Cleopatra Selene II or Cleopatra VII, unknown date (probably 1st C. BCE/CE)

"The moon herself, rising at early eve, dimmed her light, veiling her mourning in night, because she saw her namesake, pretty Selene, going down dead to murky Hades. On her she had bestowed the beauty of her light, and with her death she mingled her own darkness."

-Crinagoras of Mytilene, The Greek Anthology 7.633

Ancient Roman sculpture of Cleopatra Selene or her mother, Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt, from the Archaeological Museum of Cherchel, Algeria.
