I don't know if it's her, but it does look like her based on the coins I've seen with her image.

If that bust is of Cleopatra, it’s not at all flattering.

I thought we already knew what Cleo looked like.

Her beauty apparently lied in her personality. I don’t mean that sarcastically. She was just the kind of person that was enjoyable to be around.

I am avid lay follower of the time; certainly no expert. Still, I agree with the person in the article who says it looks Roman to me, not Egyptian

I think her beauty was in her strength. Looks didn’t matter back then, strength and savy was of most importance. Margaret Thatcher wasn’t hot either... lol

Never thought much of Liz as an actress after Black Beauty.
As an adult, I first saw her Saw in Butterfield 8...thought it was a crappy movie. Never thought much of her as Cleopatra either.
