How does Cleopatra look like?

Question

How does Cleopatra look like? Where is her body? And what happened to her first son and the others 3 children?
Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Cleopatra was 17 or 18 when she became the queen of Egypt. She was far from beautiful, despite her glamorous image today. She is depicted on ancient coins with a long hooked nose and masculine features. Yet she was clearly a very seductive woman. She had an enchantingly musical voice and exuded charisma. She was also highly intelligent. She spoke nine languages (she was the first Ptolemy pharaoh who could actually speak Egyptian!) and proved to be a shrewd politician.
Soon after their victory Cleopatra and Caesar enjoyed a leisurely two-month cruise on the Nile. The Roman historian Suetonius wrote that they would have sailed all the way to Ethiopia if Caesar's troops had agreed to follow him. Cleopatra may have become pregnant at this time. She later gave birth to a son, Ptolemy XV, called Caesarion or "Little Caesar." It has been suggested that Caesar wasn't really Caesarion's father -- despite his promiscuity, Caesar had only one other child - but Caesarion strongly resembled Caesar, and Caesar acknowledged Caesarion as his son.Antony said goodbye to Cleopatra, they were lovers, and returned to his duties as a ruler of the Roman empire. Six months later Cleopatra gave birth to twins, Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios.Cleopatra was found dead.Two pricks were found on Cleopatra's arm, and it was believed that she had allowed herself to be bitten by an asp (a kind of poisonous snake) that was smuggled in with the figs. As she had wished, she was buried beside Antony.

Cleopatra was the last pharaoh; after her death Egypt became a Roman province. Because Caesarion was Julius Caesar's son and might pose a threat to Octavian's power, Octavian had the boy strangled by his tutor. Cleopatra's other children were sent to Rome to be raised by Octavia. Cleopatra Selene married King Juba II of Mauretania and had two children, Ptolemy and Drusilla. No one knows what happened to Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphus.

How To Look Like Cleopatra

Answer 3

Cleopatra was always "taught" to be beautiful, but there is new evidence that she may have been just homely. Who can really say? Any artifacts that show her would have been created by the artisans of her time, and of course, because she was "pharoah" they would be idealized. As to her children, Caesarion was captured and executed, the three children of Cleopatra with Antony were spared and taken back to Rome where they were reared by Antony's wife, Octavia.

Answer 4

Uh Kate O.... besides phrasing your question wrong, it should be WHAT does Cleopata look like, not HOW does Cleopatra look like.... You do understand that Cleopatra lived before the camera and photography was invented? The best you could hope for would be an artist's conception of what she looked like and not an actual image of her.

Answer 5

Newspapers reported this week finding coins minted at the time in excellent condition showing faces of both Mark Antony and Cleopatra - and they are not flattering!!!!

Answer 6

a recent coin discover made her look very ugly!! but i doubt coinmakers those days could get an accurate picture...i think she must of been very beatiful as egyptian women nowadays are very beatifull...i imagine she had black or brunette hair a tanned face and brown eyes.

Answer 7

She probably looks a lot like a skeleton these days, if the bones are still intact.
