Ancient Egyptian queen (9)

I believe the answer is:

cleopatra

(Other definitions for cleopatra that I've seen before include "beauty of old" , "Beautiful queen of ancient Egypt" , "ruler" , "Queen of Egypt, loved by Caesar and Mark Antony" , "1st century queen of Egypt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Sydney Morning Herald.
