 * Basic Information-
 *  Bio:I was born in 69 BC in the capital of Egypt, Alexandria. In 51 BC, my father Ptomlemy XII died. Since I was the eldest child, I inherited the throne along side my brother Ptolemy XIII. I turned 18 years old and was already the queen of Egypt. At the time, the Romans were conquering almost everyone and were beginning to take control over Egypt while I was queen. I struggled trying to keep control of my country. As well as that, I had many enemies that I had to deal with. Many were jealous that I was intelligent and an independent ruler. After three years of ruling, one of my father’s advisors overthrew me and forced me to leave Egypt for Syria. Because of that, my younger brother became the only ruler of my country. I was extremely angry that this happened so I devised a plan to get back to Egypt and talk the Roman general, Julius Caesar. My plan was to wrap myself in an oriental rug and have it given to Caesar as a gift. He unrolled the rug and found me, falling in love with me right away. My brother was now extremely angry so he declared war against Caesar and his army right away. While in battle, my brother died and Caesar took the throne. I was then restored to the throne as queen. Caesar and I had a son together shortly after but unfortunately he died soon after that. After his death, Rome began to fall apart. I knew that in order to stay in power, I had to remain allies with Rome. Soon, the Roman Empire’s new ruler, Mark Antony, and I fell in love. His country was not in favor of our love because they did not want me in charge. In 30 BC, a man named Octavian, who was in line for the throne of the Roman Empire, declared war on Egypt and defeated my love Mark Antony. He then had me arrested so that neither of us was in power. I died at the age of 39 as the last Pharaoh of Egypt.
