Since she was an inbreed Ptolemy/Macedonian she should be played by a woman who looks Mediterranean, no?

Every bust I've seen of hers, even coins that had her image, looked like a European woman.
 
I'm not sure.
But I damn sure know she wasn't White like Elizabeth Taylor portrayed in the 1963 film and contrary to the pro afro-centric beauty sect, she wasn't Black either.
I know that Cleopatra wasn't Egyptian solely by birth.
Her father was also of Greek/Macedonian ancestry. And her mother's racial and ethnic background is not fully known.
So, I'm guessing she was actually biracial. (Whatever that meant at that time.)

I imagine her looking sort of like this:

You need an actress who could believably portray this.
Personally, I pick Priyanka Chopra from the show Quantico.

When Caesar first saw her, she is described as being a teenager wearing diaphanous clothing...Sounds like she'd have to be damn near nekkid most of the time.
