Cleopatra VII Philopator was the last ruler of an independent Egypt and one of the most important women of the ancient world.

In addition to being a brilliant and cunning ruler in her own right, she was also famously associated with two of the most powerful men in the late Roman Republic.

Yet was her involvement with these men that ultimately led to the downfall of her and of Egypt.
