Queen Cleopatra VII (died 30 BC), was one of the most famous queens of the ancient world ever, and one of the most famous queens of Egypt throughout its long history.

According to many historians, they consider her the last Queen of the Ptolemaic era, and after the end of her rule, Egypt entered the beginning of a new era with the entry of the Romans into Egypt.

There is a belief that no official marriage ceremony was held between Ptolemy XIII and his sister and that the two ruled together only. The book explains that Cleopatra's name at the beginning of her rule came after her brother's name, indicating that he was the dominant ruler, at the same time Ptolemy XIII had obtained three new guardians; Photinus, Achilles, and one of his teachers, Theodotus of Chios, were the group who in turn planned to remove Cleopatra from power, which was achieved in 49 BC when Ptolemy XIII was declared the sole ruler of Egypt.

Cleopatra was a well-educated and fluent speaker of many languages including Greek, Egyptian, and the ones mentioned above as well.

In 51 BCE, Cleopatra was named,, together with her younger brother andhusband,d Ptolemy XIII, as co-ruler of Egypt, following the Ptolemaic practice of sibling marriage.

In 41 BCE, she got engaged with Mark Antony, one of Rome’s triumvirates, both romantically and politically. Their relationship was controversial and in the military perspective, it was a good strategy because it was intended to join the forces of Egypt and Rome against the mutual enemy.

They, in a lavish style, together stayed and became the object of the whole Roman propaganda. Augustus, a name he got later on, used the relationship to gain opposition for the Romans and pictured Cleopatra as an outsider woman who was insinuating values of Rome.
