Before telling the story of Cleopatra and the Roman Empire, it is necessary to first look at the Roman before the Roman Empire. Rome was not built in a day, but the establishment of Rome has a direct relationship with Cleopatra.
This early Roman calendar lasted nearly 800 years and was divided into two parts, the kingdom, and the republic, and they were collectively referred to as ancient Rome. When a generation of heroes Caesar came to the world, ancient Rome was a big country that crossed the Eurasian continent and dominated the Mediterranean.
Egypt is attached to the wings of this superpower, and it is known as "the ally of Rome." Ancient Egypt and modern Egypt are actually two different things. The ruler is Greek. It was the descendant of Ptolemy, the history of Alexander the Great, and the history of the Ptolemy dynasty. In other words, the Egyptian royal family is actually a Greek, such as Cleopatra, there is a Greek-sounding name: Cleopatra.
In 58 BC, Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII, was exiled by his people and fled to Rome. Pompey later escorted him back to the country.
Pompey was an outstanding military commander of ancient Rome at that time. When he was 17 years old, he joined the army with the army and was extremely brave. It happened that when he came across the ancient Romans, he was ruined with a sword in successive civil strife. He conquered many countries along the Mediterranean coast, but he did not start with Egypt.
Pompey’s fourth wife is Yulia, the daughter of Caesar. Caesar wants to marry a little girl to an old man. Of course, it is also based on political marriage, not to talk about age, not to talk about love. In order to deal with the vested interests of the Senate, Caesar privately formed an alliance with the military commander Pompey and the wealthy Krassu, known as the "top three giants." Krassuben is the gold lord of Caesar. The relationship is extraordinary and there is no need to spend more time. Pompey is a general, and Caesar needs considerable energy to draw.
Unexpectedly, Wufu Pompey is a kind of love. After marriage, he really lived the life of a man at home. He did not take the logic of political marriage seriously. He even once asked Caesar to worry that the giant is also depressed. Some are too much.
The good times did not last long. First, Krassu’s eyes were on Caesar’s and Pompey’s military merits. He had to bring troops to fight a country named Patia, and he was defeated. Then Yulia died because of dystocia. Pompey, who lost her beloved wife, suddenly "awakened" and felt that Caesar seemed to have ambiguousness that he was not prepared to take advantage of the world. He turned to the aristocrats of the Senate and stood up. civil war.
The end of the civil war was that Caesar won, Pompey fled, and he could have won a life, but he did not, because he had escaped the wrong place - Egypt.
At this time, it was not the Ptolemy XII that ruled Egypt, but his descendants—sister and brother, the sister is Cleopatra, and the younger brother is Ptolemy XIII. According to the laws of this place, the brothers and sisters still have to get married. However, they did not become husband and wife, but the swordsmen opposed each other and started fighting for the throne.
Pompey was killed. The perpetrator was not Cleopatra, she was expelled from outside the city, but a group of powers who supported his brother. These guys think that they can do this, but they can please Caesar. Unsurprisingly, the most hated thing in Caesar's life is the foreigners who dare to kill the Romans, not to mention the son-in-law who they used to be.
But Caesar will never vent his inner anger in a superficial way. After arriving at the capital city of Alexandria at the time, Caesar was only a farce in the middle of the mediation of his brothers and sisters, let them follow the father's will, continue to rule the two, but the specific terms are obviously biased towards Cleopatra.
Then, the plots of the good things of the later generations were born, such as the enchanting Cleopatra, which made a strong slave wrapped up in a quilt, secretly sent to Caesar's room, and so on. This kind of cranky thinking has one thing in common, that is, men like Caesar will be confused by women.
They don't know how many of Caesar's mistresses there are. Caesar is a good woman, but she will never delay her business because of her color.
Cleopatra knows this well. Even though she has the beauty of a country, but by beauty, it is not enough to let Caesar stand on her side. Therefore, the two sides must have a private political transaction, such as the removal of those who killed Pompey by the hands of Cleopatra.
These two people are arrogant, and they can guess in the future, but the people at that time can hardly sit down. The guy who killed Pompey quickly launched a mutiny. As a result, Caesar was naturally smashed and sent all the power. After giving Cleopatra. Perhaps at this time, the two really have some intimate relationship in the common battle.
Since then, Caesar and Cleopatra have publicly played the role of a lover and spent two months in Egypt. The 52-year-old hero and the 21-year-old queen, looking for the source of the Nile River, traveled by boat and enjoyed themselves. Later, Caesar left her and continued his journey.
However, Caesar did not forget her. After a year, Cleopatra received the city of Rome, and the treatment specifications were very high. At this time Caesar was the right person to the world, and many people thought that he would become a dictator. As a result, Caesar was soon assassinated, leaving Cleopatra and a young son named Caesar Lyon, who is said to be Caesar's bones.
