Why Cleopatra is not the Great Queen you Believe She is ?
Cleopatra VII of Egypt, known for her political astuteness and alliances with powerful Romans like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, rose to power through manipulation and opportunism. Despite her legendary beauty and charisma, she faced economic instability and internal strife during her reign. Cleopatra's lavish spending and failed military campaigns drained Egypt's resources, leading to social unrest. She cultivated a divine image through propaganda, portraying herself as the reincarnation of the goddess Isis. However, her downfall came with her ill-fated alliance with Mark Antony against Octavian, resulting in defeat at the Battle of Actium. Faced with capture, Cleopatra chose to die by suicide, marking the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty and Egypt's annexation by Rome. Her legacy is one of both fascination and caution, highlighting the complexities of power and the consequences of ambition.
