Cleopatra's story would have been a modern day soap opera. Her life was full of shocking twists and scandals, up until the very end. Many historians agree that Cleopatra killed herself by making one or two asps bite her. Some say that she had a poisonous lotion, but an asp seems to fit her dramatic lifestyle better. Cleopatra was no longer willing to live as a prize for Marc Antony's enemy, so she took her life shortly after seeing him die. A drama queen to the very last day, she went out with a bang!
