The Assassination of Cleopatra

Alexander sends an assassin. It's a couple of probably weeks to get to Asia Minor. And we are left wondering how the assassination happened. They did use poison, they did stuff like that. But this sounds like one of those traditional sort of man-to-man hits back before guns were around knives were very popular. So it would be easy to imagine an analyst who was probably in his 60s at this time, goes out to greet the Macadonian messenger. Maybe some kind of an embrace and then a knife just in the right place.
