She Was The Last Active Pharaoh Of Egypt

The Hellenistic period in Mediterranean history begins with Alexander III of Macedon's (often known as Alexander the Great) death in 323 BC. After Alexander's death, Ptolemy (Ptolemy I Soter), a Macedonian who was among Alexander's high-ranking generals during his conquest of Egypt in 332 BC, was named as the satrap of Egypt. This was the start of the Ptolemaic dynasty's 300-year reign over Egypt. The Egyptians eventually recognised the Ptolemaic dynasty as the successors to independent Egypt's pharaohs.

Cleopatra was the last active ruler of Egypt's Ptolemaic Kingdom, rising to the throne after her father Ptolemy XII Auletes died in 51 B.C. Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51-47 BC) and Ptolemy XIV (47-44 BC) were Cleopatra's younger siblings, and then her son Ptolemy XV Caesarion (44-30 BC). She possessed a lot of political power because she was the most powerful ruler in all three of her co-regencies, making her the last active Pharaoh of Egypt. With the establishment of the Roman Empire in Egypt after the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt came to an end with her death.
