This is a beautiful portrait that represents the historical event when Cleopatra (69 B.C. – 30 B.C.) makes the faithful decision to take her own life by snake bite, according to popular belief using an Egyptian Cobra (a symbol of divine royalty) on August 12, 30 B.C., which avoided her the humiliation of being paraded as a prisoner in a Roman Triumph that celebrates the military victories of Octavian, who would become Rome’s first Emperor in 27 B.C. and who’s name was changed to Augustus.
Her death and that of her son Caesarion also known as Ptolemy XV brought and end to the Hellenistic period and Ptolemaic rule of Egypt, and was the beginning of the Roman Egypt, which became a province of the Roman Empire.
Anns an dealbh seo tha i na suidhe air beulaibh drape meileabhaid glè mhòr, agus tha blobhsa geal siùbhlach domhainn v-amhach oirre agus vest leathair le strap dearg oirre; timcheall oirre agus air a gàirdean chlì tha seàladh gorm agus air a h-uchd tha aodach pàtran flùr donn òir sgeadaichte; agus tha i cuideachd mar ribean aotrom gorm ceangailte ri cùl a falt.
Air feadh a broilleach tha seudaireachd corp ròpa, air a dhèanamh suas de neamhnaidean geal agus òr; fhad ‘s a tha i na làimh dheis tha bobhla aotrom gorm le làmhan lùbte donn, agus na làimh chlì pìos airgid ann an cumadh clag a tha ceangailte ri ribean bogha dearg, gu bheil i a’ nochdadh deiseil airson a dhol a-steach don bhobhla anns am faodadh an nathair a bhith ann.
