Cleopatra as a Goddess; 1st century BC

An ancient Roman wall painting in Room 71 of the House of Marcus Fabius Rufus at Pompeii, Italy, showing Venus with a cupid's arms wrapped around her. It is most likely a depiction of Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt as Venus Genetrix, with her son Caesarion as a cupid. It was most likely painted in conjunction with the September 46 BC foundation of the Temple of Venus Genetrix in the Forum of Caesar by Julius Caesar, where he erected a gilded statue depicting Queen Cleopatra (as described by Appian and Dio Cassius).
