Cleopatra was born in 69BC in Alexandria, Egypt. Cleopatra VII is a heroic female because she realised that her country was going to be taken over by Rome and needed to be their ally, not their enemy. She was also a loving and caring wife.
Cleopatra was very smart and spoke many different languages and understood that the easiest way to create allies is marriage. So, she tried her hardest to make sure that she kept her country powerful by having a baby with Julius Caesar. When Julius Caesar died, she then went to the a Roman politician and married him so she kept the alliance strong, Mark Antony. They married, had a set of twins and another child. They were married for three years before Cleopatra bravely gave up her life for the sake of her countries protection. |
