Cleopatra

Cleopatra Cleopatra VII’s life has been proven to be very interesting, but also weird. The Ptolemy’s and Cleopatra were very clever at manipulating people. Cleopatra also had many affairs with men such as Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Cleopatra was born in the capitol of Egypt, Alexandria in 69 BC. Cleopatra was the daughter of the pharaoh of Egypt, Ptolemy XII, who was also nicknamed Auletes, and his Queen, Cleopatra V Tryphaena. Cleopatra V was Auletes’ sister but it was perfectly normal for those of the Ptolemaic dynasty to marry their siblings. Many people may think it is very gross and wrong, but what they don’t understand is that they were in a whole different time; in their day and time it was just normal. Cleopatra’s father wasn’t a strong ruler at all; he was actually pretty weak. He was also proven to be a heartless ruler. That is why in 58 BC he had been overthrown by the Plebeians. In 55 BC he had regained his thrown and had his daughter, Berenice and her husband beheaded since they had taken over after he was overthrown and then ran off to Rome. Cleopatra had five sibilings.
