## Image Caption

A face re-creation based on, the Bust of [Cleopatra VII](https://www.worldhistory.org/Cleopatra_VII/) (l. c. 69-30 BCE, r. 51-30 BCE), that is a granite bust currently on display in the Gallery of Ancient [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/) at the Royal Ontario Museum. It is believed to have been discovered in [Alexandria](https://www.worldhistory.org/alexandria/), Egypt at the site of [Cleopatra](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/cleopatra/)'s sunken [palace](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/palace/) on the island of Antirhodos.

Note that in this recreation Cleopatra looks rather pale-skinned because the [Ptolemaic Dynasty](https://www.worldhistory.org/Ptolemaic_Dynasty/) was ethnically Macedonian and did not intermarry with Egyptians.
