The last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt was Cleopatra VII, who ruled from 51-30 BCE. Cleopatra is often remembered for her intelligence, political acumen, and tumultuous relationships with Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Her reign witnessed significant political upheaval, and her efforts to sustain Egypt’s independence against growing Roman power were ultimately unsuccessful. After her defeat by Octavian forces, she famously committed suicide, marking the end of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and, consequently, the era of the Pharaohs. Cleopatra remains a prominent historical figure, symbolizing both power and the tragic fate of her dynasty.
