It is well known that Cleopatra committed suicide with an asp, but where exactly did the asp bite her?

When the guards entered to see Cleopatra she was already dead. They found the 39-year old queen dead on her golden bed, with her maid Iras dying at her feet. Her other maid, Charmion, was weakly adjusting Cleopatra's crown, and she too fell over dead. Two pricks were found on Cleopatra's arm, and it was believed that she had allowed herself to be bitten by an asp (a kind of poisonous snake). As she had wished, she was buried beside Antony. http://www.kingtutshop.com/freeinfo/cleopatra.htm Sep 04 06, 1:39 AM
