Son ivrognerie et son amour pour Cléopâtre qui égalait sa passion pour le vin ».

[127][129][128] Historian Cassius Dio records that she did so without informing her brother, dressed in an attractive manner, and charmed Caesar with her wit. Quand elle parlait, le son même de sa voix donnait du plaisir. Les traits du visage se veulent réalistes : visage ovale, pommettes hautes, nez busqué imposant ; cheveux coiffés en chignon et chevelure entortillée en « côtes de melon »[o] (tête en marbre du Vatican, tête en marbre de Berlin). In de herfst van 48 v.Chr. [87][88][89][note 25] Rabirius was unable to collect the entirety of Ptolemy XII's debt by the time of the latter's death, and so it was passed on to his successors Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII. [141][142][143][note 36] Ganymedes then tricked Caesar into requesting the presence of the erstwhile captive Ptolemy XIII as a negotiator, only to have him join the army of Arsinoe IV. De tels dons ne la laissent sans doute pas longtemps démunie face au latin, encore que les Romains cultivés comme César parlent et lisent couramment le grec. Als Auletes' oudste overlevende kind (haar oudere zussen Berenice IV en Cleopatra VI waren reeds gestorven) werd zij regentes tijdens het koningschap van de oudste van haar jongere broers, Ptolemaeus XIII, die twaalf jaar oud was. [407][note 64] Cleopatra was also the first foreign queen to have her image appear on Roman currency. [284][280][269] In a show of loyalty to Rome, Octavian decided to begin construction of his own mausoleum at the Campus Martius. [431][note 71] Her ivory-white skin, round face, long aquiline nose, and large round eyes were features common in both Roman and Ptolemaic depictions of deities. [97][96] Bibulus, siding with Pompey in Caesar's Civil War, failed to prevent Caesar from landing a naval fleet in Greece, which ultimately allowed Caesar to reach Egypt in pursuit of Pompey. Il y a des raisons politiques, César ayant certainement l'intention d'annexer l'Égypte[21], mais aussi des raisons plus sentimentales, bien qu'il évoque les vents contraires pour expliquer pourquoi il a différé son retour. [437][334][310] The portrait painting of Cleopatra's death was perhaps among the great number of artworks and treasures taken from Rome by Emperor Hadrian to decorate his private villa, where it was found in an Egyptian temple. [174][169][175][note 43] As with their father Ptolemy XII, Caesar awarded both Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIV the legal status of "friend and ally of the Roman people" (Latin: socius et amicus populi Romani), in effect client rulers loyal to Rome.

[277][280][281], Antony and Cleopatra traveled together to Ephesus in 32 BC, where she provided him with 200 of the 800 naval ships he was able to acquire. [365][366], Cleopatra Selene II died around 5 BC, and when Juba II died in 23/24 AD he was succeeded by his son Ptolemy. [440][441] The other side of the vase perhaps contains a scene of Octavia, abandoned by her husband Antony but watched over by her brother, the emperor Augustus. [195] She decided to write Cassius an excuse that her kingdom faced too many internal problems, while sending the four legions left by Caesar in Egypt to Dolabella. [462], In Victorian Britain, Cleopatra was highly associated with many aspects of ancient Egyptian culture and her image was used to market various household products, including oil lamps, lithographs, postcards and cigarettes. Alors que le jeune roi vient d'atteindre sa majorité, Pothin et ses amis accusent la reine de complot contre son frère et provoquent un soulèvement des Alexandrins[22], si bien que Cléopâtre doit fuir en Syrie[23] puis à Ashkelon, au sud de la Judée, où elle se constitue une armée de mercenaires recrutée parmi les tribus arabes[24]. D'autres historiens, comme Maurice Le Glay, ont souligné les invraisemblances de ce récit qui serait un nouvel avatar de la propagande octavienne, car d'après eux un serpent lâche tout son venin à la première morsure ; deux cobras ne pourraient donc tuer trois personnes[54]. [302] Antony nearly committed suicide after hearing news of this but was stopped by his staff officers. en waren ook aanwezig toen Caesar werd vermoord. Antoine ordonne à sa femme, lorsque celle-ci parvient à Athènes, de rebrousser chemin. [293], On 2 September 31 BC the naval forces of Octavian, led by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, met those of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium.
