Queen of Egypt · 69 BC – 30 BC
Cleopatra VII was the last active ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, famed for her intellect, her command of many languages, and her alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Defeated by Octavian after the Battle of Actium, she died in 30 BC as Egypt became a Roman province. Her life and words survive chiefly through the ancient historians Plutarch and Cassius Dio.
