All of these are gorgeous; the 3rd looks like she's ready to kiss some asp! |

Most of these are nice figures for an ancient Egyptian queen. However, Cleopatra was as Greek as they come--descended from the Ptolomeians. |

But as I understand it, she had "gone native". |

I don't think she ‘went native' so much as dressed Egyptian when necessary for politico-religious reasons. The rest of the time she seems to have behaved like any other late Hellenistic ruler, and presumably dressed appropriately in the Greek manner. Plutarch's descriptions of her time with Antonius read as very Greek, which was probably a political requirement when dealing with the Romans. |
