Did you know that 2041 years ago today (Aug. 30) Cleopatra committed suicide?
 
No, I did not. What little I know about her has intrigued me though.

I beleive she was murdered.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_VII#Death

She had to die for Egypt to become a truly Roman province. Which it did.

There is also the pesky fact that the asp did not produce enough venom to kill Cleopatra and all her servants as the old stories, written by Roman historians and poets, dictate.

Evidence points to the fact that all her nasty deeds finally caught up to her. She'd murdered her husband/brother. She'd murdered her sister. Anyone who stood in her way simply disappeared. With the untimely death of Julius Caesar, she knew she would be next on the 'hit list' and ended it before someone ended it for her. The asp, I think, was nothing more than a romantic ending to a tragic 'love affair', and I use that term very, very loosely. Caesar may have loved Cleo, but Cleo had very little love for anyone or anything except power. There was nothing romantic about Cleopatra.

Read the research for yourself, or watch the numerous documentaries about the history behind it, but whatever. Believe what you want. The woman was a ruthless survivor. Mark Antony was a power hungry bitch. Only her death would turn Egypt over to the Roman Empire, and Antony was being pressured for results. She had to die, and I beleive it was by his hand.

An asp? LOL Even a dozen would have had the venom necessary to kill her and all her servants. There were no witness' left alive and the only sources to call it suicide were Roman.
 
You learn something new every day. I still love the romanticism of the asp.
 
Caesar: She shall be buried by her Antony:/No grave upon the earth shall clip in it/A pair so famous. High events as these/Strike those that make them;and their story is/No less in pity than his glory which/Brought them to be lamented. Our army shall/In solemn show attend this funeral;/And then to Rome.--Come, Dolabella, see/High order in this great solemnity.
 
I heard she used semen as a moisturizer.

U sound jealous. I would have loved to be Cleopatra back then. However, I would have been meaner and force my servants to perform hot boy on boy sex with one another for my pleasure.
 
Exactly 2,041 years? Does that include the days lost converting from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar?
