    • Trivia
      The death of Cleopatra VII, the last ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, occurred on either 10 or 12 August, 30 BC, in Alexandria, when she was 39 years old.
    • Goofs
      A motivation for the producer was to emphasize the high points of black history, hence the casting choice. The fact is that Cleopatra and her ancestors in the Ptolemaic dynasty were of Greek heritage. Alexander the Great invaded Egypt in 325 B.C.E., with Ptolemy I beginning his rule in 305 B.C.E.

      Octavian: [surprised] Wow, Mark! I didn't...

      Mark Antony: [interjects] Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!

      Octavian: [laughs] Good gracious, Mark, I was proposing...

      Mark Antony: Yes!

      Octavian: [still shocked] But, Mark, I...

      Mark Antony: [yells in anger] Keep my wife's name out your... . FUCKING... MOUTH!

    Riddled with historic errors and incorrect timelines
    It is hard to take this "documentary" seriously when there are errors is in just about every scene. Ancient Egypt existed for three and a half millennia, and the Ptolemaic period of Greek control and its involvement in Roman policies, especially the Roman civil wars is a very specific period. For example no Egyptian was spoken at the court, Greek was spoken.

    But getting costumes wrong, getting basic timelines of battles (like Actium) wrong, placing Cleopatra at events we know she was not present at, mixing up things done by Anthony with those done by Octavian and an unending series of errors just makes this impossible to watch. It is clear no experts, or even anyone with a basic knowledge of the history of the time and place was involved, or if they were, their advise was inverted.

    The dialogue is also laughably childish s is the acting.
