Pictures of Cleopatra

The following pictures of Cleopatra come from Clipart.com. They show Cleopatra as portrayed in the popular imagination as well as some carvings from ancient Egypt. The first picture shows the heads of the Ptolemies, the Macedonian rulers of Egypt after Alexander the Great. Ptolemy had been a general and possibly close relative of Alexander the Great. After Alexander's death, his empire was split, and Ptolemy won control of Egypt. As rulers, the Ptolemies adopted Egyptian customs, including the marriage between royal brothers and sisters. Cleopatra was the last of the ruling Ptolemies.
