Accepted Answer

Cleopatra, by Egyptian custom, married her brother Ptolemy XIII (when both were teenagers) and later her second brother Ptolemy XIV. Both marriages were political; she actually ruled alone. Her real relationships with Caesar and Antony were not Egyptian.

Cleopatra trouwde volgens Egyptische gewoonte met haar broer Ptolemaeus XIII (toen ze beiden tieners waren) en later met haar tweede broer Ptolemaeus XIV. Beide huwelijken waren politiek; ze regeerde feitelijk alleen. Haar échte relaties met Caesar en Antonius waren niet-Egyptisch.
