More about the book
Focusing on Cleopatra VII's reign from 51 to 30 BCE, this biography delves into her efforts to restore the supremacy of the Lagides in the eastern Mediterranean. It critically examines Greek and Latin sources, highlighting their biases and the propaganda used by Octavian against her during his rivalry with Mark Antony. By integrating Egyptian sources with classical materials, the author presents a nuanced portrayal of Cleopatra as both a significant historical figure and a queen navigating a tumultuous period.
