Description
She was born two thousand years ago, yet to this day she remains one of the most famous women in the world.
Her name is Cleopatra. She is charming, ambitious, and believes she is the embodiment of Isis—the Egyptian goddess who rules human fate. Around her are people who hate her and envy her. She will have to fight for the throne of Egypt, but her great love and her great defeat are still ahead.
A wonderful book, an excellent novel about the last queen of Ancient Egypt—Cleopatra VII Philopator. The book covers the period of the life of this brilliant woman, when Rome played a decisive role in the world. Rome was seizing neighboring states and turning them into its provinces. The days of Egypt’s freedom were numbered.
Ptolemy XII Auletes, Cleopatra’s father, became known only for the fact that he played the flute well. He literally bought from Rome the right to power, showed loyalty to Roman politics, supplying his fleet and troops to Roman commanders.
Cleopatra proved herself a wise and subtle politician. After her father’s death, she had to fight for the independence of the state from Rome and for the Egyptian throne together with her brother and sister. According to the will of Ptolemy XII Auletes, Cleopatra marries her younger brother Ptolemy XIII and he becomes her co-ruler. Under Egyptian law, the queen could not reign alone.
And at the very moment—when, having been expelled from Alexandria by her husband co-ruler into Syria—she gathers troops to win back her throne, Caesar enters Egypt…
