Product Information

The first three years of Cleopatra’s reign were tough. When Cleopatra took the throne, Egypt was already beset by a terrible drought—low Nile flooding meant that crops failed, trade suffered, people went hungry, and less money was made. Political unrest caused by the bad conditions made a coup against Cleopatra almost inevitable —but as always, she had an ace up her sleeve.

Vivien Leigh as Cleopatra; Flora Robson as Ftatateeta in ‘Caesar and Cleopatra’ by Wilfrid Newton, 1945, via the National Portrait Gallery, LondonMartinez believes Taposiris Magna was closely associated with the myth - pointing to the temple's name and suggesting that the inclusion of 'Osiris' could mean it was one of the places where his body was scattered in the story. That royal respect even applies to the mini queens. After all, there are plenty of kid Cleopatra costumes out there. Once your little girl is wearing the wide gold collar and is walking with a billowing gauze cape behind her, there's not much distance between her and the last queen of Egypt! Even today, over 2,000 years after her death, Cleopatra remains one of history’s most intriguing and memorable women. And for good reason: her reign is rich in story and scandal. The Egyptian Queen commanded her own army, enamored not one but two Roman rulers, and inspired countless works of art, literature, and film. Her prowess as a ruler made her legendary, and the stories of her romances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony made her unforgettable. Here are 46 dazzling facts about Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile.

The starlet is truly mesmerizing to look at as the queen of the Nile, and as it turns out, she was already an acting heavyweight at the time. As The Guardian wrote years later in 2011, "Janet Suzman was one of the giants of the British stage in the 60s and 70s," adding that she was even poised for Hollywood — yet never made it. Starring in a plethora of Shakespearean roles throughout the '60s and '70s such as "Kate in The Taming of the Shrew, Portia in The Merchant of Venice and Ophelia in Hamlet," the actress mused to the outlet that she believes Tinseltown is "conservative." Elaborating, Suzman explained, "If you've worn a tiara, they are always looking for tiara parts for you." Within months of taking the throne, Cleopatra made it clear she had no interest in sharing power with her younger brother. Despite traditions of female rulers being subordinate to males, Cleopatra erased her brother Ptolemy XII’s name from official documents, and only her face appeared on coins minted during their reign. Cleopatra's purported sexual appetite is the stuff of legend - and Shakespeare. When the Romans came around, Cleopatra had an illegitimate son with Julius Caesar. Later, she became romantically linked toMark Antony, which ended up costing her life. But when her bedchambers were empty, Cleopatra allegedly found other ways to entertain herself. There's speculation to this day about the way that Cleopatra took her own life. She'd been known for her penchant for poison, so it's generally agreed upon that it played a role, with one rumor claiming she'd poisoned herself. One of the most generally accepted stories is that she induced an asp (an Egyptian cobra) to bite her. Fans went wild over Halle's appearance, with one responding to the head-turning photo: "YES! This hair, the gold, the look… #unstoppable."Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

A couple of the clones have an ED so they come together to make a group chat to help eachother. (In a pro-ana way) Cleopatra and Mark Antony had three sons together. First came twins named Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios (that’s right, twins named Sun and Moon). But it gets even weirder. They had another son they named Ptolemy Philadelphus. Yes, that's Ptolemy the brother-lover. Named after his mother, I guess. In Caesar and Cleopatra, Pascal takes inspiration from George Bernard Shaw’s play (also titled Caesar and Cleopatra) to reimagine Cleopatra no longer as a busty, seductive sex symbol but instead as a shy nymphet figure. Author Vladimir Nabokov first coined the term “ nymphet” Vladimir Nabokov in his modern erotic classic Lolita. Lolita tells the story of a man entranced and vexed by a young girl who is innocently unaware of her own sexual power over him. From this novel, the archetype was popularized and provided a wider vocabulary with which to discuss predecessors to the genre such as Bernard Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra and Pascal’s adaptation. Octavian was furious that the symbol of his victory was gone, but nevertheless, he consented to let Cleopatra be buried side by side with her love Mark Antony —but mysteries still abound about her death and final resting place. Even today, no one knows exactly where the tomb that houses the bodies of Cleopatra and Mark Antony is. Archaeologists continue to search for it.
