''Cleopatra'' is 1999 MiniSeries about UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII.

!!This work provides examples of:

* AfterActionPatchUp: Cleopatra tends to Caesar's wounds after they win the Siege of Alexandra against Ptolemy XIII and Arsinoe IV.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Arsinoe is executed in her cell by Cleopatra, which infuriates Caesar. After her real life capture, she was taken to Rome for Caesar's triumph, but spared and confined to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Cleopatra was always worried that Arsinoe would contest her claim to the throne again, who was eventually killed on Antony's orders.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate:
** Once again, Cleopatra is portrayed as supermodel, this time by Chilean actress Leonor Varela.
** So is Julius Caesar. He was balding in middle age, which Creator/TimothyDalton is not.
