Cleopatra was born of an ancient Greek dynasty that stretched back to the time of Alexander the Great, and as the last Pharaoh of Egypt she was the last ruler before the once mighty kingdom became a vassal state under the Roman Empire of the first century BCE. She was an astute leader and sometime lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony.
