Book Synopsis
Cleopatra - a brave, astute, and charming woman - continues to fascinate centuries after she ruled Egypt. This title includes essays that explore such topics as Cleopatra's controversial trip to Rome, her suicide by snake bite, and the afterlife of her love potions.

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
