The name of Cleopatra is common io several Queens of Egypt: the one now in question was repudiated by her brother who refused to marry her. She complained to Caesar, by whom she had a son, and he promised to marry her; she afterwards gained the friendship of Mark Antony and gave him the most splendid entertainments. Being forced to flee from the battle of Actium, Cleopatra, after Antonys death, had an interview with Augustus, whom she perhaps also hoped to captivate; but she was then twenty years older than when she first saw Caesar. Her charms did not produce upon the conqueror the effect she expected. Afterwards fearing to see herself led a captive to Rome, and unwilling to serve as a triumph to the Roman Emperor, she determined to bill herself. Having withdrawn into Antonys Mausoleum, she wrote to Augustus, requesting bi tu have her body placed on her husbands Tomb: and then having sent for a basket of figs, in which an aspic was concealed, she made the serpent sting her. Cleopatras death was quick, and, according to Plutarch, one of her two female attendants, named Iras was dead at her feet; the other, who was called Chamison, though unable to support herself, was still arranging the diadem around her head. The painter Domenico Zampieri, in displaying the immense extent of the Egyptian Tombs. has conformed neither to the architecture nor the habits of that nation. But the composition, the expression, and the colouring of this picture constitute it one of the choicest in Lord Whitworths Collection. bas been engraved by E. Smith.
