In 3 1 BC, Anthony and Octavian's army fought at Cape Aktium. When the battle was in full swing and Anthony's fleet was frustrated, Cleopatra VII's ship suddenly left the battlefield and sailed back to Egypt. There are different opinions about the reasons so far.
Anthony immediately chased away, leaving the fighting troops completely annihilated. In 30 BC, Octavian attacked Egypt and surrounded Alexandria. Anthony saw the tide recede and he fell on his sword.
Cleopatra VII knew that his death was near, and he had already studied various suicide methods. She hid in the tomb castle, but Octavian caught her. When Octavian visited her prisoner, she tried her best to trick and confuse Octavian, but it didn't work.
Octavian captured Cleopatra VII in order to bring her back to Rome and show her to the public at the triumph ceremony. Cleopatra VII fell into despair after learning about this. The loyal maid gave her a poisonous snake named "Apps" in a fig basket. She grabbed the snake and put it on her chest, ending a legendary and romantic life.
