Cleopatra
Cleopatra ruled over Egypt for almost 3 decades. At the age of 18, she started her reign with her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII. However, she got ran out of the country by his advisers in 49 B.C. She was reinstated with Ptolemy XIV, her other brother, with the help of Caesar. She had a child called Ptolemy Caesar, who is generally thought to be her child with the Roman dictator. Sadly, Ptolemy XIV died soon after Julius Caesar was assassinated. In the end, Cleopatra continued ruling Egypt with her son.

What Cleopatra Really Looked Like
Cleopatra was a highly-educated ruler who knew several languages. It was part of the reason she went on to be the dominant ruler and co-regent. She was also good at seduction and formed alliances with her fellow leaders. 3D artists used sculptures and portraits to recreate her face. Many expected her to look just like Elizabeth Taylor, so her masculine attributes and prominent nose might come as a surprise.
