According to the experts at National Geographic and our wildlife technicians, snakes have many enemies if you can believe it. Enemies like large birds, wild boars, a mongoose, raccoons, foxes, coyotes and even other snakes are a few of the dangers snakes fall prey to. Like much of Medieval literature about Cleopatra, Boccaccio's writings are largely negative and misogynistic. The 14th-century poet Geoffrey Chaucer counters these depictions, offering a positive view of Cleopatra. [126] Chaucer began his hagiography on virtuous pagan women with the life of Cleopatra, depicted in a satirical fashion as a queen engaged in courtly love with her knight Mark Antony. [127] [128] His depiction of her suicide included a pit of serpents rather than the Roman tale of the asps. [129] [130] Cleopatra, by Michelangelo, c. 1535 Ancient Roman fresco in the Pompeian Third Style possibly depicting Cleopatra, from the House of the Orchard at Pompeii, Italy, mid-1st century AD [3] A gold-platedsterling silver ring in the shape of a coiled snake, inspired by an original Roman ring found in Alexandria.

Fletcher, Joann (2008), Cleopatra the Great: The Woman Behind the Legend, New York: Harper, ISBN 9780060585587.Following the First Triumvirate and assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, the Roman statesmen Octavian, Mark Antony, and Aemilius Lepidus were elected as triumvirs to bring Caesar's assassins to justice, forming the Second Triumvirate. [4] [5] With Lepidus marginalized in Africa and eventually placed under house arrest by Octavian, [6] [7] [8] the two remaining triumvirs divided control over the Roman world between the Greek East and Latin West, Antony taking the former and Octavian the latter. [9] [10] Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt, a pharaoh of Macedonian Greek descent who ruled from Alexandria, [11] [12] [13] had an extramarital affair with Julius Caesar that produced a son and eventual Ptolemaic co-ruler Caesarion. [14] [15] [16] After Caesar's death she developed a relationship with Antony. [9] [17] [18] Cue this guide. It runs through five of the most feared, the most formidable serpents that currently make their home in the land of Tutankhamun and the Valley of the Kings. The focus is on the ones with the worst venom; the snakes that can kill a human in just a matter of hours. You know, the sort of creatures you definitely do not want to come across on a tour of northeastern Africa. It is one of only three venomous snake species found in Virginia, the other being copperheads and water moccasins. The experimental progress and scientific ideas in medicine as well as anatomical studies represented the higher point in Antiquity with Herophilus and Erasistratus who denied, however, the use of different substances, including those venemous, as remedies. Apollodorus of Tarentum, a remarkable scholar, led the subsequent studies of toxicology. However Ptolemy VIII Evergetes II, one of the most brutal politicians called Kakergētēs (Malefactor) [ 7], drove out of Alexandria the Greek intellectuals, contributing to the dispersion of Herophilean School and the decline of the Museion [ 8]. The group of toxicologists in Alexandrian school was larger. Apollodorus of Tarentum (ca. 300 BC), the father of iology, name given later to the toxicological science, dealt the first with poisonous animals in On the bites and stings of animals and in other with deleterious or deadly drugs On murdered poisons, explaining treatments and symptoms of animal bites. Herophilus (ca. 335−280 BC) to prepare his simple and sophisticated drugs, was the first to use poisonous substances, known already in Egyptian medical Papyri, as Munera divina, called by Erasistratus (310−250 BC) ‘the hands of the gods or divine hands’ [ 66]. His disciple Straton [ 67] of Lampsacus, young Ptolemy Philadelphus’ teacher, was especially interested in the therapy of human and poisoned animal bites therapy while his pupil Apollonius of Memphis (ca. 250 BC), prepared a remedy against all venoms. Philinos (ca. 250 BC), founder of the Empirical school, wrote probably a book of poisonous animals. In addition, Andreas, Ptolemy IV’s personal physician, contributed by studying deeply simples, snake bites and the toxic effects of certain plants and animals.
