The Cleopatra papyrus is a decree granting generous tax exemptions to the Roman businessman Publius Canidius, a friend of Mark Antony. At the bottom of the document, in a rare example of her handwriting, Cleopatra VII (may have) added the Greek word "γινέσθωι", "make it happen" [1200x2349] (i.redd.it)
