Among them we will find Cleopatra, who is, well, ... an example of what we described earlier: it has been more than 2000 years since she roamed the Egyptian palaces, and she still imposes all kinds of beauty trends. She was portrayed in all sorts of ways, from the femme fatale to the relentless seductress that the Romans considered her to be.

So, as a tribute to the legendary Queen of Egypt and to all those celebrities who chose to play the part that portrayed her according to their time, we have made a collection for you to see how the image of Cleopatra has evolved on the screen.
