Product Information

Cleopatra knew her days were numbered, and she refused to go out quietly, so she came up with a dark plan. There are conflicting reports of what happened next, but one thing is for certain: Cleopatra was determined to die by her own hand. Oh, and she was also determined that Mark Antony know about it. Like any good Egyptian ruler, a luxurious tomb was already waiting for her.

Comments: 19 Kudos: 84 Bookmarks: 10 Hits: 1,889 Cleopatra’s arrival in Rome with her lover, Caesar, caused quite a stir. In addition to the affair setting tongues wagging, Cleopatra became a fashion and beauty icon amongst Roman women. She wore the hairstyle of her Greek ancestors, with her hair braided into a bun. Upon her arrival, this hairstyle was adopted by Roman women along with Cleopatra’s makeup and signature pearl jewelry. Cleopatra and Mark Antony had three sons together. First came twins named Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios (that’s right, twins named Sun and Moon). But it gets even weirder. They had another son they named Ptolemy Philadelphus. Yes, that's Ptolemy the brother-lover. Named after his mother, I guess.Similarly, when the audience is given Cleopatra as an innocent sort of nymphet, they can shift the accountability for their own sexual desire to her, for not being worldly enough to know how to wield and control her female sexuality. Thus Pascal’s Cleopatra is more accessible than any other to both the audience as well as the other male characters in his film. Power grabs and murder plots were as much a Ptolemaic tradition as family marriage, and Cleopatra and her brothers and sisters were no different. Her first sibling-husband, Ptolemy XIII, ran her out of Egypt after she tried to take sole possession of the throne, and the pair later faced off in a civil war. Cleopatra regained the upper hand by teaming with Julius Caesar, and Ptolemy drowned in the Nile River after being defeated in battle. Following the war, Cleopatra remarried to her younger brother Ptolemy XIV, but she is believed to have had him murdered in a bid to make her son her co-ruler. In 41 B.C., she also engineered the execution of her sister, Arsinoe, who she considered a rival to the throne. 5. Cleopatra knew how to make an entrance. Caesar was already married and had children, but Cleopatra asked him to make their son Caesarian his heir and successor. His reaction was utterly heartless. He refused Cleopatra, and to add insult to injury, he named his grand-nephew Octavian—who ruled under the name Augustus—as his successor instead. Cleopatra wasn’t about to give up her throne that easily, so after a coup installed her brother as ruler, she drummed up mercenaries, formed an army, and fought against her brother’s army at Pelusium. While she gave them a good fight, she ultimately lost the battle. Following her defeat at the hands of her husband-brother, Cleopatra was forced to flee along with her sister, Arsinoe IV.

Like many royal houses, members of the Ptolemaic dynasty often married within the family to preserve the purity of their bloodline. More than a dozen of Cleopatra’s ancestors tied the knot with cousins or siblings, and it’s likely that her own parents were brother and sister. In keeping with this custom, Cleopatra eventually married both of her adolescent brothers, each of whom served as her ceremonial spouse and co-regent at different times during her reign. 3. Cleopatra’s beauty wasn’t her biggest asset. As we mentioned earlier, while in Egypt, Cleopatra had fancied herself the reincarnation of the Greek goddess Isis. After leaving Egypt for Rome, she allied herself with Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Going along with her shenanigans, Caesar commissioned a gold statue of Cleopatra which was erected in the temple of Venus in Rome. Much of the ancient capital is now underwater, and attempts to locate a tomb there have also proved fruitless. Of course, we don't all have Hollywood budgets. No one has to layer themselves in pounds of gold like Elizabeth Taylor to put together sexy Cleopatra costumes. With flowing robes and unique cuts, there are styles that will flatter every body type and make anyone feel like a queen.By portraying Cleopatra in this way, Pascal gives the audience of Caesar and Cleopatra access to guileless, plausible deniability. She is alluring, but not really! She may seem sexual, but she doesn’t mean it! One cannot deny the power that this gives both Caesar and the viewers over Cleopatra. When she is presented as an ignorant child, Caesar can control the way that she rules her kingdom and herself. What if the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures did come to collect the clones as promised, preparing them to be super soldiers to overtake world governments. To them, the clones aren't teenagers just trying to make through high school, they are tools for them to use and expend when necessary, and the Board will train them as such.

This caused a massive scandal, not only because of its heinous nature, but also because it was a gross violation of temple rules.
