What do you think of when you hear the name "Cleopatra"? Most of us probably think of her as being a wily temptress with a bit of a man-eating habit, but according to this Twitter thread, there was even more crazy sh*t going on in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt! We can bet that history buffs will really get a kick out of this Twitter thread written by Anne Theriault!
