Cleopatra: The Queen Who Challenged Rome and Conquered Eternity

by Alberto Angela Author and Katherine Gregor Translator

The story of Cleopatra is full of love, drama, backstabbing, and epic battles, but she's still a bit of a mystery. Cleopatra: The Queen Who Challenged Rome and Conquered Eternity paints a fresh picture of this ancient queen who could have her way politically or militarily but in the end was no match for the power of Rome. The story zooms in on a 20-year period in history— the assassination of Caesar, the end of the Republic, and Cleopatra and Antony going out in style. If you long to explore ancient Rome's bustling streets, or feel the exotic vibes of Ptolemaic Egypt, this book is for you.
