Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores Cleopatra's historical identity through ancient coinage, arguing she was Greek rather than black African despite Egypt's North African location. It delves into her strategic motives, particularly her manipulation of Mark Antony, aiming to instigate a proxy war that would lead to a civil conflict in Rome as revenge for the Greek conquests. This analysis provides a nuanced understanding of Cleopatra's political ambitions and the complexities of her role in ancient history.
