"Vintage engraving from 1879 after the statue by W Story of Cleopatra. Cleopatra VII Philopator (69 BC to August 12, 30 BC) was the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra originally ruled jointly with her father Ptolemy XII Auletes and later with her brothers, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, whom she married as per Egyptian custom, but eventually she became sole ruler. As pharaoh, she consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne. She later elevated her son with Caesar, Caesarion, to co-ruler in name."
