Cleopatra's death was sudden and had a great impact on the people of Egypt. After the loss of a battle, her husband, Marc Anothony, killed himself and not much later Cleopatra committed suicide too by letting a poisonous snake bite her.
Really nice blog post. I like how you did the summary in bullet points. And I got surprised by the way she died. That's a very unique way of committing suicide but it must have been too much for the poor lady.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that Cleopatra was the last ruler of Egypt. Her death must have done a great deal to the mural of Egyptians. Her death seems very tragic.
