Not quote from contemporaries.

Roman writer at the time said quite clearly that Cleopatra wasnt so beautiful,and it wa her wit,charm,and personality that men found so alluring.

They also nicknamed her "the gaper" because of something she did that men really like...

According to Stacy Schiff majnificent biojraphy, (which I highly recommend),
Cleopatra was far more intellijent than beautiful.

Who says thi? Do you take movie trailers and press release a history?
Account closest to the time say that she wasnt particularly beautiful. Plutarch (over 100 year later, ye, but preserve evidence including family reminiscences from the time) say, Her own beauty, so we are told, wa not of that incomparable kind which instantly captivate the beholder. But the charm of her presence wa irresistible, and there wa an attraction in her person and her talk, together with a peculiar force of character that pervaded her every word and action, and laid all who associated with her under its spell.

>"Dont know what to believe"

It doesnt matter, you are not in her league.

Seriously attitude to beauty vary internationally and through the age tastes have changed, even genders do not necessarily agree on beauty.


If she had been a man would his beauty have been an issue? I it just because she was a powerful woman that her beauty or not makes the slightest difference to the facts that are known about her?

how the hell would we know, many of these legends are just based on picture on vases, some statue and things like that.

No one has ever even found her body

A the saying goe, "Power is an aphrodisiac." Im sure that many people considered her more beautiful than they would have considered an impoverished peasant who looked exactly like her....

She was NO extraordinary beauty, but not UGLY either--Likely of pleasant "Normal" appearance---Which could be enhanced with makeup-----And the "Beautification " effect of her political POWER, which like a few beers can "enhance" a womans attractiveness significantly

Depend on who was looking at her and why .
She wa not a godness but some thought she was pretty close to one back in those day But the men who did fall in love with her did so for greed or money or power.She was a hard woman but mighty as well.
She was a Queen and the men who wanted to take control of land people and a country would seek her out and try to do just that.
To these men she wa a beauty either by wealth or by looks either way she had a few powerful men in her life. These men wanted her for the control of her wealth, kingdom. leadership and her soliders to fight the battle that would come about. these 2 men were Caesar and Marc Antony
