Loeb/Perseus Antony and Britannica narrate wars in Egypt and the Mediterranean as the price of the Roman civil-war alliance. The dated carrier is that later Greek-in-English plus encyclopedia.
Context
She is not the sole author of Actium. Shared with Antony and Octavian. Medium confidence on magnitudes; high that war is the received public story.
Cleopatra is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Cleopatra

Named Ptolemaic queen as heading of coins and later narratives. Roman rivals, mint workers, and later studios share the instrument.
