They should give Cleopatra a modern Macedonian flag next, just to delight our classical historians.

I am also a Italian and I 100% agree with you they should not have the Italian flag

As a Roman history nerd, it bothers me even more that they called Julius Caesar an emperor!! The empire had yet to even begin!! (It's hard for me to navigate the forums on my phone, I'm sure someone has already pointed this out). His highest office was dictator, and that only lasted a year or so before his death.

As an Italian, I can accept that the new "Roman Empire" robots have the Italian flag. Officially Italy was founded in 1861, so Cesare and the others were not Italians, they were Romans. But I can't accept that Chess.com considers Cleopatra to be Italian. She was Egyptian from the Ptolemaic dynasty, therefore of Greek origin. This is a blunder...
