Cleopatra was Egypt's last and greatest queen. Cleopatra means "her father's destiny" in Greek.
She married her brother Ptolemy to become Queen at the age of sixteen, but then her brother gained more power so she had to leave Egypt. She needed help from Rome so she came up with a plan. So she rolled herself up in a carpet to be given to Caesar. Caesar unrolled the carpet and as soon as he saw her it was love at first sight.
Caesar put Cleopatra back on her throne, but Ptolemy did not like it so he declared a war. Caesar won, and Ptolemy drowned in the Nile River.
Cleopatra's favorite goddess was Isis the goddess of magic and life. Cleopatra and Caesar fell in love and had a son.
After Caesar died Cleopatra fell in love with Mark Antony. She rode a special barge to meet him to make him fall in love with her. After Mark Antony fell in love with Cleopatra there were lots of wars in Rome. After Cleopatra got caught Mark Antony thought she got killed so he killed himself.
After he killed himself Cleopatra was so sad that he did that in 49BCE she went to his tomb and killed herself by drinking poison or by letting herself get bitten by an Asp.
