05 16, 2023

Queen Cleopatra was the last Ptolemaic king in Egypt. She was King Ptolemy XII's daughter. She ruled Egypt after conflicts with her brother Ptolemy XIII over power, after the death of their parents. However, the Roman ruler Julius Caesar, who was in Alexandria at the time, resolved the conflict between the two brothers in favor of Cleopatra, who resorted to a clever method, by making a carpet out of it in the shape of the goddess Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.

Cleopatra sought refuge with Ptolemy during his visit to Alexandria, because Rome began to interfere in the Ptolemaic family from the middle of the Ptolemaic rule, and it had a strong role in Egypt during this period, and even controlled the appointment of governors in Egypt. Due to her relationship with Julius Caesar, who appreciated her beauty and strength, Cleopatra could claim the title of the last of the Ptolemaic kings in Egypt, to rise to the throne at about 20 years of age.

Among the Ptolemaic dynasty, Cleopatra was the last to rule Egypt, was charisma, beauty, and intelligence put together. She could speak 9 different languages, which included the writing form of ancient Egyptians (hieroglyphics). She was the only one among the Ptolemaic rulers who mastered the matter. She used to organize a scientific council that included intellectuals, scientists and translators. Arab historians attributed many positive deeds to her, including diverting the course of the Nile to Alexandria and the Lighthouse of Alexandria and others, contrary to the Roman narratives that present her as a prostitute and a whore.

Cleopatra, the last king of the Cleopatra, the final ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty, bore a son from Julius Ceasar as her consort (Caesarion) and lived together for two years in Rome. When he got assassinated she fled back to Egypt. Subsequently Cleopatra, the last Ptolemaic ruler of Egypt, entered into wedlock with Mark Anthony who was already married to Octavia, the sister of Augustus, and bore him offspring. He entrusted her as well as her children with the governance of the eastern territories and British regions including Egypt, Silicia and Palestine.

After Antony's defeat in the naval battle of Actium, he committed suicide, and then Cleopatra, the last Ptolemaic king in Egypt, committed suicide, and the Ptolemaic state fell from ruling Egypt permanently, and Egypt became the Roman Empire, and Octavian became the first Roman emperor in 30 BC.
