Trade Review
"After reading, and perhaps re-reading, the contributions to this remarkable set off essays, the reasons contributing to the posthumous super-status of Cleopatra VII become self-evident." Bryn Mawr Classical Review (BMCR) "Supplements our current understanding of a rich tradition with new layers." -- Alastair Blanshard Prudentia
