Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Caesar asked King Ptolemy, "How old are you?" What was Ptolemy's response?

Answer: 12

Pothinus said, "Old enough to rule Caesar." Caesar was not all that impressed with the boy king.

2. Who ruled jointly with Ptolemy?

Answer: Arsinoe

Although their father had declared Cleopatra and Ptolemy joint rulers, his wishes were ignored. Cleopatra was sent into exile while her sister Arsinoe usurped her position as Queen of Egypt.

3. How was Cleopatra presented to Caesar?

Answer: Rolled in a rug

This was made popular in the 1963 version as well as this version. The Great Caesar seemed mightily pleased to see the scantily clad queen in his room.

4. After declaring for Ptolemy and Cleopatra to be joint rulers of Egypt, what island did Caesar give Arsinoe?

Answer: Cyprus

Furthermore, Caesar declared that they would marry, much to Cleopatra's disgust. Arsinoe had asked, "What about me?" Arsinoe: "Cyprus? It's not enough."

5. How did Arsinoe and Ptolemy meet their deaths?

Answer: He hit his head on a rock and she was strangled

Ptolemy's cart overturned, and I assume that the driver was thrown clear and probably killed by the Romans. Ptolemy hit his head on the rock, you can see the blood in the water. Arsinoe was strangled by Cleopatra's bodyguards on her orders, much to Caesar's anger.

6. What did Cleopatra find out prior to Caesar leaving?

Answer: She was pregnant

Olympus had given her something to prevent a pregnancy, but she wanted this child. "Why?" "Because it would be Caesars!" She had ample opportunity to tell him he was going to be a father, but for some reason didn't tell him. This explains his surprise later on.

7. Who in Rome led the argument against Caesar in the Senate Chamber?

Answer: Brutus

While some agreed, many didn't, including Marc Antony and Octavian, until suddenly Caesar showed up causing Brutus to welcome him home.

8. What did Cleopatra name her son?

Answer: Ptolemy Caesar

Her staff was skeptical she should give him the name "Caesar" without Caesar's permission. She was determined to name him whatever she chose.

9. What were the Roman people calling The Queen of Egypt?

Answer: "Caesar's Whore!"

Caesar was angered, Cleopatra was humiliated and Calpurnia and Octavius were happily amused. Following that humiliation, Cleopatra presented Ptolemy Caesar to his father in front of his court. She laid him at his feet and was warned by Brutus not to touch him, otherwise he would claim him. Caesar had a look of "I'm sorry" to Calpurnia but picked him up, declared him son, and pronounced his name.

10. Who gave the final blow to Caesar which killed him?

Answer: Brutus

Caesar had been stabbed repeatedly by many men and had fallen to the floor. He was very weak but managed to pick himself up and saw Brutus. He even said, "Brutus?" Brutus stabbed him causing him to fall down and roll down the steps. His body was later burned as his senate, family and Cleopatra watched.
