Cleopatra no llegó al trono envuelta en perfumes y seducciones, como tanto le gusta repetir al cine.
Llegó después de una guerra familiar despiadada.
En la dinastía ptolemaica el poder no se heredaba: se arrancaba.
Y su enemiga más peligrosa no fue Roma, sino su propia hermana, Arsínoe IV.Cuando murió Ptolomeo XII en el 51 a.C., el palacio de Alejandría se convirtió en un campo de batalla.
Cleopatra fue expulsada.
Arsínoe creyó haber ganado.
Y entonces apareció Julio César, dispuesto a decidir quién gobernaría Egipto.Durante la guerra de Alejandría ocurrió algo que casi nunca se cuenta: Arsínoe fue proclamada reina por el ejército rebelde.
Por un momento, Cleopatra perdió.
No era un simple conflicto doméstico; era una guerra civil abierta, con sangre, traiciones y ciudades incendiadas.La suerte cambió.
Arsínoe cayó prisionera y fue llevada a Roma para desfilar en el triunfo de César.
Incluso el pueblo romano, acostumbrado a la violencia, sintió lástima al ver a una princesa adolescente encadenada.
César la perdonó y la envió al exilio.
Cleopatra no olvidó ese gesto.
Ni lo perdonó.Años después, ya aliada con Marco Antonio, Cleopatra decidió cerrar el capítulo.
Arsínoe se había refugiado en el Templo de Artemisa, en Éfeso, un lugar sagrado donde nadie debía ser tocado.
Eso no importó.
Cleopatra ordenó su ejecución.
Antonio cumplió la orden.
El asilo fue violado.
No hubo refugio. No hubo perdón.Fue un acto brutal incluso para los estándares de la época.
Pero también un mensaje claro: no quedaría ningún reclamo legítimo al trono de Egipto.
Ni siquiera si venía de su propia sangre.Lo irónico es que durante siglos se ha reducido a Cleopatra a una caricatura: la seductora, la amante de romanos.
Y se ha borrado a la verdadera Cleopatra, la que sobrevivió a una dinastía donde los hermanos se eliminaban entre sí para reinar.Arsínoe no fue una villana secundaria.
Fue una reina por un instante.
Y su muerte selló el destino de Egipto.El reinado de Cleopatra fue brillante, sí.
Legendario también.
Pero se construyó sobre una verdad incómoda: para sobrevivir, tuvo que destruir a su propia familia.▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

The Misunderstood #RomanEmpress Who Willed Her Way to the Top
A fresh view of #GallaPlacidia, who married a barbarian and ruled when the world power fell into chaos
by Romy Blümel, January/February 2023
Excerpt: "It was around midnight that the cataclysm began. #Placidia would have heard distant sounds of Gothic horns and growing pandemonium around the Salarian Gate in the city’s northwest; not long afterward, flames could be seen rising from the nearby Gardens of Sallust.
"The Goths had breached the walls. The British-born monk Pelagius, who was also trapped in Rome that same night, used language that echoed the biblical vision of Judgment Day to convey the horror of the moment: 'Rome, the mistress of the world, shivered, crushed with fear, at the sound of the blaring trumpets and the howling of the Goths.'
"St. Jerome, when he heard the dreadful news from Roman refugees, captured the sense of shock: 'It is the end of the world!' he wrote. 'Words fail me; sobs prevent me from speaking. The city that once subjugated the world has been subjugated in its turn!'
"For Romans, it was the beginning of the end. But for Placidia, it was just one more twist in an astonishing life saga that could have inspired a subplot of 'Game of Thrones.' After the sack, the pampered and beautiful princess would be taken from her gilded palace as a prisoner of the Visigoths. Four years later, Placidia shocked Romans by marrying one of her captors. Then, by age 26, she was back in Italy, re-inventing herself to rule as the last empress of the Western Roman Empire.
"And yet, she has been treated mercilessly by historians, who have either vilified or ignored her for most of the last 1,500 years. This has left her today all but forgotten, even though the final decades of the Western world’s most enduring empire cannot be understood without her.
#Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Catherine the Great — to the roster of history’s unfairly maligned women leaders must be added the name of #GallaPlacidiaAugusta.Although her name in Latin means
'placidity' or 'peace,' Placidia’s life was anything but; she experienced more adventures than Marie Antoinette and Amelia Earhart combined. Perhaps no other figure, male or female, enjoyed such an intimate view of the Western Roman Empire’s operatic death throes or influenced events for such a prolonged period. But the attacks on her reputation began not long after her death, with authors like Cassiodorus denouncing her rule as the nadir of Rome’s fortunes. Only in recent years have scholars gone back to read the contemporary sources with more objectivity, revealing Placidia as a far more sympathetic figure, a strong-willed leader with radical ideas on how to save the crumbling empire."It’s part of a general reassessment of her era, known as late antiquity, once dismissed as a gloomy saga of 'decline and fall' to the Middle Ages, including a fresh look at so-called #barbarians, who were far more sophisticated than Romans alleged.
" 'Placidia had an amazingly adventurous life,' explained Paola Novara, a scholar at the National Museum of Ravenna, who has written about Placidia’s legacy, including her influence on art and architecture throughout Europe. 'She was a hostage for years. She was married twice, to a Gothic king, then to Rome’s most powerful general. She had one child who died, another who became emperor. She must have been a very strong and powerful character. But there has long been a negative image of Placidia,' she continued. 'She was not a bad sovereign. She was brave and capable. In fact, Placidia was the last significant ruler of the Western Roman Empire. She managed it for 25 years!' "

Not surprising...!
How #Patriarchy Undermined the #RomanRepublic
by Douglas Boin, Nov 24, 2025 2:00 PM
Excerpt: "The men of the republic, who called themselves their society’s 'Chosen Fathers,' enforced this two-tiered society through strict #VotingLaws and limits on women’s #autonomy. Heavily manipulated voting districts ensured that only the voices of the senatorial elite, Rome’s self-proclaimed optimates, or 'best men,' dominated, not progressive champions, freed slaves, or newly-enfranchised citizens. No woman could run for higher office. Women could neither sit on juries, nor exercise their vote.
" 'As soon as women become the equals of men,' the statesman and senator Cato the Elder said in 212 B.C., 'they will have become our masters.'
"Yet as Rome’s republic expanded beyond the capital city, beyond Italy, and gradually acquired its Mediterranean empire, stories of a different sort of woman reset women’s expectations at home. In the eastern Mediterranean, highly educated woman philosophers, avant-garde poets, and above all, the fearless Greek-speaking queens of Egypt, including #Cleopatra, held sway. Inspired by these role models across #Europe, #Africa, and #Asia, #RomanWoman began to challenge the republic’s inequities and ideologies and claim their voices in the male-dominated republic.
"Grandmothers and mothers taught their daughters to read and cultivate their intellectual talents. An educated girl, the new wave of educators argued, knew how to assert herself against a man who 'swaggers through the city acting like a tyrant.' Cato’s quotation comes from a pivotal moment when women and their allies poured into the streets to demand the repeal of a war-time-era tax on their savings. Other women were political leaders who earned the scorn of their contemporaries. Some were erased or forgotten. In one case, the life of an upper-class woman and contemporary of Julius Caesar, Clodia, saw her reputation destroyed by false claims of harlotry, home-wrecking, and husband-killing.
"#Clodia, an unapologetic champion for expanded voting rights for the enfranchised men of Italy, bravely went before an all-male jury in the center of the Roman Forum in April 56 B.C., as the prosecution’s star witness to testify against her day’s runway, endemic corruption. Instead of defending his client from the charges, however, the leading defense attorney, Marcus Tullius Cicero, turned the case into a referendum on Clodia’s character. Transforming Clodia into the trial’s villain, the speech, the Pro Caelio, outlasted Rome’s fall. It has been taught in high school and college classrooms for two millennia as a masterclass of rhetoric, from which countless men in business, law, and politics have learned to emulate Cicero’s #misogyny.
"Trailblazing women like Clodia have always, in the historian’s shorthand, been called “ahead of their time.” But history deserves to be told from another point of view: by pointing out the parade of men who have stubbornly and perennially thwarted progress. Rome’s republic might have survived a bit longer had its own people listened to, not silenced, its women."Read more:

My favourite 8-year-old has decided to try to learn #German, so I've given him my cherished and tattered copy of Asterix und Kleopatra (I added an English translation). There's nothing like a really silly comic book to inspire language learning (along with a dose of fractured history). #comic #Asterix #Cleopatra #Kleopatra

YouTuber #RebalD has some important points about the #Netflix "documentary" #QueenCleopatra I can agree with: https://youtu.be/jwv_cIm2RRY
Two of his points were not clear to me until now:
1. Since #Cleopatra belonged to a dynasty of #Macedonian-#Greek origin, she was not only not Black, but also a quasi-#colonial ruler.
2. Because Egyptian history is reinterpreted by outsiders in a way that denies contemporary Egyptians part of their identity, it is #CulturalAppropriation.

The story of Cleopatra’s Needle journey to Britain
The well-known monument to Capt. James Cook was erected in 1827. The design of an obelisk has led some to speculate a masonic connection.
But the more probable reasoning was that obelisks were simply in vogue. In that year, Dublin had begun its erection of the Wellington Monument in Phoenix Park t ...
