The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra
I guess when a person thinks about Cleopatra the queen of Egypt (51-30 B.C.), what comes to your mind first is her love affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. When her father who was king of Egypt had died in 51 B.C., Cleopatra, who at the very young age of 17, and her brother, Ptolemy XII, a mere child possibly only 12 years old, both inherited the throne of Egypt, with the understanding that they should marry. However, after a few years had past by, Ptolemy advisors pushed him to gain complete control of the country and to get rid of his sister, Cleopatra. Well, the exiled queen immediately formed an army in Syria but was not able to reclaim her throne until Julius Caesar arrived at Alexandria. While in Egypt, Caesar and Cleopatra became more than just friends, they developed an intimate relationship. Now, this is only my opinion, but did the exiled queen just use Caesar to gain his full support for her cause to help her to retain her throne? The Egyptians resisted for a little while, to the eventual end of Ptolemy XII being killed, and then Caesar declared that Cleopatra was the Queen of Egypt.
But, now a new twist was added to the complicated life of Cleopatra. She was bound by a custom in Egypt to marry her 11 year old brother, Ptolemy XIII. After their joint government was securely set up, the queen of Egypt decides to go to Rome and moved in with Caesar. She gave birth to a son born as the result of this relationship. When Caesar was assassinated in the year 44 B.C., it is believed that Cleopatra poisoned her husband, who was also her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII.
Now, Cleopatra found herself in the middle of a civil war after the death of Caesar, and she really was undecided as to which side she should take. Mark Antony demanded that she meet with him with an explanation for her behavior. But, here we go again, I believe the queen of Egypt once more turned on the old charm and had Mr. Antony eating out of her hand. He began to love her, with both of them going back to Egypt. Time passed by, and Antony had a desire to go back to Rome. There he married Octavia, who was a sister of Caesar’s heir Octavian.
After Mark Antony had left Egypt, he not only left Cleopatra, but also the twins that was born, which were his. Later on, he called for the queen of Egypt to be with him at Antioch, where they were married and had another child, this making three babies now. In 34 B.C., after a victory against the Parthians, he rejoiced at Alexandria, Egypt. Two years later, Octavian declared war against Cleopatra and Antony. This resulted in Antony divorcing Octavia.
Cleopatra desired to be involved in this war. But, as time rolled on, she believed that defeat was in the future, and she backed out of the conflict. Both she and Antony went back to Alexandria. As the army of Octavian drew upon them, Antony believed a lie that the queen was dead, and he killed himself. Cleopatra it is said that she heard that Octavian intended to show her as a trophy for his victory in Rome, so rather than go through that humiliation, she decided to kill herself also. Eventually, Egypt became a Roman province.
