The death of Cleopatra, the last reigning ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, occurred on August 12, 30 BC in Alexandria, when she was 39 years old.
 According to a popular belief, introduced by Plutarch, Cleopatra committed suicide by an asp bite.
 In other versions Cleopatra either poisoned herself by a toxic ointment or was murdered.
 The exact date of Cleopatra's death was unknown for a long time, since there is no surviving record of even the approximate date.
 Theodore Cressy Skeat deduced that her death occurred on August 12, 30 BC on the basis of contemporary records of fixed events.
 Cleopatra's death effectively ended the war between Octavian and Mark Antony, where Cleopatra aligned herself with Antony.
The Final War of the Roman Republic, also known as Antony's Civil War or The War between Antony and Octavian, was the last of the Roman civil wars of the republic, fought between Mark Antony (assisted by Cleopatra) and Octavian.
 After the Roman Senate declared war on the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, Antony, her lover and ally, betrayed the Roman government and joined the war on Cleopatra’s side.
 After the decisive victory for Octavian at the Battle of Actium, Cleopatra and Antony withdrew to Alexandria, where Octavian besieged the city until both Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide.
Manon (] ) is an "opéra comique" in five acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille, based on the 1731 novel "L’histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut" by the Abbé Prévost.

The Donations of Alexandria (Autumn 34 BC) were a political act by Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony in which they distributed lands held by Rome and Parthia amongst Cleopatra's children, and granted them many titles, especially for Caesarion, son of Julius Caesar.
 These were the second of two such donations; a similar donations ceremony was held 2 years earlier in Antioch in 36 BC, at which time the donations enjoyed Octavian's full approval of the Antonian strategy to rule the East making use of Cleopatra's unique royal Seleucid lineage in the regions donated.
 Ultimately, the Donations (of 34 BC) caused a fatal breach in Antony's relations with Rome and were amongst the causes of the Final War of the Roman Republic.
Iullus Antonius (45 BC – 2 BC), also known as Iulus, Julus or Jullus, was a personage in Ancient Rome.
 He was the second son of Roman general Mark Antony and Antony's third wife Fulvia.

 He was the full brother of Marcus Antonius Antyllus, half-brother of Clodia Pulchra (the first wife of Augustus) through his mother's first marriage, half-brother of Antonia Major and Antonia Minor through his father's marriage to Octavia Minor, and half-brother of Alexander Helios, Cleopatra Selene II and Ptolemy Philadelphus through his father's marriage to Cleopatra VII.
 His stepsiblings were Marcellus, Claudia Marcella Major (later his wife), Caesarion and Claudia Marcella Minor.
 He was also stepson to Octavia Minor (sister of Augustus) and Cleopatra VII.
Manon Lescaut is an opera or opéra comique in 3 acts by Daniel Auber to a libretto by Eugène Scribe, and, like Puccini's "Manon Lescaut" and Massenet's "Manon", is based on the Abbé Prévost's novel "Manon Lescaut".

The Caesareum of Alexandria is an ancient temple in Alexandria, Egypt.
 It was conceived by Cleopatra VII of the Ptolemaic kingdom, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, to honour her dead lover Marc Antony.
