Death of Antony and Cleopatra

Cassius Dio Roman History Book 51 Chapter 13. 10 Aug 30BC. 5. She [Cleopatra VII Philopator 69BC 30BC (age 39)] gave orders to Epaphroditus, so that under the pretext of taking him away, she could have something else cleared from her path, and thus she attended to the task. After putting on her most splendid clothing, arranging herself in the most becoming manner, and assuming her entire royal appearance, she died.

5. Ἐπαφροδίτῳ σεσημασμένον, ὅπως προφάσει τῆς ἀποκομιδῆς αὐτοῦ ὡς καὶ ἄλλο τι ἔχοντος ἐκποδών οἱ γένηται, δοῦσα ἔργου εἴχετο. τήν τε γὰρ ἐσθῆτα τὴν περικαλλεστάτην ἐνδῦσα, καὶ ἑαυτὴν εὐπρεπέστατα εὐθετήσασα, τό τε σχῆμα τὸ βασιλικὸν πᾶν ἀναλαβοῦσα, ἀπέθανε.

Cassius Dio Roman History Book 51 Chapter 14. 10 Aug 30BC. 1. And no one knows clearly by what means she [Cleopatra VII Philopator 69BC 30BC (age 39)] was destroyed: for only small punctures were found around her arm: some say that an asp was brought to her in a water jar or even in some flowers.

1. καὶ τὸ μὲν σαφὲς οὐδεὶς οἶδεν ᾧ τρόπῳ διεφθάρη: κεντήματα γὰρ λεπτὰ περὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς μόνα εὑρέθη: λέγουσι δὲ οἱ μὲν ὅτι ἀσπίδα ἐν ὑδρίᾳ ἢ καὶ ἐν ἄνθεσί τισιν ἐσκομισθεῖσάν οἱ.
