#ClassicsTober24 Day 4. Cleopatra Selene

picked by Dr Jane Draycott @drjldraycott Ancient Historian

(40 BCE – c. 5 BCE) Ptolemaic royalty, daughter of Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator and Marcus Antonius (Cleopatra and Marc Antony), twin of Alexander Helios. She was made ruler of Cyrenaica and Libya by her father while still a child, in the Donations of Alexandria in 34BCE. Cleopatra VII possibly expected to marry Cleopatra Selene to her half-brother, Caesarion, the son of her mother and Julius Caesar, whom Marcus Antonius had declared the King of Egypt and True Son of Julius Caesar – snubbing Octavian, whom Julius Caesar had adopted posthumously – and consolidate Roman and Egyptian power in their marriage. Her parents were beaten by Octavian in the Battle of Actium, and then the Battle of Alexandria.

After the suicides of her parents, Cleopatra Selene was brought to Rome with her brother, Alexander Helios, and paraded dressed as the moon and sun, and in chains (probably – other prisoners in similar situations are recorded as being chained), in Octavian’s triumphal parade. They were then raised in the household of Octavia, Octavian’s sister, and Marcus Antonius’ former wife. Cleopatra Selene married Juba II of Numidia in 25BCE. She was thus Queen of Numidia (briefly) until it was once again annexed by Rome, after which Octavian/Augustus conferred on her and her husband the province of Mauretania (25 BCE – 5 BCE), and the kingdom flourished. Cleopatra Selene died at the age of 35, and was placed in the mausoleum she and Juba had built.

You discover a glass in the hallowed mausoleum. An image is engraved on it, depicting a a pale vampire surgeon exploring a messy grotto. The quality of the engraving is laughable.

It's halloween season, and this last tuesday I debuted my new Vnyan world for my streaming setup! Welcome to the Salem Graveyard... Nothing could possibly to wrong here. Design and world creation by me, using unity store assets #Twitch #inkythings

A spooky graveyard scene, with a cheetah standing near the gate holding a glowstick up. There's a gravestone with the words 'HERE LIES dino nuggies'.

A graveyard scene with a cheetah standing in front and center, looking at the viewer. There's a gravestone that reads 'HERE LIES loads of money'. There's a tree in the background that looks spooky with a green, glowing face.

A spooky scene of a graveyard, with a cheetah walking away from the viewer and approaching a gated mausoleum. There is no gravestone with clever sayings on it here, only creepy pumpkins.

Forever Winter's "Elephant Mausoleum" is the central environment of what was originally envisioned as an open world - it's also where the game plays best. There are boltholes and hiding places everywhere, so the glame plays as intended even with the abundant early access jank. youtu.be/XJVyZlM7o3Y
