    Just the look on Augustus's face is enough to tell you that Cleopatra not only humiliated him but she had also managed to deny him the pleasure of taking her alive back to Italy as prisoner to parade her through the streets of Rome for the people to spit at yell all kinds of abuse at her. I wonder what Augustus was thinking in his head at that moment.

      ​@@avalle4493It probably did bother Augustus at least a little bit. He wanted to bring Cleopatra back to Rome to be put in His triumph and then executed in front of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. It'd be a big boost to Augustus' image to show the Roman people the actual queen He conquered. Without Cleopatra, Augustus couldn't put on as big of a show as He would have liked

      The way Agrippa gruffly asked that question implied that he was still contemptuous of Cleopatra, whom he saw only as a war criminal who deserved further humiliation and pain as a prisoner in Rome. I believe that it was Cleopatra's saving grace in this movie. For all her ambitions and manipulations, her actions were no different from that of the Romans she opposed. In this movie, all the main characters (Caesar, Antony, Cleopatra, Octavian [Augustus]) were selfish villains willing to trample on the lives of others to achieve their ambitions. Despite this, they all had redeeming qualities that made them relatable to viewers.

One last "fuck you" to the man who took her kingdom. I think that by her death, she was saying that if I don't acknowledge you, my people sure as hell won't. Why did Caesar care if she died, anyway? What did he need her for? He had her kingdom. Why was she still so important to him? In another version of Cleopatra, Caesar says "You win, Cleopatra" when he finds her dead. Wins what?

With Cleopatra committing suicide, Octavian had to settle for parading a statue of Cleopatra. It's a ding towards Octavian's victory that He didn't capture Cleopatra alive.

      +z0rrofan9 There is too much evidence to suggest that her father was not illegitimate. Her grandfather was said to have had two sons. They were captured by Mithridates in 103 BC in the island of Cos after which they grew up in his court and the brothers were engaged to his daughters.
      After Cleopatra's father and uncle were asked to step on the throne of Egypt and Cyprus, these marriages never took place. The illegitimacy of Cleopatra's father is loosely noted. One Roman writer mentioned it but it seems it implies other suggestions than actual illegitimacy. Cleopatra's father was not popular at all.
      As for Cleopatra's maternity, there is no evidence except for Strabo's comment which too is not explicit. There is no proof that the skeleton found in Ephesus is that of her sister's. If that were the case, it could be assumed that she indeed was half Egyptian because the half-sister theory has no proof.

    Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears.
    Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales.
    Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws.
    To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung.
    Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.
    Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the Hawaiian archipelago, and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans.
    Additionally, sea snakes are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
    More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 500 genera and about 3,400 species.
    They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm-long thread snake to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length.
    The fossil species Titanoboa cerrejonensis was 12.8 meters (42 ft) long.
    Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards, perhaps during the Jurassic period, with the earliest known fossils dating to between 143 and 167 Ma ago.
    The diversity of modern snakes appeared during the Paleocene period (c 66 to 56 Ma ago).
    The oldest preserved descriptions of snakes can be found in the Brooklyn Papyrus.
    Most species are nonvenomous and those that have venom use it primarily to kill and subdue prey rather than for self-defense.
    Some possess venom potent enough to cause painful injury or death to humans.
    Nonvenomous snakes either swallow prey alive or kill by constriction.

    Cleopatra was our great Queen of Dinasty of Ptolemy. Ptolemy was bodyguard of Alexander the Great. The 19.th King of Macedónia. And who made Makedonia (back then) the absolute world power number 1 Cleopatra was not mixed blood like Alexander, she even after many generation was 100 procent Macedon or Makedon as you wish, and our last Queen and as played by Mrs Taylor she became even a beuty who indeed she was originally but you should know she knew at least 6 language (then) know nearly all sience of her time and crreated her self a magnetic flighing memorial which was supposed to be fligh the day of the birth of Alexander the Great of Macedónia. She was ready to meet the challange to create a religion based on life of Alexander and not on basis of Jesus Christ. Makedonia was allways a Kingdom while Greece was not. Cleopatra was from pure Macedon blood from Ptolemy dinasty Ptolemy was bodyguard of Alexander the Great the King of Macedónia or Makedon which (the Kingdom) may be compared to Italy. but you probably english. For english tipo of people (exept very few intelligens) this story meen nithing like for us everithing.even a children in Róma know more at 8 years than english a kind of people but no more and never will be real rulers again the english are not natural leanders of this planet át all. Italy , perhaps.yes something great like Pavarotti or Spain with kind oersons as Placido Domingo. Spain today very underestimated as potential world power because not weapons....

    Still...as angry as Octavian was at finding she had taken her own life....I wonder what they did with her body. Was it taken back and put on display in Rome for the people to see and gawk at, was she cremated, thrown in a ditch and covered up ? And what of Antony...was he cremated, ...or did Cleopatra order it to be taken somewhere safe so they could not destroy it ? Anyone know ??

      The Roman historians tell us that in order to placate and ingratiate himself to the subjects of Cleopatra, he granted her dying wish to be entombed with Antony. There was also a sense of "noblesse oblige" that rulers do not disrespect even their enemies in death.

      As others have said, Cleopatra and Antony were given the proper honors after Their deaths. An interesting fact that doesn't get talked about as much though is Cleopatra's afterlife. There is evidence that there was an active shrine in honor of Cleopatra in a temple of Isis that was around for centuries after Her death. Cleopatra was worshipped by Her people as a Goddess just like the rest of the Ptolemaic dynasty. This just goes to show how beloved She was

      The ancient writers say that Cleopatra and Antony were given the proper burial rites. Octavian would have instantly lost any chance of gaining the trust of the Egyptians if He disposed of Cleopatra's body disrespectfully and the Romans would have been upset too if anything happened to Antony's body (it wasn't proper to desecrate the corpse of a fellow Roman)

      RedMeatForDogs she was an ear of a Greek dynasty after Alexander the 1st had fallen. Her bloodline is mostly pure because they wanted to keep it royal makedonian. She is born in Egypt and her country is indeed Egypt but her bloodline is Greek which makes her pale skinned. She has nothing to do with rome as more as to keep her out of Egypt ruling. She didn't betray neither Greece or Rome. No matter the greek blood line SHE WAS EGYPTIAN!

    This film was so lost. If you read the Cleopatra Papers its pretty obvious that Mankiewicz never had any idea of what he was doing. Roddy McDowell as Antony? None of the spectacle comes through either. I mean the Battle of Actium was a complete dud. If you are going to turn an historical personal drama into a massive epic find a director who knows how to direct spectacle. But Mankiewicz blew both the large scale and small scale. Janet Suzman caught the tragedy of Cleopatra, Taylor never came close.
