Historical character
Cleopatra VII (69-30 BC) was the last queen of Ancient Egypt, a time when was very widespread coregency or co-principality: a way of ruling in which Pharaoh exercised his/her monarch functions together with another person. This system allowed the learning of the future sovereign, at the same time that he/she was evaluated.
Furthermore, in Ancient Egypt, unlike what happened in later times, women in general, could share property with their husband, inherit, buy and sell property.
The asteroid Kleopatra is related with the access rights to shared functions or assets that are granted to a trusted person.
