The last of the Ptolemaic dynasty, Cleopatra Selene II was a princess, a queen, and a survivor. She was born into a world of political intrigue and dynastic warfare, and she was forced to navigate the treacherous waters of the Roman Empire as her family's power waned.
But Cleopatra Selene was not just a pawn in the game of power. She was a strong and resourceful woman who refused to be cowed by her circumstances. She married a Numidian king and ruled alongside him as queen, and she even managed to secure a measure of independence for her kingdom from the Romans.
Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover:
- The early life of cleopatra.
- Her exile and journey to reclaim her throne.
- The egyptian queen’s wealth and the golden city of alexandria.
- Her legendary encounter with julius caesar and the beginning of their alliance.
- How the romans pictured the young queen.
- Her challenges in governing the land of egypt and how she overcame a drought.
- Cleopatra’s image as the goddess isis.
One of the first independent female rulers of an ancient kingdom, cleopatra was a gifted diplomat, efficient administrator, and accomplished linguist who ruled her kingdom with more courage than the majority of her male predecessors.
Cleopatra’s death ended an era, but her life promised the dawn of a new age, one where women might dare to rule the world.
