One of Italy's most revered cultural figures reconstructs the extraordinary life of Cleopatra at the height of her power in an epic tale of passion, intrigue, betrayal, and war. While she is a renowned historical figure, Cleopatra remains an enigma. This mesmerizing history offers a fresh portrait of a ruler who was a strikingly modern woman born in an ancient era, adept in diplomacy and warfare, and who captured the heart of Marc Antony and Rome itself. The narrative spans a twenty-year period that transformed Roman history, beginning with Julius Caesar's assassination, which marked the end of the Republic, and concluding with the suicides of Antony and Cleopatra and the rise of the Augustan Empire. Angela vividly brings to life the people, stories, customs, and traditions of this fascinating time, transporting readers to the chaotic streets of ancient Rome, the exotic port of Alexandria, and the bloody battlefields where empires were forged and lost. Meticulously researched and rich in detail, this sweeping history evokes the works of notable historians, recreating a remarkable era and the woman at its turbulent center.
