AE061   “Cleopatra”

          Cleopatra, the Queen of the Nile and the lover of Mark Antony.  She was also the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic line of Egyptian rulers.  These were all descended from Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great’s generals.

          Her first Roman paramour was Julius Caesar himself and by him she had a son Caesarion.  After Caesar’s assassination she aligned herself with Mark Antony.  Following Antony’s suicide she also killed herself.

          The K&C figure draws on several influences for its design most notably, the 1963 “Cleopatra” movie.
