Recognize the figure of a woman who lived the heyday of roman and egypt namely cleopatra,
Born in 69 BC, Cleopatra is the third son of the Egyptian Auletic king who holds Ptolemy XII.
This king is known as the Flute Man. To gain support in holding his reign, Ptolemy must often pace to Rome, perhaps even accompanied by Cleopatra when he was 12 years old.
Basic loan sharks, the Romans asked to pay 10,000 talents in return for services. That amount is twice the Egyptian state budget.
Ptolemy did not have much choice. What else is the country left behind is facing many problems.
The eldest Tryphaena, seize power and appear to be queen. Feeling the same rights, Berenice the younger brother, the heart to kill his brother to get on the throne.
Some time later, Ptolemy came home and with the help of Rome killed his own son in order to regain power.
Supposedly, after the death of Ptolemy XII in 51 BC, the kingdom was inherited to Cleopatra (18) who was then married to Ptolemy XIII who was none other than his own brother.
That time Egypt failed to harvest and hit by a long drought. But Pothinus, the palace eunuch, came to power.
Claimed to be the guardian of Ptolemy XIII who was then only 12 years old, he drove Cleopatra out of the palace fortress.
At the same time, in Rome there was a struggle for influence among the members of the triumvirate - Caesar, Pompei, and Crassus - who took office.
In the upheaval, Caesar managed to beat back Pompei soldiers who then fled to Egypt.
Not wanting his country to be used as a hideout, the Egyptians eventually captured Pompeii and turned his head to Caesar who happened to come to Alexandria to collect Ptolemy XII's debt.
This situation is cleverly exploited by Cleopatra. Evidently, it was not difficult for him to conquer Caesar's heart.
Capital of the body of the molecular and his talents seduce, in a short time Caesar captivated and knees.
Plutarch describes how creative and unique Cleo is deliberately wrapping his body with a blanket, to be presented to the front of Caesar like merchandise only. The next story is easy to guess.
After feeling the warmth of the body and Cleo's service in bed, eventually all of her wishes came true. No matter at that Caesar was already bald and bald.
Importantly, Cleopatra regained the royal throne and Egypt did not need to pay the debt to Rome.
How easy Cleo charming and "subdued" the Roman emperor is proof, as a woman he is very good at facing the opposite sex. Moreover they will be utilized.
This advantage is reinforced by the opinion of the 2nd century Greek historian Dio Cassius who wrote that Cleo "... is a beautifully regarded and powerful woman to conquer anyone."
By that effect he also "uses" Caesar to crush the rebellion of a group of Egyptian soldiers who are not satisfied with his government.
History records, the incident of this rebellion could membumihanguskan library state in Alexandria and gave birth to the mystery of the death of Ptolemy XIII in the Nile.
Caesar then married Cleopatra with Ptolemy XIV who was then aged 12 years. This step inevitably strengthens people's expectations. It was true.
The presence of this snotty boy on Cleopatra's side was only used as a veil to "secure" their affair. This is a clever way that Cleo did before he finally wanted to be candid.
Especially not long after Caesar left Egypt, Cleopatra was pregnant. With careful calculation, since Caesar had no children from his legal wife in Rome, Cleopatra named his son Ptolemy Caesar, whom he called Caesarion.
He took the boy to Rome in 46 BC. His arrival in Rome was greeted lively and warm, even in particular Caesar made a golden statue of Cleopatra placed in the Temple of Venus Genetrix.
Unfortunately, Cleopatra had to hold a big disappointment, when in the end Caesar did not choose Caesarion as the heir to the throne, but instead decided Octavian, his brother's grandson.
Cleo's hopeless hopes docked his influence in Rome. In despair he returned to Egypt.
Cleopatra's heartache to Caesar was avenged when Rome was ruled by the next generation of triumvirates; namely Octavian, Lepidus, and Mark Antony. This last name is then successfully "snared" in his arms.
At that time Egypt has managed to prosper, even the richest in the eastern Mediterranean region. That prosperity attracted the interest of Mark Antony came in 41 BC.
His mission was to raise funds to finance the war against the Parthians, a kingdom in the southeast of the Caspian Sea.
The arrival of Anthony to Egypt was warmly welcomed by Cleopatra. A variety of banquets are celebrated.
Both parties signed a bilateral memorandum of understanding (MoU). Cleopatra promised to give material support to Antony in his battle against the Parthians.
Antonius, on the other hand, protected the interests and security of Cleopatra, especially in removing Arsinoe, his overly ambitious brother.
Of course because the MoU did not regulate matters outside state affairs, so if the personal relations of the two perpetrators developed further, no party has the right to ban it.
Evidently, Cleopatra and Antonius soon engage in an affair. Interwoven love both managed to produce three children, a pair of twins, namely Alexander Helios - Cleopatra Selene and Ptolemy Philadelphus.
Clearly, the greatest gift that Cleopatra received was the coronation of himself as Queen of All Kings and Caesarion as King in the King.
