Cleopatra is the queen of ancient Egypt, and one of the most famous rulers in history. The love story between her and the Roman leader Julius Caesar, who turned into a passionate lover, became public. He fell captive to her beauty, and forgot about Rome and its wars.
This love story changed the course of the history of both Rome and Egypt, and historical events were subjected to exaggerations and distortions that reached the point of legend, and Cleopatra's life inspired a number of writers to write it in their books, films, and plays, the most famous of whom is Shakespeare.
