Her name is Cleopatra, her name is synonomous with beauty, intrigue, power and tragedy. Cleopatra was born in 69 B.C. into Egypt’s Dynasty, a dynasty under the protection of Rome. She was the third daughter in line to her father Ptolemy XII. At the age of 18 she assumed the throne along with younger brother Ptolemy XIII as husband according to Egyptian custom. She was the only Ptolemic Pharoah to speak the Egyptian language. She also took on the Egyptian religion. She was very intelligent and was a shrewd politician with an extraordinary charisma. Cleopatra’s story is one of the most famous ever. Her death was the mark of the end of the Egyptian Monarchs. The Roman Emperors came into to rule in Egypt. The Ptolemies were Macedonian in decent, but ruled as Egyptians, as Pharaohs. Cleopatra was the last Pharaoh of Egypt. This fine art Bust of Cleopatra Queen of Egypt sculpture is quite an exquisite gift for her or for your interior decoration.
