Cleopatra VII
On a usual day, Cleopatra managed the immense wealth of Egypt while operating as an active, hands-on ruler rather than a figurehead. Starting her day with rigorous beauty rituals, including bathing with scented oils and using kohl to protect her eyes, she prepared to meet with officials, issue decrees, and oversee projects in Alexandria.
