Cleopatra VIIRug Story – Cleopatra objectified through being wrapped in a rug and given to Caesar
- Cleopatra decided to be given – attempting to seduce / exert power
- Societal views – women objectified – normality
- Cleopatra seducing an older man for power
- Seducing many men – married two brothers for power of Egypt
- Extremely oversexualising herself
- Rug is a mistranslation – actually hid inside a large sack for tying up bed cloths
- Egyptian women wore little clothing due to the heat – slave women known for walking
around naked
- Snuck into the palace due to being exiled during the civil war, would’ve been executed if
caught with Caesar
- Rather than fall under Octavian's domination, Cleopatra died by suicide on August 12, 30 B.C.,
possibly by means of an asp, a poisonous Egyptian serpent and symbol of divine royalty.
Octavian then executed her son Caesarion, annexed Egypt into the Roman Empire, and used
Cleopatra's treasure to pay off his veterans.
- Cleopatra death is controlled – powerful, doesn’t want to fall under the control of a man.
