3. Why is this pharaoh famous? What was important about his/her reign? Cleopatra is a famous pharaoh because she was the last pharaoh to rule Egypt.

Why did you marry your brother Ptolemy XIII? 2. How did you feel when Mark Anthony died in your arms? 3. Do you think you were involved in the murder of Caesar the Great?
