Known for her intelligence, political acumen, and romantic liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, she sought to preserve Egypt's independence amidst Rome's expansion. Her alliance with Antony led to their defeat by Octavian (later Augustus) at the Battle of Actium. Facing inevitable capture, Cleopatra committed suicide in 30 BC, marking the end of Ptolemaic rule and Egypt's annexation by Rome. Her legacy endures as a symbol of ancient Egypt's grandeur and intrigue.
