Dude, you're telling me that in order to write history I must speak of Trump's failures and some other nonsense. That's History to you? LOL. My post was about Julius Ceasar, Cleopatra and Ancient Rome. And it was for a challenge. You make absolutely no sense. Please, look up the definition to "constructive criticism", for you have shown none of it. Please, cease and desist from writing back.

Bad manners, my man. It's not a good idea to address someone who you don't know personally and tell them what to do. .

Besides, your proposition is not a good one. If I write about history, I have to talk about current events? You can't possibly be serious.

I always enjoy ideas about Cleopatra and the idea that she and her lover plotted to kill Caesar and then commit suicide together…

makes perfect sense, though I think the idea of suicide seems weak, it does seem that she stirred enough hatred, anger, and jealousy to last for centuries. I would always want to read this myself bc I’m never easily bored; nor can forget that many an episode including an 👽, can make me fresh-eyed and curious. But my imagination drifts beyond what facts are here.

There’s wide-appeal in the subject… I think anyone pretending to know everything that happened is foolish. We’ll never know ! Just as we can’t know Cleopatra’s heart: She was a world-renown seductress!

One can say she was the ultimate man-eater. When Antony lost that decisive battle against Octavian in Actium, she sneaked out and returned to Egypt with 60 ships! Antony followed her, abandoning his still fighting troops, which obviously surrendered not long after. Then, when Octavian conquered Egypt, she tried to save her skin by trying to seduce him but it didn't work out, so she killed herself rather than live under a Roman general's rules. It was an amazing story.
