“For Rome, who had never condescended to fear any nation or people, did in her time fear two human beings; one was Hannibal, and the other was a woman.”

This is an artwork I did for @historical-kitten!

I redrew this design from a vintage 70’s print of “Antony and Cleopatra”. I’ve replaced the three cats with Historical Kitten’s two REAL little buddies!

Antony and Cleopatra

By Jose-Maria de Heredia

Together from the terrace they could see

Egypt bed down beneath a sultry sky;

through the black delta, fatly, massively,

to Saïs or Bubastis, Nile rolled by.

The Roman felt beneath his thick cuirass —

Like captive soldier stilling infant's cry —

On his triumphant bosom swooning lie

Toward him made mad by perfume's conquering charms,

Her form voluptuous in his close embrace.

Turning her pallid head between his arms

Toward him made mad by perfume's conquering charms,

She raised her mouth and crystalline, fond eye;

And o'er her bent, the prince did behold

In her great orbs, starry with dots of gold,

Only a boundless sea where galleys fly.

CLEOPATRA MAKING OFFERINGS TO ISIS

This limestone stele was dedicated to Cleopatra VII Philopator on 2 July 51 BCE by Onnophris, the Greek "president of the association of Isis Snonais."

This association of temples was placed under the protection of a form of the goddess Isis worshiped in Faiyum (Al-Fayyum).

The stele follows the usual conventions: a winged disk surmounts a ritual scene in the upper section, in which the sovereign faces the goddess across an offering table; a dedication is inscribed in the lower section.

Cleopatra is represented as a traditional male pharaoh, wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, and a triangular loincloth.

Two vases are offered to the goddess Isis, who nurses her baby, Horus. The Egyptians had continued to depict their Greek Kings and Queens according to the prescribed Pharaonic models.

The relief's composition and iconography are purely Egyptian, but the text is written in Greek, the language of the conquerors.

On close observation, it appears that the stele has been re-engraved. The thin, straight lines around the edge, drawn to facilitate the correct alignment of the signs, do not coincide with those in the recessed areas containing the inscription. In addition, partially erased signs are still visible on the right edge.

The stele is dated year 1, the first day of the month "epiphi," which Greek scholars translate as 2 July 51 BCE. It was initially erected in honor of one of the Ptolemies, in all likelihood Cleopatra's father, and was re-worked following her accession.

The Greek text is as follows :

ὑπὲρ βασιλίσσης

Κλεοπάτρας θε-

ᾶς Φιλοπάτωρ τό-

πος Σνοναιτια-

κῆς συνόδου

ὧν συναγογὸς

Ὀννῶφρις λεσώνης

(ἔτους) αʹ, Ἐπὶφ αʹ.

On this day in history, August 12th, two thousand and fifty three years ago, Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of Ancient Egypt, committed suicide.

Eleven days previously, her husband Marc Antony had already done the same. The couple had been engaged in a civil war against Octavian, the great nephew of Julius Caesar who had been declared his legal heir. During the final battle in Alexandria, Antony suffered serious desertions among his troops and lost the fight. Upon his return, he falsely heard Cleopatra had killed herself and fell on his sword.

After Antony’s death, Octavian arrived in Egypt and effectively took Cleopatra and her children by Antony prisoner. She had sent her eldest son Caesarion, her only living child with Caesar, away for his own safety. She knew that Octavian planned for her to march in chains behind his chariot during his triumph parade, and would very likely have her killed afterwards. Rather than suffer such humiliations and indignity, she chose to take her own life.

Popular history and mythology leads us to believe that she was killed by inducing an asp to bite her, after having locked herself in her mausoleum with her two handmaidens. However, many modern scholars believe that she instead took a mixture of poisons, since the venom of an asp does not cause a quick or painless death. Octavian and his men found her too late to do anything, Cleopatra was already dead and one handmaiden, Iras, was nearly dead on the floor. The second, Charmian, was straightening the Queen’s diadem. According to legend, one of the men asked if this was well done of her mistress, and she shot back “Very well done, as befitting the descendant of so many noble Kings,“ before collapsing and dying herself.

Upon her death, Octavian honoured Cleopatra’s wish to be buried in her mausoleum at Antony’s side. He took her children with Antony, the twins Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios, along with their younger brother, Ptolemy Philadelphus, to Rome with him as prisoners of sorts. They were fated to march in his triumph parade in their mother’s place, the chains so heavy they could hardly walk. After this they were given to Octavian’s sister Octavia, who had been Antony’s third wife, to look after.

Cleopatra’s son with Caesar, Caesarion, was nominally sole ruler of Egypt after his mother’s death. Eleven days after her suicide, he was found after being lured back to Alxeandria under false pretenses of being allowed to rule in his mother’s place. Octavian ordered his murder, on advice that “Two Caesar were too many.”

With Cleopatra’s death, and Caesarion’s subsequent murder, the rule of the Ptolemaic Dynasty came to an end and Egypt became a mere Roman Province.

[mote-historie]

Hans Makart, The Death of Cleopatra, 1875.

Liechtenstein, The Princely Collection

Hans Makart was a 19th-century Austrian academic history painter, designer, and decorator. He is best known for his influence on Gustav Klimt and other Austrian artists, but in his own era he was considered an important artist himself and a celebrity figure in the high culture of Vienna and attended with almost cult-like adulation.

Makart was the son of a chamberlain at the Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, Austria, born in the former residence of the prince-archbishops of Salzburg, the city in which Mozart had been born. Initially, he received his training in painting at the Vienna Academy between 1850 and 1851 from Johann Fischbach. While in the Academy, German art was under the rule of a classicism, which was entirely intellectual and academic—clear and precise drawing, sculpturesque modelling, and pictorial erudition were esteemed above all. Makart, who was a poor draughtsman, but who had a passionate and sensual love of color, was impatient to escape the routine of art school drawing. For his fortune, he was found by his instructors to be devoid of all talent and forced to leave the Vienna Academy.
