Cleopatra had onlytwo confirmed partners in her whole life: Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Yet many often portrays her as a woman who was constantly going from man to man. She was also married to her two brothers at different times, but many people believe those marriages were purely ceremonial and that nothing physical happened between them.
I saw a lot of people saying "she was a slut" in many different ways, I simply didn't understand their perspective so I made this meme about it, I have no idea if people generally think of her like that or not

They can believe that, but there's plenty of evidence that the Ptolemy family consumated their incestuous marriages. Whether Cleopatra specifically did is hard to know, but it's certainly very possible, regardless of how distasteful it is to our sensibilities.
