Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator lived from January 69 BC – 30 BC. She was a Hellenistic co-ruler of Egypt with her father, and after that with her brothers and husbands. Later became the sole and great ruler of Egypt. She was a Pharaoh and she had a liaison with Julius Caesar to get her grip on the throne. However Caesar was assassinated and she then consummated with Mark Antony and had twins. She had four children, one by Caesar and three by Antony. However her alignment with her brothers produced no children. It is said they were never consummated because they were not close. After her death the end of the Hellenistic Era began.
