Cleopatra’s Early Years… Cleopatra was born in 69 B.C. in Alexandria, Egypt. When she was young she liked playing with animals. She enjoyed playing with her sisters. Cleopatra became queen when she was eighteen. She was driven out of Egypt when she was twenty. Cleopatra on a coin.

Cleopatra is Famous Because… Cleopatra was the last queen and pharaoh of Egypt. Cleopatra was doing a man’s job in a time where women did not have those kind of rights. William Shakespeare wrote a play about her called Antony and Cleopatra. She was married to two of the most powerful men in Rome. She was the first and only Ptolemy to learn Egyptian. This is a picture of the book I used.

Cleopatra’s Later Years… Cleopatra married her brother Ptolemy XIII, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. She had four children one was with Julius Caesar the other three were with Mark Antony. She fought and lost lots of wars. Cleopatra went to Rome a lot of times. She died in 30 B.C. at age thirty-nine. No one knows how except that she must have taken some form of poison.

Cleopatra’s Impact on Others lives… Cleopatra helped Egypt become what it is today. If she had not lived William Shakespeare would not have written the play Antony and Cleopatra. Cleopatra inspires books, plays and movies. She showed that women could do anything that men could do. Even though she died young she was a very powerful woman. A painting of Cleopatra.

My Opinion on Cleopatra She is a good example of perseverance because she did not give up her plans with Julius Caesar after he died. She was intelligent because in a war she made a battle strategy of putting troops on water and land and it worked. She was bilingual because she understood Greek, Latin, Egyptian and other languages. Cleopatra was confident because she was fine talking to Rome’s most powerful men. Finally she was quick-thinking because of how fast she solved her problems. Another painting of Cleopatra.
