Cleopatra is the name given to several historical and mythological figures, most especially:
Cleopatra VII was born in 69 BC in Alexandria, which was then the capital of Egypt.
Cleopatra was afraid to open the door because of the approach of Octavian's army, but she and her two serving women let down ropes from a window and pulled him up.
Two pricks were found on Cleopatra's arm, and it was believed that she had allowed herself to be bitten by an asp (a kind of poisonous snake) that was smuggled in with the figs.
