Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which was entirely Greek. The dynasty was founded by #Ptolemy Soter, who was one of the #Macedonian generals of Alexander the Great and his successor in Egypt. The Ptolemies, as deified #pharaohs , adopted the custom of marrying only members of their own family. Occasionally, the #Ptolemies would marry members of other Greek dynasties like the Seleucids, who had some Sogdian ancestry (via Seleucus’ wife Apama, daughter of Spitamenes, the Sogdian enemy of #Alexander). So, Cleopatra didn’t have a single drop of native Egyptian blood. The Ptolemies only spoke Greek, and #Cleopatra_VII was the only one who learned the Egyptian language. Despite being culturally, linguistically and ethnically Greek, they adopted the #Egyptian gods in a syncretism with the Greek ones.

Baiae, underwater archaeological park

Baiae was a favourite destination for aristocrats and the powerful of the ancient Rome.

Between the 7th and 8th centuries, tectonic movements caused much of the coast between Pozzuoli and Cumae, including Baiae, to sink. Baiae was discovered by a diver in the 1960s and is now an important reference point for underwater archaeology. Remains of monuments have been found, such as a room from the imperial palace from the 1st century, a sculptural group depicting the Cyclops Polyphemus and a statue of Antonia the Younger, mother of the Emperor Claudius.

Santa Maria dell'Isola, Tropea, Italy: The church of Santa Maria dell'Isola (VII-VIII century) stands in Tropea, on the rock of the same name. The sanctuary stands on a sandstone rock called Isola, because it was once completely surrounded by the sea: a perfect position for contemplative retreat, so much so that in the Middle Ages it was a refuge for hermits and Byzantine monks.. Tropea is an Italian town in the province of Vibo Valentia in Calabria. Wikipedia
