Cleopatra

[Jillian]

Does anyone know anything about when
Cleopatra (Philip's second wife) was born, and
died and all that?? Specifically, how old was
she when she married Philip?
Thanks!!

Hi Jillian,For a start, Cleopatra (if you mean Attalus' niece, which I assume you do) wasn't Philip's second wife, but his seventh (or something like that). Olympias, Alexander's mother, was his third, after all.As to when she was born, no-one knows, but she was probably only about 16 when Philip married her (in 337, I think). We aren't entirely sure when she died, but it was either late in 336 or at some point in 335.All the bestMarcus
