My Opinion on Cleopatra • She is a good example of perseverance because she did not give up her plans with Julius Caesar after he died. • She was intelligent because in a war she made a battle strategy of putting troops on water and land and it worked. • She was bilingual because she understood Greek, Latin, Egyptian and other languages. • Cleopatra was confident because she was fine talking to Rome’s most powerful men. • Finally she was quick-thinking because of how fast she solved her problems.
