Cleopatra
About this book
This is the dramatic story of the last Queen of Egypt–famous throughout history and always misunderstood. The myth of her great beauty hides her true accomplishments–brilliance, courage, and immense ambition. She won the hearts of two of the towering figures of the age, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and risked everything in her pursuit of world power. Set against the lavish backdrop of the Egyptian court at Alexandria and the dramatic final days of the Roman republic, Cleopatra’s world is brought richly to life in this beautifully illustrated book.
