Long Live the Queen
Cleopatra before her death on
August 12, 30 BC
By H. Hardy
After a grueling battle between
Octavian and the notorious Mark
Antony, we now have a victor. Mark
Antony was killed, and Octavian was
crowned ruler of Rome.
After the brutal blow of losing Antony,
Cleopatra took her our life. She left
behind a legacy along with her children.
Cleopatra accomplished many feats in
her lifetime including influencing the
shaping of Rome through her
companions Julius Caesar and Mark
Antony.
Although she was betrayed by most of
her family, she overcame the odds and
ruled for many years on the throne in
Alexandria.
