Queen Cleopatra
Born into the Hellenistic rule of Egypt, Cleopatra ascended to the throne following her father’s demise. She became renowned for her relationships with Julius Caesar and, later, Mark Antony, who ruled Egypt for two decades. When Roman forces overcame the Alexandrian defenders, both Antony and Cleopatra chose to end their lives.
While the tale of Cleopatra’s life and her legendary beauty have been recounted and reinterpreted for centuries, her racial background remains a subject of debate. Nevertheless, historical consensus suggests that she possessed a strong chin, a broad forehead, and a prominent nose.
