Also, despite modern depictions of her, she wasn't super attractive in a way that lured men in. She was above average for the time but relatively plain. She was charismatic though. According to Plutarch "For her beauty, as we are told, was in itself not altogether incomparable, nor such as to strike those who saw her.” The image of her as a sultry seductress comes from propaganda Augustus put out to try and explain why Mark Antony lost his way and went from a respected Roman leader to a pawn of a foreign ruler that needed to be dealt with (however true or untrue that may be). You know what is sexy to Roman leaders? Having access to the territory that provides food for Rome when Rome cannot feed itself. She could've been 400lbs with warts all on her face and they still would have tried to bang her because of the advantages she brought as the last Pharoah of egypt
She was most likely thicc or downright obese since many royals in Egypt had a high carb diet and just ate a lot in general. Fat, rich Egyptians basically
The streets around the palace area were barricaded with Caesar defending it. The Egyptian army was outside But, people were being smuggled in and out. Cleopatra, was in Syria when she heard about Caesar taking the Palace and royal family hostage. When she got there, she found a guy to smuggle her into the barricaded zone to talk to Caesar.
She didn't really have a throne at that time. Her brother was senior Pharoah. After Caesar won in Egypt and the Pharoah drowned, he forced Cleopatra to marry her other brother, and that brother became the new senior Pharoah. But, his advisors were really ruling and these were Ceasar's puppets. After that, Cleopatra left Egypt to go live in Italy. It's only after Caesar died, that she returned to Egypt, killed her second brother, took the throne and ruled (for the first time in her life).
@@dhaqabk4022 Not too inaccurate. They skip too much of what happened to be significantly inaccurate. The main inaccuracies are small. 1. Her sleeping with Titus Pullo. 2. Her wearing Egyptian clothes in Alexandria. Alexandia was a Greek city. Cleopatra herself, and all her ancestors and relatives, were Greek. (and the royals family married syblings) The Ptolemies (Cleopatra's dynasty) had to create 2 seperate political images. Inside the city of Alexandria they dressed Greek. Statues, etc were Greek. In order to please the Greeks populating Alexandria. But outside Alexandria, in the rest of Egypt, the Ptolemies depicted themselves as Egyptian. Dressing Egyptian. Statues, etc were Egyptian. This was done to keep the native population happy. Ptolemiac Egypt was a lot like Apartheid South Africa. It was ruled for 300 years by a European minority, who conquered the place.

@@tylerdurden3722 Interesting. Thanks for the info. Worth the read. I agree that the show couldn’t paint an accurate picture of what went down but at least they tried even though there was a lot of glazing over in order to make it appropriate enough for the zeitgeist audience. That’s why I still miss hbo’s Rome as it was entertaining af.
It must be noted that: One, Cleopatra, as her name suggests, was a Greek, if looked more at depth a Macedonian woman ( Macedonian as we say an Athenian Greek, a Spartan Greek etc ). Secondly, Cleopatra indeed was not that much seductive. She was beautiful but nothing god-like. What made her point out from the others was her rhetorical skills. Her way of speaking could charm anyone she pleassed. Last but not least, she was able to speak a bunch of different languages and thus did not need any translators during diplomatic meetings.
History depictions pisses me off! First of all, Cleopatra was not a beautifully facially attractive woman. What made her attractive was her mind. Her wondering mind made her famous. Her eloquence, her attire, her home, her mind, made men want her.
What made her attractive for romans was The unlimited supply of food... Yeah she could have been 600lbs and still would be attractive because what she could made possible by hers countys food supply.
@@draczen not really, Cleopatra or Egypt for that matter was in no position to tell Rome to go pound sand if Rome wanted its grain. Egypt was heavily in debt to Rome and did not have a army that could stop it from just taking it over which Rome would eventually do. Just about all the Roman elite men hated her until they actually meet her. It was said she was highly intelligent, could carry a conversation about anything, and her voice and personality was very seductive.
The same writing about her that says she was not extremely beautiful later says she was indeed very beautiful. But it was moreso her mind that was alluring.
Understand that Julius was pretty handsome, he could have literally any woman in the world but came back for Cleopatra every time. Why? Because she was the only person in the world that entertained Julius intellectually. And this makes sense due to Cleo being really smart, fluent in multiple languages including ancient Egyptian which most of the Ptolomys didn't even bother with learning and she was good at politics managing to sway even the most traditionalist of Egyptians to favour her as a ruler. She wasn't pretty though, been often remarked to being quite average, though there was a joke going around that she had a weird nose and Cesar had an attraction to that XD.
She didn't really have a say in the matter. Caesar banged so many women that his soldiers wrote marching songs about it. Once there was a rumor that one of his wives (Pompeia) was having an affair. It was untrue and he knew it was untrue. He divorced her anyway because "the wife of Caesar must be above all suspicion". It sounds harsh but you have to remember that our modern sense of decorum didn't exist back then. People would attack one another with baseless rumors in order to harm their reputation. For example, Antony and Antony's brother claimed like 3 different dudes buttfucked Augustus because they knew that to Romes conservative culture being the submissive in a homosexual relationship would be looked down upon. Romans lied about one another so much that it's hard to cut through all the bullshit Was this guy actually crazy or was it propaganda from his successor? Did this insane event actually happen or is it just a lie for popularity? Sometimes the lies can help. Claudius was the brother of one emperor and uncle of another. He was portrayed as a mentally deficient idiot and everyone believed he was an idiot. When his nephew Caligula was assassinated by his praetorian guards they put Claudius in charge. They believed he could be easily controlled due to his lack of intelligence. It turned out that he wasnt an idiot and he was just a quiet, shy guy with a speech impediment. He ended up being the second great emperor after Augustus
Well, i mean, everybody already knew of Caesar and Servilia (Brutus’s mother) since they were adolescents. Having an affair with Cleopatra was like the meme where the guy in a pool pours water over himself.
@@TheBacknblack92 "You have to remember our modern sense of decorum didn't exist back then" It existed back then as much as it does today. In some, there is abundance, and in others, it is distinctly absent. Society may have changed but humans haven't.
@@muzaffarbinma8710 no, she was of Macedonian greek descent. She was just the only one in her family who bothered to actually learn and speak the Egyptian language quite fluently (along with 8 other languages) which added greatly to her popularity amongst the Egyptian people.

I wonder how beautiful she really was... Historians debates,some say her beauty was absolutely stunning and would made any man crazy. While others suggest she was an average woman on appearance... I guess we'll never know.
I heard from "somewhere" that Cleopatra, when she first met Julius Caesar, presented herself to him COMPLETELY NAKED! (not hard to figure out what that probably led to...).
People always say Cleopatra was black. But i think ancient Egyptians were not exactly black, but more like brown skinned. I believe they would look similar to modern day middle east people. Just saying.
@@DUNDOM5 you maybe right but we don't know for sure who her mother was. It's been said her mother could have been a princess from modern day Syria or somewhere around there.
They weren’t equal. Cleopatra’s father commanded in his will that his son and daughter would rule jointly. When the son tried to remove her from power, Caesar offered to mediate the dispute since Rome was the Executor of the will. The son attacked Caesar so he was deposed and Cleopatra was given sole rule.
In this case, J. Ceasars definition of "Supporting" included a blood stained sword and several beheaded bodies scattered throughout the palace, in order to Clearly Emphasize his position on the matter! 💯🥋🤯
Those coins shouldn't be taken as a true source of what she looked like. Cleopatra was a Pharaoh of Egypt and Pharaohs are suppose to be men. It's more then likely she had then make her look more like a man but still be presented a woman to show how strong of a ruler she was. And just to use a more modern example, George Washington did not look like what his portrait is on the dollar bill or quarter.
Her only known surviving child was her daughter Selene with Mark Anthony. Selene became wife and Queen in Numidia when she married its King, a Roman client.
Their child (she was the proclaimed reincarnation of the VIRGIN goddess Isis) also left his father's kingdom(emperor/godly figure) at 12 and came back at 30 preaching of eastern philosophy. Wonder where I've herd this story before?
Egypt was neither white or black egypt was very diverse for that time. We tended to view egypt through the prism of modern politics but at the time kingdoms expanded around the people meaning that you could be living in your home village all your life but be a subject of a different kingdom every couple of years. So that’s why we can’t say egypt was just built by black people or white people.
@@Beavereaver Umm... Perhaps you should take a look at the hair color of some of the mummies, and the Y DNA of those mummies. I can't speak for the Egyptian plebs, but let's just say Hitler would've had an affinity for them.
She may have been a pulse fluttering woman, but that is why I always respected Augustus. He saw what happened to his Uncle and Brutus and realized no ass is worth all that hassle. That said he probably didn't need to execute her kid, fathered by Uncle Julius
Cleopatra was ine unlucky jinxed lady she loved ceaser ceaser died she loved mark anthony and forced him to kill himself. Had both these men stayed wary of her theyd be better of
It’s called white supremacy or white washed those people didn’t look nothing like that until whites came into power and turned the face of all great people into what they call acceptable complexion
How do we know that she wasn't black or dark skinned ?! 🤔 Because frankly, *we don't know* !!!
