| Cleopatra VII PhilopatorThe ancient sources, particularly the Roman ones, are in general agreement that Cleopatra killed herself by inducing an Egyptian cobra to bite her. The oldest source is Strabo, who was alive at the time of the event, and might even have been in Alexandria. He says that there are two stories: that she applied a toxic ointment, or that she was bitten by an asp on her breast. Several Roman poets, writing within ten years of the event, all mention bites by two asps, as does Florus, a historian, some 150 years later. I am very sorry to announce that due to her inactivity, Cleopatra has been pulled from the game. We are so sorry to see you go since your character represented what I wanted this game to be like, people very widely known as historic characters. Everyone knows who Cleopatra is, but ironically, we hardly knew YOU in this game. Please grab your belongings and leave the Big Brother house immediately. | |
