Strategy
Due to the historical events mentioned below, Cleopatra and Julius Caesar will be less likely to go to war with each other in the game, and each will usually have something nice to say about the other.
Civilopedia Entry
Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemy dynasty of Egypt, and heavily embroiled in the more well known scandals of Rome through her relationship with Julius Caesar, and then later Marc Antony. It was during the lifetime of Cleopatra (and at the hands of her later lover Julius Caesar) that the first burning of the Library of Alexandria occurred, historians will never know the full extent of the knowledge lost that day but in recent years they have been discovering that ancient peoples were aware of steam as a potential power source and other technological advances that would not be seen again for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Cleopatra herself was said to be the first member of the Ptolemy dynasty that had bothered to actually learn to speak Egyptian, rather than using the Latin spoke by Rome itself. She also embraced the local customs, and deities being a well known worshipper of Isis. She was the last effective ruler of the Ptolemy dynasty, and committed suicide after the death of Marc Antony (an event marking the end of her reign, as Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (Caesar's namesake, and successor) moved into and conquered Alexandria).
