Samenvatting
Cleopatra VII Philopator stands as the final reigning monarch of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, holding sway from 51 to 30 BC. As a descendant of Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general, and comrade of Alexander the Great, who laid the foundation for the Ptolemaic dynasty, Cleopatra's lineage echoed the intricate tapestry of Hellenistic rule.
Following her demise, Egypt's destiny intertwined with the Roman Empire, spelling the end of the penultimate Hellenistic kingdom and the era that had endured since Alexander's reign (336–323 BC). Remarkably, Cleopatra distinguished herself as the sole Ptolemaic ruler to master the Egyptian language, even as her primary tongue remained Koine Greek.
Her historical journey began against the backdrop of familial and political strife. Cleopatra's entrance into the political arena unfolded when her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, sought refuge in Rome in 58 BC. An uprising in Egypt allowed Berenice IV, Cleopatra's rival daughter, to ascend the throne during this tumultuous period. Ptolemy's return in 55 BC, backed by Roman military intervention, led to Berenice's demise. Upon Ptolemy's death in 51 BC, Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII embarked on a joint reign, marred by internal discord that escalated into open civil war.
The political landscape further convulsed with the arrival of Julius Caesar on the scene. After Caesar's victory over Pompey in 48 BC, Pompey sought refuge in Egypt, only to be ambushed and executed by Ptolemy XIII. The ensuing power struggle resulted in Cleopatra's encounter with Caesar, sparking a complex web of alliances and conflicts. The Battle of the Nile in 47 BC witnessed the demise of Ptolemy XIII, leaving Cleopatra in a precarious position. Amid these tumultuous events, Cleopatra's half-sister Arsinoe IV faced exile for her involvement in the siege.
