Cleopatra!?

Question

What are some really good but sort of unknown facts about Cleopatra?

Answer 1

She had a big nose and looked like she'd been run over by a bus. Thats what I've read anyway.

Answer 2

I've recently heard that she married Anthony. (don't know if this is true)

Also, she might have had a strong interest in gynecology

Answer 3

As a Ptolemy, Cleopatra was Macedonian, but even though her ancestry was Macedonian, she was still an Egyptian queen and worshipped as a god. Cleopatra was a strong-willed Macedonian queen who was brilliant and dreamed of a greater world empire. She was a quick-witted woman who was fluent in nine languages, however, Latin was not one of them. She was the first Ptolemy pharaoh who could actually speak Egyptian, and proved to be a shrewd politician.

She was a mathematician and a very good businesswoman. She had a genuine respect for Caesar, whose intelligence and wit matched her own. Antony on the other hand almost drove her insane with his lack of intelligence and his excesses. She dealt with him and made the most of what she had to do. She fought for her country. She had a charismatic personality, was a born leader and an ambitious monarch. She was far from beautiful, despite her glamorous image today. She is depicted on ancient coins with a long hooked nose and masculine features. Yet she was clearly a very seductive woman. She had an enchantingly musical voice and exuded charisma. She was also highly intelligent.
