1, story:

Caesar met Cleopatra when he was in Egypt, and was attracted by her and became Caesar's mistress. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated in the Roman Senate 42 years ago and was killed by Brutu and others. The reason is that many Parthians are against him. Cleopatra gave birth to a son, Kai Zi of Caesar, of course, so he was called Little Caesar.

After Caesar's death, marc anthony, as the last three allies at that time, was allocated land and went to the area under his jurisdiction to fight bandits, so he met the beautiful Cleopatra, and they got married about 33 years ago.

With the declaration of war on Octavian, Anthony never liked Octavian, because he was the heir appointed by Caesar, and accused Octavian of being an upstart, usurping power and forging Caesar's will. The two men immediately launched the famous Akron naval battle at 3 1, and of course the troops also included Cleopatra.

However, the war was quickly finished in the summer of the first 30 years, because Anthony lived in Egypt for a long time and was very hasty in preparing for the war. At the same time, Octavian found Cleopatra and made her surrender. Cleopatra is unwilling, first of all, because of his self-esteem and national interests. Secondly, if he succumbs to Octavian, he will be tortured and abused, because if Octavian takes her back to Rome, it will be a slap in the face. At the same time, Anthony learned the news of Cleopatra's death during his escape, and was so sad that he committed suicide by caesarean section.

One theory about Cleopatra's death is that he was killed by a poisonous snake. In recent years, academic circles believe that he was murdered by Octavian. Because Cleopatra wanted to fight for the interests of Rome through little Caesar, Octavian could not say whether he killed little Caesar.

In September of 3 1 year, Octavian fought Antony and Queen Cleopatra VII in Aksin, Greece. At the height of the war, the Queen of Egypt thought that Anthony had no chance of winning, so she withdrew her troops to Egypt, and Anthony also went to Egypt together. Octavian then invaded Egypt, the Queen of Egypt and Anthony committed suicide, and Egypt was also occupied by Rome.

Extended data

Cleopatra's character evaluation: Blaise Pascal once said: "If Cleopatra's nose is one inch long or one inch short, maybe the world will change", and the coins in ancient Rome just reflect this fact. Cleopatra in the coin is not only not beautiful, but also ugly. Cleopatra was able to seduce Julius Caesar and Anthony because they were attracted by Cleopatra's wisdom.
