by her beauty. Later, Octavian published Antony's will to the people, let people see that Antony was the only favorite Cleopatra, and gave her many lands.
This annoyed the roman people and ruined Cleopatra's reputation, and it was believed that she used beauty to seduce the Roman king and usurp Rome's land, power and wealth. Since then, Cleopatra has been discredited, and many people have scolded her as a witch on the Banks of the Nile, which makes Cleopatra unable to bear such insults, and the feeling of walking from heaven to hell has made Romabe give birth to the idea of giving up her life.
Cleopatra ordered someone to secretly send a poisonous snake, thus ending her life. After her death, Octavian killed all her children, and Egypt, which Cleopatra had tried to preserve all her life, was eventually annexed by Rome. In any case, Cleopatra's ending is tragic, in other words, she can play with two important figures who were once In Rome, which shows that she not only has a unique appearance, but also a talented and strange woman.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > conclusion</h1>
In the mysterious land of ancient Egypt, there was once a strange woman known as Cleopatra, who used her beauty and wisdom to save Egypt, but in the end, she did not escape the fate of being annexed by Rome. After her death, Cleopatra ended up in a disgraceful situation, even her own children were all killed, and posterity also scandalized her, and even called her a demon on the Banks of the Nile.
As a woman, Cleopatra was able to seize power in Egypt and let two important figures in Rome fall for her, which shows that Romana not only wins by beauty, but more importantly, her ingenuity. If there was only beauty and no wisdom, Cleopatra would not have been able to seize the right to rule Egypt, and there have been many beautiful women in history, but there are few like her. A talented woman like her should be very popular now.
